Program Examples:Helical Interpolation
Introduction
This page will demonstrate the usage of CIRCLE command to build helix. This example is based on the previous example of Cartesian XYZ group.
Program
First of all attach the group and enable the motors:
Attach En=1
Go to initial position:
Moves #{50,0,0} Delay 10 Sleep 100
First helix from X=50,Y=0,Z=0 up to x=50, Y=100, Z=100 it means helix around line at X=50,Y=50 of 540 degrees:
Circle Angle = -(360+180) CircleCenter=#{50,50,100} <pre> Move parallel to X axis for 100mm: <pre> Moves #{150,100,100}
Second helix from X=150,Y=100,Z=100 down to x=150, Y=0, Z=0 it means helix around line at X=150,Y=50 of 540 degrees:
Circle Angle = -(360+180) CircleCenter=#{150,50,0}
Back to the initial position, and detach from the program:
Moves #{50,0,0} Detach
