G00 Rapid positioning
Okuma OSP G-code · Mill, Lathe
On mills: Rapid positioning
Moves the axes at rapid traverse to the commanded point. Use it for moves in air only, never for cutting.
Format
Addresses
| Address | What it does |
|---|---|
X Y Z | End point of the move |
How it works
Modal, motion group. Stays on until G01, G02 or G03.
Example program
N1 G15 H1 (WORK COORDINATE SYSTEM 1)
N2 T1 M06 (.500 END MILL)
N3 G00 G90 X-1. Y-1. S3000 M03 (RAPID TO START)
…
The full 5-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. Move Z up first, then X and Y, to avoid clamps.
- G00 stays active, so the next block without a G code is also a rapid move.
On lathes: Rapid positioning
Moves the turret at rapid traverse to the commanded point. X is a diameter value.
Format
Addresses
| Address | What it does |
|---|---|
X | End point diameter |
Z | End point in Z |
How it works
Modal, motion group.
Example program
N1 G50 S3000 (MAX SPINDLE 3000 RPM)
N2 G00 X3.2 Z.1 T010101 (TOOL 1 TO START)
N3 G96 S500 M03 (500 SFM)
…
The full 6-line example is in the app. Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- Cancel G96 before long rapids to the index point or the spindle speed jumps.
- X is diameter, so a move of X1. is only .5 in radius.
