G Codes (Motion Control Codes)

G codes are primarily responsible for controlling the machine’s movements and
defining the tool’s path during machining operations. They dictate the positioning,
interpolation, and other actions involved in creating the desired part.

Common G Codes:

 **G00 (Rapid Positioning):** Moves the tool to the specified coordinates at


the maximum speed without regard for tool path accuracy.

 G01 (Linear Interpolation): Moves the tool along a straight line between two
points at a specified feed rate.

 G02/G03 (Circular Interpolation): Moves the tool along a circular path,


clockwise (G02) or counterclockwise (G03), around a defined center point.

 G04 (Dwell): Pauses the tool at a specified location for a given period.

 G28 (Return to Home): Returns the tool to its designated home position,
typically used for reference and tool changes.

 G90/G91 (Coordinate System): Sets the coordinate system for


programming, either absolute (G90) or incremental (G91) relative to the
previous position.

M Codes (Auxiliary Function Codes)


M codes handle the auxiliary functions of the CNC machine, controlling elements
like spindle rotation, coolant, and program execution. They complement the motion
control provided by G codes.

Common M Codes:

 M00 (Program Stop – Manual): Halts the program execution, requiring


manual intervention to resume.

 M01 (Program Stop – Optional): Pauses the program, allowing an optional


stop or continue signal.

 M02 (Program End): Ends the program execution and resets the machine
to a defined state.

 M03/M04 (Spindle On – Clockwise/Counterclockwise): Starts the spindle


rotation in the specified direction.

 M05 (Spindle Stop): Turns off the spindle rotation.

 M06 (Tool Change): Initiates a tool change procedure, pausing the program
to allow tool replacement.

Application of G and M Codes


The combination of G and M codes forms the foundation for CNC programming. By
carefully selecting and sequencing these codes, operators can instruct the
machine to perform a wide range of machining operations, including:

 Turning: Creating cylindrical parts with varying diameters, lengths, and


features using G01, G02, G03, and G04 codes along with M03/M04 for
spindle control.

 Milling: Shaping flat or contoured workpieces using G01, G02, and G03
codes for toolpath definition and M03/M04 for spindle control.

 Drilling: Creating holes of precise diameters and depths using G00 for rapid
positioning, G01 for controlled feed, and M03/M04 for spindle control.

 Boring: Enlarging existing holes or creating new ones with high precision
using G01, G02, and G03 codes for toolpath control and M03/M04 for
spindle control.

Learning G and M Codes

Effectively utilizing G and M codes requires a combination of theoretical knowledge


and practical experience. Here are some effective learning strategies:

 Refer to the Machine Manual:The manual provides detailed explanations


and specific codes for the particular CNC machine being used.

 Explore Online Resources: Numerous websites, tutorials, and forums offer


comprehensive information and examples of G and M code usage.
 Practice with Simple Programs: Starts by writing and running basic
programs to understand the syntax and effects of individual codes.

 Analyze Existing Programs: Study real-world CNC programs to observe how


G and M codes are combined to achieve complex machining tasks.

 Enroll in CNC Programming Courses: Consider taking formal courses or


workshops to gain structured guidance and hands-on training.
