G01: Linear Move
Overview
- The G01 command instructs a move in a straight line to a designated coordinate position at a specified feed rate, typically used for cutting operations.
Command Format
-
Syntax:
G01 X... Y... Z... E... F...
-
Axes
X... Y... Z...E...
- Target coordinate positions to move to.
- If an axis is not specified, then no motion will occur for it.
-
Feed Rate
F...
- The speed at which the movement should occur
- If the feed rate is not specified, then the last used feed rate will be used
-
Units:
-
Move End Point:
- The end point for the linear movement can be specified in either incremental (G91) or absolute (G90) values.
- In absolute programming (G90), the machine moves to a specific point in the coordinate system.
- In incremental programming (G91), the machine moves a specified distance from its current position.
Examples
-
G01 X50 Y25 F150
moves the tool to coordinates X50, Y25 at a feed rate of 150 units/min
Details
- Axes not specified by the G01 command do not move.
