7.1 Explaining Basic Cycles

Rapid

Rapid Move

Rapid Move initiates rapid traverse. The machine builder sets the actual rapid rate in the Setup Utility. Use Rapid Move to position the tool prior to or after a cut. Do not use Rapid Move to cut a part.

One to four axes can be included on a block with Rapid Move.

X, Y, Z, and U reach the target simultaneously.

Rapid Move is modal, and remains in effect until canceled or overridden.

Rapid Move can be programmed in absolute or incremental, and follows the active mode.

Conversational format: Rapid

G-code format: G0

Rapid is overridden by the Line Move, and uses the Feed Rate that has been provided.

Press the Other button to select the Rapid Move variant that best fits your needs. Each variant is described next. This figure visually depicts the Angle and Radius parameters used in some of these variants to specify the desired end point coordinate.

Rapid Move - EndPoint:

Specify the desired end point coordinate using actual position designations, either in absolute or incremental.

Field Code Description

XX Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired X-Axis destination.

YY Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired Y-Axis destination.

ZZ Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired Z-Axis destination.

UU Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired U-Axis destination.

ToolComp	T	Select the modal tool diameter
		compensation to activate or select Off to
