The rapid movement speed in CNC machine tools refers to the maximum movement speed of the tool on each coordinate axis of the machine tool in the non-processing state, that is, outside the cutting process. This speed determines the machine tool's ability to quickly move to the next processing position when idling, no-load, or the tool is unloaded.

Simply put, the rapid traverse speed is the highest speed that the tool or workpiece can reach on each axis when the machine tool is not performing actual processing. This speed is set to achieve efficient workpiece positioning, tool replacement and other non-cutting actions during the machining process, thereby minimizing non-productive time and improving production efficiency.

Usually, the rapid movement speed of CNC machine tools is set by the CNC system through programming, and the operator can adjust it according to the specific processing needs and process requirements. During the processing process, the speed of rapid movement will directly affect the overall processing efficiency and production capacity.
