Linear interpolation with rapid traverse: G0
Functionality
The rapid traverse movement G0 is used for fast positioning of the tool, however, not for
direct workpiece machining.
All axes can be traversed simultaneously - on a straight path.
For each axis, the maximum speed (rapid traverse) is defined in machine data. If only one
axis traverses, it uses its rapid traverse. If two axes are traversed simultaneously, the path
velocity (resulting velocity) is selected to achieve the maximum possible path velocity in
consideration of both axes.
A programmed feedrate (F word) has no meaning for G0. G0 remains active until canceled
by another instruction from this G group (G1, G2, G3, ...).
