2.1.2 Linear interpolation (G01)
Format
G01 X... Y... Z... F... ;
With the commands of G01, linear interpolation is executed in the simultaneous
3-axis (*5-axis) control mode. The axes not designated in the G01 block do not mo-
ve. For the execution of the linear interpolation, the above command must be spe-
cified.
Feedrate
Feedrate is designated by an F code. The axes are controlled so that vector sum
(tangential velocity in reference to the tool moving direction) of feedrate of the desi-
gnated axes will be the specified feedrate.
F(mm∕min) = Fx

(Fx: feedrate in the X-axis direction)
Note
If no F code is designated in the block containing G01 or in the preceding blocks,
execution of a G01 block causes an alarm.
If the optional 4th and 5th axis are rotary axes (A-, B-, or C-axis), feedrates of basic
three axes (X-, Y-, and Z-axis) and the optional 4th and 5th axis are determined in
the machine data (MD).
