G00 - Rapid Motion

The G00 command is used to move one or more axes to a specified position at the machine’s maximum rapid speed.

If multiple axes are specified, they will move together in a straight line and reach the target position at the same time.
Axes can be linear, rotary, or a combination of both.

G00 is a modal command and belongs to Group 1.

Syntax & Parameters

G00 followed by the axis (or axes) you want to move and their target coordinates.

Multiple axes can be included on the same line.

Axis Parameters

X, Y, Z, A, B Value
Moves the specified axis to the given position using the current machine units.
U, V, W Value
Performs an incremental move on the X, Y, or Z axis while the machine is in G90 Absolute mode.
- U - X axis
- V - Y axis
- W - Z axis

INFORMATION: U, V, and W moves are always incremental, regardless of whether the machine is in G90 Absolute or G91 Incremental mode.

Example Program

N10 G21
N20 G00 X10 Y20 Z30

Explanation:

G21 sets the machine units to millimetres.
G00 X10 Y20 Z30 moves the machine from its current position to X 10 mm, Y 20 mm, Z 30 mm in a straight line at the maximum rapid speed allowed by the machine.

INFORMATION: Units are defined as inches or millimetres, depending on the machine setup or whether G20 or G21 is active.

INFORMATION: G00 motion can be used in both G90 Absolute and G91 Incremental modes.
