Dwell (G04), (#TIME)

Dwell (G04), (#TIME)

G04 <1.main_axis><expr> | <expr> (non-modal)

G04 Dwell time

<1.main_axis><expr> The dwell time is specified with the name of the first main axis in seconds or

<expr> as direct specification of the dwell time in seconds

Dwell is needed, for instance, during relief-cutting or possibly for machine functions.

The dwell may only be programmed alone in the NC-block (exception: block-no)..

Programming example

N10 G04 X4.13 (wait for 4.13 seconds)

N20 G04 2.13 (wait for 2.13 seconds)

Another possibility for specifying dwell is the usage of the extended function #TIME.

#TIME <expr> (non-modal)

#TIME Dwell time

<expr> Value of dwell time ic sec.

N10 #TIME 4.13      (wait for 4.13 seconds)
