4.1 POSITIONING (G00)
The G00 command moves a tool to the position in the workpiece
system specified with an absolute or an incremental command at a
rapid traverse rate.
In the absolute command, coordinate value of the end point is
programmed.
In the incremental command the distance the tool moves is
programmed.
Format
G00 IP_ ;
IP_ : For an absolute command, the coordinates of an end
point, and for an incremental command, the distance
the tool moves.
Explanation
Either of the following tool paths can be selected according to bit 1
(LRP) of parameter No. 1401.
• Nonlinear interpolation type positioning
The tool is positioned with the rapid traverse rate for each axis
separately. The tool path is normally straight.
• Linear interpolation type positioning. The tool is positioned
within the shortest possible time at a speed that is not more than
the rapid traverse rate for each axis.
End position
Non linear interpolation type positioning
Start position
Linear interpolation type positioning
The rapid traverse rate in G00 command is set to the parameter No.
1420 for each axis independently by the machine tool builder. In the
positioning mode actuated by G00, the tool is accelerated to a
predetermined speed at the start of a block and is decelerated at the
end of a block. Execution proceeds to the next block after confirming
the in-position.
"In-position " means that the feed motor is within the specified range.
This range is determined by the machine tool builder by setting to
parameter (No. 1826).
