G53 moves one or more axes to a machine coordinate position. When several axes are given, they move together in a straight line and arrive at the same time. Axes can be linear, rotary, or a mix of both.

Syntax

Modal
No – this line only
Coordinates
Machine coordinates

Parameters

WordMeaning
X Y Z A BAxes to move and their machine coordinate targets, in the current machine units. Several axes can go on one line.
G00Use with G53 to move at rapid speed.
G01 + FUse with G53 to move at a set feed rate.

Examples

CodeResult
N10 G53 G00 X10 Y20Rapids to machine coordinates X10 Y20.
N10 G53 G01 X10 Y20 F100Moves to machine coordinates X10 Y20 at 100 mm/min.
INFORMATION
Units are inches or millimetres, depending on the machine setup and whether G20 or G21 is active.
