G00 Rapid positioning

Fanuc G-code · Mill, Lathe

On mills: Rapid positioning

Moves the axes at rapid traverse to the commanded point. Used for moves in air only, never for cutting. Speed is set by parameter and the rapid override, not by F.

Format

Addresses

How it works

Modal, group 01. Stays active until G01, G02, G03 or a canned cycle is commanded.

Example program

The full 5-line example is in the app. Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

• The axes may not move in a straight line. Depending on a parameter each axis can run at full rapid, giving a dog leg path. Clear clamps and fixtures on both legs.
• Bring Z down to a safe height first and move X Y after, or the reverse when leaving the part.
• F is ignored in G00 but is remembered for the next G01.

On lathes: Rapid positioning

Moves the tool at rapid traverse to the commanded point. X is a diameter value. Use it for approach and retract moves only, never for cutting.

How it works

Modal, group 01. Stays active until G01, G02, G03 or a cycle code.

Example program

The full 6-line example is in the app. Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

• Axes may not move in a straight line. By default each axis runs at its own rapid rate, so the path can dog-leg.
• Clear the part in X first before moving Z toward the chuck.
• Rapid override on the panel affects G00.
