G00 - Rapid Move

Rapid move machine to programmed position.

G00 sets the CNC movement mode to rapid traverse, also known as rapid travel. This code is used to move the CNC table and/or spindle in a straight line at the maximum speed. However, G00 doesn't control the speed of the machine's motion, It ignores any feed rate set with the F code, and instead moves as fast as possible. G00 can be used to move any combination of the machine's axes, including the X, Y, and Z axes.

Syntax

G00 <X..W @^>

Parameters

X..W Axis position. (optional)
