G28, G28.1: Return to a Predetermined Position

Last modified by writer on 2023/02/09 17:46

The G28 command should only be used when homing has been performed and the desired position has been saved with the G28.1 command.

The G28 command uses the values stored in memory as the coordinates X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W of the endpoint to move. Parameter values are absolute machine coordinates. Command G28 performs rapid linear motion.

The G28 axes command performs rapid linear movement to the position defined by axes, taking into account all offsets, and then performs rapid linear movement for the axes to the absolute position specified by the values stored in memory. Axes not specified in axes will not move.

The G28.1 command stores the current absolute position in memory.

G28 example line:
G28 Z2.5 (rapid movement to Z2.5, then to the position loaded by the G28 command)
