Homing Z-axis

#1

Is there a command to home the Z-axis without moving X or Y axes?

#2

Not to home but to probe individual axes.
The command is G38.2 + code for search distance & speed.

You want to home or just raise to home position?

I just want to raise it to the top without moving in X or Y directions.

G53 G0 Z-5

Moves the Z to 5mm below the limit switch off you work in mm.

To be safe:
G21 ;mm mode
G90 ;absolute mode
G53 G0 Z-5
