Convert All Rapids to Feedmoves at Highfeed

Function

Convert all rapid moves into linear feedrate moves (for example G00 => G01)

Checked

Convert rapids to feeds

UnChecked

Do not convert rapids to feeds (default)

Format Table Ref.

N/A

Token Dependant

Yes (Rapid Traverse)

Token Name

RAPIDGCODE

Canned cycles that include rapid traverse for positioning (for example, drilling cycle G81) will not be affected. Only moves that use the Rapid Traverse G-Code will be converted.

 

Highfeed (/min.)

The feedrate to be applied to converted rapid moves.

Thus, for example, if Highfeed is 5000 and Convert All Rapids to Feedmoves at Highfeed is checked:

 

Original Rapid move

Converted to Feedmove

G00X10.0Y5.76

G01X10.0Y5.76F5000

 

The units of Highfeed are the same as the machine’s units (see the Machine Parameters tab), that is, mm/min or inch/min, and will be automatically converted to the NC program units as required.

 

Convert to Feedmoves if less than ...

Only small moves of less than the specified amount are to be converted to feed moves.

Highfeed is used as the feedrate. The actual distance travelled as a 3D distance is used to test against the value specified.
