8. 3-axis helical interpolation: Applicable to 20M model only. 3-axis helical interpolation is an advanced function to
2-axis arc interpolation. When a 3
rd
axis is added to arc interpolation, a helical interpolation can be performed, i.e.
if the vertical value on Z axis is set to 0, the helical interpolation will simply perform 2-axis arc interpolation.
9. The figure below illustrates the moving paths of the helical interpolation with and without the value on Z-axis.
