Rapid Traverse

Command

G0

Cancellation

G1, G2 or G3

Rapid traverse is used to position the tool quickly, and is not to be used for machining the workpiece. The axes are driven at maximum velocity.

If a number of axes are to be driven in rapid traverse, the velocity is determined by that axis that requires the most time for its movement.

An accurate stop (G60) is cancelled with G0.

The rapid traverse velocity is set individually for each axis. It can be edited in the axis parameters in the System Manager under NCI parameters.
