"What is G00 Positioning in Rapid (Rapid Traverse) in CNC Programming??"

G-CODE FORMAT:  N_G00 X_ Y_ Z_A_B_C

 Description:

G00 is a non-cutting movement Code which commands the machine to move from a position to a specified point as fast as it can (which may call Rapid Movement). If you are using older machine controller G00 rather moving in all axis to create straight line to position point it will move one axis at a time as shown below. Keep in mind about the collisions on the fixtures while programming.

Note:

1.       If G41 or G42 are active when a G00 command is programmed, the tool radius compensation will not function again until a G01, G02 or G03 command is programmed.

2.        The G0 code is modal and is therefore incompatible with G01, G02 and G03 codes in the same block.

3.        The G00 code can be written into a program in two ways: G00 or G0.

4.       The axis co-ordinate moves following a GØØ command can be programmed as either:

Absolute values (relative to a set datum point) are following setting of the G9Ø code or incremental values (relative to the last stated co-ordinate in the program) following setting of the G91 code.
