CNC M-Codes

M-Codes are used to signal an action from a miscellaneous group of commands.

M-Codes control the overall machine, causing it to stop, start, turn on coolant, etc. Whereas other codes pertain to the path traversed by cutting tools. Different machine tools may use the same code to perform different functions; even machines that use the same CNC control. [Read more... →]

CNC G-Codes

G-Code, or preparatory code or function, are functions in the Numerical control programming language. The G-codes are the codes that position the tool and do the actual work, as opposed to M-codes, that manages the machine; T for tool-related codes. S and F are tool-Speed and tool-Feed, and finally D-codes for tool compensation.

The programming language of Numerical Control (NC) is sometimes informally called G-code. But in actuality, G-codes are only a part of the NC-programming language that controls NC and CNC machine tools. The term Numerical Control was coined at the MIT Servomechanisms Laboratory, and several versions of NC were and are still developed independently by CNC-machine manufacturers.

The main standardized version used in the United States was settled by the Electronic Industries Alliance in the early 1960s. A final revision was approved in February 1980 as RS274D. In Europe, the ISO standard DIN 66025 is often used instead. [Read more... →]

Site Code

You may have noticed the “site code” on the right sidebar of this website. This is a QR Code.

A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) consisting of black and white square modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern and was created in 1994 by Denso-Wave, a Japanese corporation. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes.

Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR Codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging). QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards or just about any object that a user might need information about.

If you have a camera phone equipped with the correct reader software you can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phone’s browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL or call a phone number. [Read more... →]
