Constant surface speed control ON

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

This function controls automatically the spindle speed as the coordinates are changed during cutting in diametral direction so as to execute cutting by keeping constant the relative speed between tool tip and workpiece. The code G92 can be used to set the maximum and minimum spindle speeds at addresses S and Q, respectively.

G96 is modal (group 17) — it stays in effect until another code of the same group replaces it.

Initial state: a parameter can select G96 as the initial modal condition — what your machine wakes up in depends on that setting.
