G01 Linear Interpolated Cutting Move
The G01 command moves the tool to the designated XYZ Program coordinate at
the designated feedrate using 3-Axis linear interpolation.
Example:
G01 X2.0 Y1.0 Z-1.5 F2.0 Moves the tool directly to the Program
coordinate X=2.0, Y=1.0, Z=-1.5 at a
feedrate of 2.0 in/min.
You do not need to specify all three coordinates, only the ones for which you
want movement.
Example:
G01 X4.0 Y3.0 Moves the tool to Program coordinate
X=4.0, Y=3.0, leaving the Z position
unchanged.
When using G01, there are several things to keep in mind:
• As explained for the G00 Command, X,Y, and Z are not required.
• The command is modal, i.e. G01 is in effect until another move
command occurs (G00, G02, or G03).
• The interpretation of the coordinates depends on the G90/G91
command in effect.
• The F command is used to designate a feedrate. The feedrate set with
the F command is modal (stays in effect until another F command
occurs).
Example:
G01 X4.0 Y3.0 Z1.0 F7.0 Moves the tool to Program coordinate
X=4.0, Y=3.0, Z=1.0 at a feedrate of 7.0
in/min.
X2.0 Y2.5 Moves the tool to Program Coordinate
X=2.0 Y=2.5, leaving the Z axis unchanged
at Z=1.0. The feedrate remains 7.0 in/min.
G02 Clockwise Circular Cutting Move
The G02 command moves the tool in a clockwise path from the starting point (the
current tool position) to the designated ending point in the currently selected plane
(see G17-G19). The I , J, and K parameters represent the relative X, Y, and Z
distances (respectively) from the starting point of the arc to the center point of the
arc.
