How to move in machine cords not at rapid speed?

Post by ashesman »

I want to add a manual tool change function. The operator will need to have their hand on the tool for the last part of the move into tool release position. G53 is a bit aggressive for this. Is there a way to go a bit slower?

You can set the feedrate by using the L word.

Per the manual... https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... -v4.14.pdf

12.20 G53 - Rapid Positioning in Machine Coordinates
G53 is a one shot code that performs a rapid traverse using machine coordinates. It does not affect the current movement mode (G0-G3) or coordinate system (G54-G59). G53 may only be used with absolute positioning (G90). Movement rate can be overridden using the L word.

Example:
G53 X15 Y4 Z0; move to 15,4,0 in machine coordinates
G53 X15 Y4 Z0 L100; move to 15,4,0 in machine coordinates at 100 units/minute
