6. INTERPOLATION FUNCTION
747
Helical interpolation B moves the tool helically. This interpolation can
be executed by specifying the circular interpolation command together
with up to four additional axes in AI contour control mode.
Basically, the command can be specified by adding two movement axes
to a standard helical interpolation command. Address F should be
followed by a tangential velocity, determined by also taking movement
along the linear axes into consideration.

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