Milling Programming

Basic programming commands

Compensation and offset
Fixed cycles
Macro and subroutine programming

Tool motion commands

Rapid traverse G00 X_ Y_ Z_

Linear Interpolation (G01)

G01 X_ Y_ Z_ F_
Example
G90
G00 X1.0 Y1.0
G01 Y5.0 F7.5
X7.0
X1.0 Y1.0

Circular Interpolation (G02, G03)

G02
clockwise
G03
counterclockwise

Plane selection (G17, G18, G19)

G17-G19: G-code priority plane selection
G02 X_ Y_ I_ J_ F_ : Axis-address priority
plane selection
It is not a modal command and thus effective for

only one block.

Example
G18 G03 X_ Z_ J_ F_ arc interpolation in ZXplane
G17 G03 X_ Y_ Z_ R_ F_ Helical cutting with
circular motion in the XY-plane and linear motion
in Z axis.

G90: Absolute system
G91: Incremental system
Input Unit Selection (G70 G20, G71 G21)
G70 G20: inch system
G71 G21: metric system
Absolute Zero Setting (G92)
G92 X_ Y_ Z_
(X, Y, Z) is the current tool position in the
defined coordinate system
