In the cylindrical interpolation mode, the axis maps
the axis of rotation during the circular
interpolation.The axes are X, Y, Z and perform the
circular interpolation by mapping the axis of rotation
to the selected axis.
For example, if the axis of rotation is mapped to the
X axis under the state of the XY plane (G17), the
width becomes the axis of rotation and the height
becomes Y axis. When ZX (G18) is selected as the
plane, the width becomes the Z axis and the height
becomes the axis of rotation. However, if you set the
plane to YZ (G19), you cannot perform the circular
interpolation on the commanded axis of rotation.
