How well do you know G-code?
G-code is the most widely used CNC programming language. G-code is also called preparatory code. This code tells a machine what kind of actions to perform, such as rapid movement, controlled feed movements, switch coordinate systems, set tool information, and more. G-code also communicates what kind of motion is desired. These motions include linear feed, circular fee, rapid positioning, and more.
Discuss with the interviewer your overall knowledge of G-code. Mention where you gained this knowledge and be sure to include how you will apply this knowledge to benefit them, should you be hired.
"I am very comfortable with G-code. I first learned G-code while earning my certification in CNC Programming. First, I took the basics, such as programming with G00 & G01 linear movement, G02, and G03 radius generating. Then, I learned FANUC G-Code and how to apply it for mill programming. Overall, I rank my G-code skills as intermediate, and I am eager to expand my knowledge by taking coursework in macro-programming."
