TOOL PATH CONTROL
6.1 Rapid traverse (G00)
Movements programmed after G00 are executed in a straight line and
at the rapid feedrate set by the machine manufacturer from the current
position to the destination or target point. Regardless of the number
of axes involved, the resulting path is always a straight line.
When auxiliary or rotary axes are involved in rapid positioning, the
movement is carried out so it begins and ends when the main axes
begin and end their movement.
Programming
The movements may be defined as follows:
• In Cartesian coordinates ("X","X1"..."C9")
Defining the coordinates of the end point on the various axes.
All the axes need not be programmed, only the ones to move.
• In polar coordinates ("R", "Q")
Defining the radius and the angle of the end point referred to the
polar origin.
The "R" radius will be the distance between the polar origin and the
point. The "Q" angle will be formed by the abscissa axis and the
line joining the polar origin with the point.
If the angle or the radius is not programmed, it keeps the value
programmed for the last move.
