11.2 G-Code and M-Code Definitions
G-Code Description Label
G53 Shifts the location of Absolute Zero to a preset location. The
preset location is the specified fixture offset, measured from
Machine Home and stored in the Fixture Offsets Table.
Fixture Offset
G59 Use to program modal corner rounding or chamfering. Modal Radius/Chamfer
G60 Use to cancel the program modal corner rounding or chamfering. Cancel Modal Radius or Chamfer
G61 Contouring Mode OFF. Modal Exact Stop Check. Activates
In-Position Mode.
Exact Stop Mode
G64 Exact Stop Mode OFF. Modal Contouring Mode. De-activates
In-Position Mode.
Contouring Mode
G65 (Non-Modal) Used in a program to call a stored macro. Macros can
be entered after the main program (Sub Program) or in another file
(must use file inclusion to call to active program). In non-modal
macro (G67) call, the variables can be changed at each call.
Macro Call, Single
G66 Used in a program to call a macro. Macros can be entered after
the main program (Sub Program) or in another file (must use file
inclusion to call to active program). In Modal macro (G66) call, the
variables always contain the same values.
Macro Call, Modal
G67 Cancels a G66 Modal Macro call. Cancel Modal Macro
G68 Axis rotation is modal and remains active until canceled. Rotation (Axis)
G70 Sets 3500i to Inch measurements. † Inch
G71 Sets 3500i to MM measurements. † MM
G72 Use Axis Scaling to enlarge or reduce patterns commanded by the
program.
Scaling
G73 Use the draft angle pocket cycle (G73) to machine a draft angle on
a pocket.
Draft Angle Pocket Cycle
G75 Frame pocket cycle (G75) mills a frame or trough around an island
of material.
Frame Pocket Cycle
G76 Use the hole mill cycle (G76) to machine through holes or
counter-bores.
Hole Mill Cycle
G77 Use the circular pocket cycle (G77) to mill round pockets. Circular Pocket Cycle
G78 Use the rectangular pocket cycle (G78) to mill square or
rectangular pockets.
Rectangular Pocket Cycle
G79 Use the automatic drill bolt hole cycle (G79) to drill a partial or full
bolt circle.
