I. INTRODUCE ABOUT G CODE?

1. Define
G-code (also RS-274), which has many variants, is the common name for the
most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) programming language. It is
used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools.
G-code is a language in which people tell computerized machine tools how to
make something. The "how" is defined by G-code instructions provided to a
machine controller (industrial computer) that tells the motors where to move, how
fast to move, and what path to follow. The two most common situations are that,
within a machine tool such as a lathe or mill, a cutting tool is moved according to
these instructions through a toolpath cutting away material to leave only the
finished workpiece and/or, an unfinished workpiece is precisely positioned in any
of up to nine axes[1] around the three dimensions relative to a toolpath and, either or
both can move relative to each other. The same concept also extends to noncutting
tools such as forming or burnishing tools, photoplotting, additive methods such
as 3D printing, and measuring instruments.
2. FUNCTION
G-codes, also called preparatory codes, are any word in a CNC program that
begins with the letter G. Generally it is a code telling the machine tool what type of
action to perform, such as:

 Rapid movement (transport the tool as quickly as possible in between cuts)

 Controlled feed in a straight line or arc
 Series of controlled feed movements that would result in a hole being bored,
a workpiece cut (routed) to a specific dimension, or a profile (contour) shape
added to the edge of a workpiece
 Set tool information such as offset
 Switch coordinate systems
There are other codes; the type codes can be thought of like registers in a
computer.
It has been pointed out over the years that the term "G-code" is imprecise
because "G" is only one of many letter addresses in the complete language. It
comes from the literal sense of the term, referring to one letter address and to the
specific codes that can be formed with it (for example, G00, G01, G28), but every
letter of the English alphabet is used somewhere in the language. Nevertheless, "G-
code" is metonymically established as the common name of the language.

III. SOME EXAMPLE USING COMMAND G-CODE

1. The command to move in a straight line G0 & G1.

Note how to write, syntax ...
Gx is required, where x is between 0 (or 00) and 99.
[x] the [] symbol denotes an optional parameter that may or may not be.
G0 - fast move command.
Is the command to move straight & fast in the coordinates X, Y, Z or both A,
B, C. Move at the maximum speed that the machine can respond. Often used to
quickly move between the machining areas.

Syntax: G0 [X] [Y] [Z] [A] [B] [C]

Example: G0 X0.5 Y1.3 Z10
Meaning: Move quickly to X 0.5, Y 1.3, Z 10 coordinates.
Note: Be carefully tool breakage groove.
 G1 - move command with speed parameter.
A command to move straight at a controlled speed according to the attached
parameter, or the speed parameter specified before. Often used in the machining
process.

Syntax: G0 [X] [Y] [Z] [A] [B] [C] [F] where F is the speed parameter.
Example: G0 X0.5 Y1.3 Z10 F1000
Meaning: Move to the coordinates X 0.5, Y 1.3, Z 10 at a speed of 1000 units /
minute.
2.Command to move in the arc G2 & G3.
* Note how to write, syntax ...
Gx is required, where x is between 0 (or 00) and 99.
[x] the [] symbol denotes an optional parameter that may or may not be.
G2 - command to move forward (CW)

For example, according to the image above:

F1000

G17

G1 X1 Y2

G2 X2 Y1 I1 J1
 These two commands have the same syntax and usage but quite complicated
because it is necessary to define the correct machining plane as XY, XZ or YZ. For
each machining plane the corresponding parameter is also different.

3.G17, G18, G19 command specifies the machining plane.

Instructions G17, G18, G19 specify the machining planes xOy, xOz and yOz,
respectively.
