X_ Y_ Z_ U_: Target position to traverse
Single Direction Positioning (G60) is the function used for tool traversing, which replaces the Rapid Traverse or runs
last. After stopping at the position separated by the overrun stroke set for the commanded positioning direction, it
moves to the end position and obtains the effect of backlash compensation.
Therefore, the G60 command is applied, it always moves from the same direction to the target position.
The overrun amount is stored in the parameters.
Please refer to the overrun feed amount of the single direction positioning of NC channel / axis parameters.
