G53 Move in machine coordinates
LinuxCNC Tormach G-code · Mill and lathe
Makes the move in the same block use machine coordinates, ignoring work and tool offsets.
Format
G53 G0 [X] [Y] [Z] or G53 G1 [X] [Y] [Z] F
Addresses
| Address | What it does |
|---|---|
X Y Z | Target in machine coordinates |
How it works
Non modal. Needed on every block that uses it.
Example program
G20 G17 G40 G49 G54 G80 G90 G94 (INCH, SAFE START)
G53 G0 Z0 (Z TO TOP OF TRAVEL)
G53 G0 X0 Y0 (TABLE TO MACHINE ZERO)
M2
G53 G0 Z0 (Z TO TOP OF TRAVEL)
G53 G0 X0 Y0 (TABLE TO MACHINE ZERO)
M2
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- Needs G0 or G1 active or in the same block.
- Error with cutter compensation on.
- G53 G0 Z0 is a common safe retract to the top of Z travel.
