6. Command System
6.1. Description of Programing Symbols
In CNC cutting operation, each step is taken according to a program. Each machining
program is composed of several command segments, each command segment is composed
of several function words and each function word is required to be a letter followed by parameter
value.
Definitions of Function Words:
N Serial number of command segment
G Preparatory function
M Auxiliary function
T Tool function(refer to as flame width in this system)
L Number of cycles, time delay
X X-axis(diameter) absolute coordinate
Y Y-axis absolute coordinate
I The difference between the coordinate value of circle center and X-axis original value in
arc cutting operation
J The difference between the coordinate value of circle center and Y-axis original value in
arc cutting operation
R To designate arc radius
H To designate arc chordal height
A Auxiliary variable
F To designate machining speed for G01, G02 and G03
Note 1: The following rules are valid in the definitions below:
X[U]n--- It is allowed to be either X or U and n stand for a value;
同理,
Y[V]n----It is allowed to be either Y or V, and n stand for a value;
PPn------It is allowed to be a combination of any two axes or one axis at least.
Note 2: In command execution, the previous program has higher priority than the following one; for the same
program, M, S and T command haver higher priority than G command.
6.2. Coordinate System
This CNC system uses standard rectangular coordinate system, as shown in the figure below.
