DESCRIPTION FOR M CODES:

M00 Program stop

Cycle operation is stopped after a block containing M00 is executed.

M01 Optional stop

Cycle operation is stopped after a block containing M01 is executed.
This code is only effective when the optional stop switch on the machine
control panel has been pressed.
Example: M01

M02 End of program

M02 Halt program execution: The spindle speed is turned off and the
CNC program is terminated.

M03 Starts spindle

An M03 instruction starts forward spindle motion. It requires a speed
with in the range 100 to 3000 R.P.M
Example: M03 S2200

M04 Reverse Spindle

An M04 instruction starts reverse spindle motion. It requires a speed
with in the range of 100 to 3000 R.P.M
Eg: M04 S2200.

M05 Stop Spindle

The tool changing operation should be done in the home position only.
Eg: M06 T1.

M08 Coolant ON
M08 turns the Coolant on.

M09 Coolant OFF

M09 turns the Coolant OFF

M10/11 Work clamp open/close

CNC program. This command is used at the end of program to stop the
program and to bring the cursor to first line of program to repeat the
program once again.

M38/39 Door Open/Close

M38 Opens the door.
M39 Close the door.

Input /Output Commands for FMS

M62/65 Auxiliary output on.
M62 Sets Auxiliary output 1 on.
M63 Sets Auxiliary output 2 on.

M64 Sets Auxiliary output 1 off.

M65 Sets Auxiliary output 2 off.

COMMANDS DESCRIPTION
These commands are available in the machine side
The robot inputs can be switched on by sending the output signal
from machine side to robot side as a input signal.

M66/67 Waiting for Auxiliary Input 1/2 on

M66 Waiting for Auxiliary Input 1 on.
M67 Waiting for Auxiliary Input 2 on.

M76/77 Waits for Auxiliary 1/2 ON

M76 Waits for Auxiliary Input 1 to become off.
M77 Waits for Auxiliary Input 2 to become off.

Note: M66/67/77
These M codes are available in the machine side. The machine side
Inputs can be switched on by transferring the output signal from robot side
to machine side as an input signal.
The machine Inputs can be switched on by transferring the high
signal, which comes from the Robot side. The machine inputs can be
switched off by transferring the low signal, which comes from the robot
side.

M98 Sub Program Call

M98 Causes another program to be executed. The p Value
specifies the program number and the no. of times to execute it.
The right most 4 digits are the program Number.
The digits to the left are number of repetition.

There can be up to 999 repetitions, If the value is omitted it is called

once.
Examples: M98 p12 and M98 p0010012 both both execute CNC program
12 once.

M99 Sub program Exit

Returns control to the program that called the current program.

If a p value is specified then execution begins from the block with

the same N number otherwise it is the from the block after the
subprogram call.
If an M99 is specified in the main program then the execution is from
the start of the program. This is called Looping or Nesting of one more
programs.
Example: M99
Mp10

Returns to the block following the call.

Returns to the block with N value 10.

DESCRIPTION OF G CODES

G00 Rapid Traverse or fast Traverse

A G00 causes the tool to move to specified position at the maximum
speed.
Example: G00 X20 Z1

G02 Linear Interpolation or slow traverse

A G02 cause Linear Motion to the position at the last specified feed
rate from the current position. The feed rate for the linear motion should be
Example: G01 X20 Z1 F180

G02 Clockwise Circular Interpolation

A G02 causes a clockwise arc is cut. If the negative then the Longer
Arc is cut
Example: G02 X30 Z-20 R15 F80

GO3 Counter Clockwise Circular Interpolation

G03 causes counter clockwise circular motion

G04 Dwell
A Dwell of up to 500 seconds can be programmed.
Example: G04 X10

This causes a delay in machine of 10 seconds. This can be used for

drilling cycle.
Example: G04 P1500
This causes a delay in machine of 1500 milliseconds.

G20 Imperial Units

All future instruction parameters will be taken as imperial values. That
is, they will specify inches.

G21 Metric Units

All future instruction parameters will be taken as metric valuse.That is
they will specify millimeters. By default metric units will be taken for part
programming.

G28 Go to Reference Point

A G28 causes a fast traverse to the specified position and then
machine datum.
Example: G28 U0 W0

G40 Cancel Tool Radius Compensation

G40 Switched off any tool radius compensation activated by a G41
OR G42.

G41 Compensation Right

G41 enable tool nose radius compensation to the right of the

programmed path.

G42 Compensation Left

G42 enable tool nose radius compensation to the left of the
programmed path.

G50 Co-Ordinate Setting

G50 has two uses.
A co-ordinate setting block has X,Z,U or W upon it.
A maximum spindle speed block dose not.

G50 Clamp Spindle

G50 sets the maximum spindle speed for constant surface speed
control. An X, Z, U or W prefix must not be on the same block will be
interpreted as a coordinate setting block.
Example: G50 S2000
G50 creates a new coordinate system in which the tools current
position is set to the specified coordinates. The new coordinates can be in
absolute or incremental form.
Example: G50 X0 Z0 and G50 U-40

G70 Finishing cycle

A G70 causes a range of blocks to be executed, then the control

passes to the block after the G70.This will be used after the completion of
the roughing cycle.
The P and Q values specify the N block numbers at the start and end of
the profile.
Example: G70 P20 Q50
P-First block of the cycle
Q-Last block the cycle

G98 Feed per Minute

G98 sets the feed per minute mode. This is the default.

G99 Feed per Revolution

G99 sets the feed per revolution of the spindle.
