G30 code

The G30 command sends the machine to a reference position. This position is usually set up in either the machine parameters, or manually. It is useful for tool changes on a turning center where you want the machine to return to a safe position, but not necessarily all the way to home (G28). Be careful when using G30 X0 Y0 Z0 ( same with G28). On many machine controls, the XYZ position in the code is an intermediate point that the machine goes "THROUGH" on its way to home (G28) or the reference position (G30). It is not the location of the end of the move. a G30 U0 V0 W0 will home the XYZ axes without making any intermediate move (it moves incrementally a zero distance before moving to the reference or home). Many Fanuc controls on turning centers will read G28 X0 or G30 X0 and will send the tool to the center of the part before moving to the home or reference position. Same problem if you set Z=0 on the face of the chuck on a turning center, or the bottom of the part on a mill. The tool will crash through the part before moving to its home or reference position. HTH. (I waited until someone else asked, and now I know what HTH means. But what does TEH mean???)
