--------- Gcode Basic Summary --------- The LCAM supports the following Gcode commands. The Gcode is basic Fanuc compatible and has been tested on a 21MB fanuc control. G00 Linear Rapid G01 Linear Feed G02 Arc G03 Arc G90 Set absolute It Supports the following Mcodes M06 T (followed by tool number) M30 End of program G00 followed by xyz coordinates is the Rapid move with the tool up Here is an example program. (The comment shouldn't be in the real file) EG: Comment G90 ; specifies absolute coordinates G00Z0.75 ; raises the Z axis to .75 above the work G00X1.00Y2.125 ; moves the machine to (xy) 1 , 2.125 G01Z-0.25 ; drop the Z axis into the work .25" G01X4.0 ; move the X axis only to 4.0 G01Y3.5 ; moves the Y axis to 3.5 G00X1.0Y1.00Z-0.5 ; 3d move of x,y,z M30 ; end of program Notes: - The G00 and G01 are Modal which means that you don't need to specify an xy or z position if the machine is already there. You can use xy and z in each line , but the file gets bigger. - G02 and G03 arn't modal and require the complete line X,Y,I,J - In circular (G2,G3) XY are absolute and I,J are relative to the center. - There should only be 1 Gcode per line. If there is more than one then only the last gcode is used. - Use absolute coordinates (G90) only, not relative Tool change T2 ; Tool change to tool 2 This will do a Layer change in Lcam to Layer 2
