Rapid traverse motion

Rapid traverse is used for the quickest possible repositioning of the tool to

the contour element or, for instance, for moving the tool to the tool chang-

ing position.

The highest possible speed along a straight line that the machine is capa-

ble of attaining is used, however, no machining is possible here. Hence the

control unit does not require a value input under the address "F".

Repositioning with rapid traverse can be programmed to take place in sev-

eral axes simultaneously.

Programming example:

N10 T1 ; End mill

N30 G00 X200 Y80 Z2 D1

The programming example above repositions the tool from point P1 to the
