Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Learning G Code

Hi, i am a bit rusty but got a few things you should be able to do. first
use the jog and move all 3 axis to middle of movement and clear and zero
their positions.
g01 command moves axis with a speed control so ;
g01 x.5 f02 hence move x .5 inches with feed rate "02" the feedrate is
dependant on the maximum you have set.
g00 command rapid travel so try this
g00 x0 move x back to 0 at rapid speed.
g01 f02 y.5 move y axis .5 at feedrate "02"
g00 y0 moves y axis back to 0 at rapid travel and so on( you may subistute
any axis x,y or z)
if you want to move both axis at same time do this
g01 x.5 y.5 f02 now both axis will move at same time and the actual
direction will be 45 degrees.
all commands have a space as i have shown you.
g00spacex.5spacey.5spacef00space
a simple program to move axis
g01 f02 x.5 y.5 move x,y .5inch
g00 x.5 y0 rapid y to 0
g00 x0 rapid x to 0
g01 z.5 move z .5 inch
g00 z0 rapid z back to 0

now you may use "mdi" or manual execute mode from the keyboard. or you may
type this simple program up in notepad but make sure you save the file as
"ascii text mode" or text only file.
do not enter the explaination i gave as part of the program. I think you
must use ( ) or " " to tell program to ignore comments otherwise it may give
you an error or make a move you do not want!. cul brian f.
