COMMON G CODE, M CODE USED ON CNC MACHINING PROGRAM 

1. Programming instructions

1.Preparation function (G function)

The preparation function G code is used to specify the relative motion trajectory of the tool and the workpiece, the machine coordinate system, the coordinate plane, the tool compensation, the coordinate offset and other processing operations. Below is a list of G function codes commonly used in CNC machining.

2. Auxiliary function M code for Fanuc

Auxiliary function codes are used to instruct the connection and shutdown of auxiliary devices of CNC machine tools, such as spindle rotation/stop, cutting fluid opening/closing, chuck clamping/releasing, tool replacement, etc. Below is the list of M codes widely used in CNC machining

 

 

Code

Function

                   Description

M00

Program pause

When the block with M00 instruction is executed, the spindle rotation and cutting fluid will stop. Press the (Cycle Start) key again to continue executing the following block

M01

Program selection stop

The function is the same as M00, but only when the (select stop) key on the machine operation panel is in the "ON" state, M01 will be executed, otherwise it be executed after skipping

M02

End of program

In the last section of the program, after executing this instruction, the spindle stops, the cutting fluid is closed, and the automatic operation stops, and the machine is in the reset state

M30

End of program

Also placed in the last section of the program, in addition to executing the content of M02, it also returns to the first section of the program to prepare for the next workpiece processing

M03

Spindle positive rotation

Spindle rotates in the clockwise direction

M04

Spindle negative rotation

Spindle rotates on the counter clock wise direction

M05

Spindle stop

Spindle stops rotating

M06

Tool changing

On automatic tool changing

M08

Cutting liquid on

 

M09

Cutting liquid off

 

M98

Subroutine invoking

For subroutine

M99

End of subroutine

End of subroutine and return to the main program
