What is a G code?
G-code (or Geometric Code) is a language used to control CNC machines. It provides instructions for the machine on how to move, cut, and operate. The G-code tells the CNC machine's controller what actions to perform, such as positioning the tool, controlling the speed, and executing specific operations.
Some common G-code commands include:
- G0: Rapid positioning (moving the tool quickly to a new location).
- G1: Linear interpolation (controlled movement of the tool along a straight path).
- G2: Circular interpolation clockwise.
- G3: Circular interpolation counterclockwise.
- G20: Programming in inches.
- G21: Programming in millimeters.
- G28: Return to home position.
G-code can vary slightly between machine types, but it is the standard used in most CNC machining processes.
