G00 : G code (group 01) for positioning (rapid traverse)
IP_ ; Dimension word for the end point
The positioning command (G00) positions the tool by rapid traverse. In
rapid traverse, the next block is executed after the specified feedrate
becomes 0 and the servo motor reaches a certain range set by the machine
tool builder (in–position check).
A rapid traverse rate is set for each axis by parameter No. 1420, so no rapid
traverse feedrate need be programmed.
The following overrides can be applied to a rapid traverse rate with the
switch on the machine operator’s panel:F0, 25, 50, 100%
F0: Allows a fixed feedrate to be set for each axis by parameter No. 1421.
For detailed information, refer to the appropriate manual of the machine
tool builder.
