Note
As in positioning with G00, the axes traverse independently of each other (not interpolated),
each axis reaches its end point at a different time. Hence, one must be very careful in
positioning with several axes, so that a tool does not collide with a workpiece of the tool
during the positioning.
Linear interpolation (G00)
Linear interpolation with G00 is defined by setting the machine data 20732
$MC_EXTERN_GO_LINEAR_MODE. Here, all programmed axes traverse in rapid traverse
with linear interpolation and reach their target positions simultaneously.
2.1.2

Linear interpolation (G01)

With G01 the tool travels on paraxial, inclined or straight lines arbitrarily positioned in space.
Linear interpolation permits machining of 3D surfaces, grooves, etc.
Format
G01 X... Y... Z... F... ;
In G01, the linear interpolation is executed with the path feed. The axes that are not
specified in the block with G01 are not traversed. The linear interpolation is programmed as
in the example given above.
