PATH CONTROL.
8.1 Rapid traverse (G00).
Function G00 executes a rapid positioning, according to a straight line and to the rapid
traverse determined by the OEM, from the current position to the programmed point.
Regardless of the number of axes involved, the resulting path is always a straight line. If
auxiliary or rotary axes are programmed in the linear interpolation block, the CNC will
calculate the feedrate for those axes so their movement begins and ends simultaneously
with the main axes.
Programming.
The G00 function can be modal or non-modal, depending on how it has been configured by
the OEM (parameter G0MODAL).
• When function G00 is modal, after it has been programmed, it remains active until an
incompatible function is programmed (G01, G02, G03, G33 or G63). The function G00
may be programmed alone in the block or it may be added to a movement block.
• If the G00 function is non-modal, it must be programmed for each rapid traverse block;
if it is not programmed, the CNC uses G01.
Programming format.
The programming format is the following; the arguments appear between curly brackets and
the optional ones, between angle brackets.
G00 <X..C{position}>
End point of the movement.
• For cartesian coordinates, defining the coordinates of the end point (X..C) on the various
axes. All the axes need not be programmed, only the ones to move.
X..C{position} Optional. End point of the movement.
Units: Millimeters, inches or degrees.
