G28 command returns
the current tool to the CNC machine zero position via an intermediate point.
G28 command (G-code) moves the
current tool at a fast traverse rate (G00).
G28 is not a modal
code.
The return to the CNC
machine zero position is intended primarily for the possibility of checking the
size and quality of the workpiece in some part of the CNC program.
