6.15 HELICAL INTERPOLATION B
Overview
The helical interpolation B function differs from the helical
interpolation function just in that circular interpolation and a
movement on four axes outside the specified plane can be
simultaneously performed.

Tool path
The feedrate equals the tangential velocity determined by also
taking movement along the linear axes into consideration.

# 5 HTG The feedrate for helical interpolation/helical involute
interpolation/three-dimensional circular interpolation is:
0: Specified using the feedrate along the tangent to an arc/involute
curve/three-dimensional arc
1: Specified using the feedrate along axes including a linear axis
(specified axes other than the circular interpolation axis in the
case of three-dimensional circular interpolation)

PS0232 TOO MANY HELICAL AXIS
COMMAND
Three or more axes were specified as helical axes in the helical
interpolation mode. Five or more axes were specified as helical
axes in the helical interpolation B mode.
