G60
One-way positioning
Machine-specific. This G-code reference is specific to the Mazak INTEGREX e-670H / e-670H-S with the MAZATROL SmoothX control (EIA/ISO programming manual H747PB0030E). G-code availability depends on fitted options, and groups and behaviour differ between Mazak models and control generations — verify against the manual for your own machine before programming with any code.
What it does
Highly accurate positioning free from any backlash error can be performed when the axis movement is controled by the G60 command so that the final access always takes place in one determined direction. This command moves (interpolates) a tool from the current position to the ending point specified by a coordinate word, at the feed rate specified with address F. The specified feed rate acts here as the linear velocity relative to the direction of movement of the tool center.
G60 is one-shot (group 00) — it is valid only in the block where it is entered.
