IGroup.MoveHelicalRelative method

Commands an interpolated helical movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point. The end point and the auxiliary point (the meaning of both points depends on the CircMode mode you select) are defined in the specified coordinate system relative to the starting point.

Parameters

circMode

Type: McCircMode

Specifies the meaning of the input signal AuxPoint.

auxPoint

Type: double[]

The array of positions for each dimension in the specified coordinate system. The maximum size is 64. These positions are defined relatively to the positions of the starting point.

endPoint

Type: double[]

The array of positions for each dimension in the specified coordinate system. The maximum size is 64. These positions are defined relatively to the positions of the starting point.

pathChoice

Type: McCircPathChoice

The choice of path.

depth

Type: double

The height of the helix.

pitch

Type: double

The height of one full helix turn.

velocity

Type: double

The maximum velocity of the path for the coordinate system in which the path is defined. Always positive. Not necessarily reached. [unit/second]

acceleration

Type: double

The maximum acceleration. Always positive. Not necessarily reached. The unit is determined by McProfileType. [unit/second²] or [second]

deceleration

Type: double

The maximum deceleration. Always positive. Not necessarily reached. The unit is determined by McProfileType. [unit/second²] or [second]

jerk

Type: double

The maximum jerk. Always positive. Not necessarily reached. The unit is determined by McProfileType. [unit/second³] or [second]

coordSystem

Type: McCoordSystem

A coordinate system.

bufferMode

Type: McBufferMode

Defines the chronological sequence of a method.

transitionMode

Type: McTransitionMode

Inserts a transition curve.

transitionParameter

Type: double[]

The additional parameter for the transition mode. If TransitionMode is set to mcNone, this parameter has no effect.

Return value

Type: IMoveHelicalCommand

Returns a state of a helical move.
