11.5.2 Linear Interpolation and Circular Interpolation

The GM1 controller supports linear interpolation, circular interpolation, and helical interpolation
as interpolation controls.
■
Linear interpolation
Linear interpolation can be used for two axes or three axes.
■
Circular interpolation
Circular interpolation can be used for two axes and each axis moves along to the locus of a
circular arc.
For circular arcs, specify a center point or the radius of the circular arc.
■
Helical interpolation
Helical interpolation can be used for three axes. While performing circular interpolation, helical
interpolation allows each axis to move in parallel with the central axis of the circular arc so that
they can achieve helical motion.
