Chapter 11 Motion Control Instructions
11-279
Example 4
The helical interpolation with the center of a circle specified
Current position (0, 0), axis parameters: default values, the G codes to be executed are:
N0 G17
N1 G3 X100 Y100 Z100 I50 J50 T2
Instruction explanation:
Since the variation of Z axis is 100, the motion path is helical curve and the projection on XY plane is a
full circle.
If there is no variation for Z axis, the motion path is the circular arc on XY plane with the center (50,50)
and the arc length of 2.5 times the circumference of a full circle.
