3.4.3 Spiral interpolation (G02, G03)
An increment or decrement per rotation is specified for the circular interpolation command to
perform spiral interpolation.
Command format
X-Y plane:
{G17}G02X_Y_I_J_Q_L_F_;
{G17}G03X_Y_I_J_Q_L_F_;
Z-Y plane:
{G18}G02Z_X_K_I_Q_L_F_;
{G18}G03Z_X_K_I_Q_L_F_;
Y-Z plane:
{G19}G02Y_Z_J_K_Q_L_F_;
{G19}G03Y_Z_J_K_Q_L_F_;
G02 : Clockwise cutting direction
G03 : Counterclockwise cutting direction
XYZ : Coordinates of end point
L : Number of rotations (positive value, decimal numbers are rounded up to the nearest
whole number). Add a decimal point, rounded off.
Example: Set "L6" for five and 1/4 rotations (5.25 rotations).
Q : Increment or decrement in radius per rotation
Setting a positive value increases the radius for each rotation.
Setting a negative value decreases the radius for each rotation.
IJK : Vector (distance and direction) from the start point to the center (the same as
circular interpolation)
F : Cutting speed
(Note)
Either L (number of rotations) or Q (increment/decrement in radius) can be omitted.
If there is a discrepancy between "L" and "Q" when used together, "Q" is used.
