Shape of the helix
The table below illustrates in which way the shape of the helix is
determined by the work direction, direction of rotation and radius
compensation.

Programming a helix
Always enter the same algebraic sign for the direction of
rotation DR and the incremental total angle IPA. The tool
may otherwise move in a wrong path and damage the
contour.
For the total angle IPA, you can enter a value from
–5400° to +5400°. If the thread has of more than 15
revolutions, program the helix in a program section
repeat (see section 9.3 ”Program Section Repeats” and
”Example: HELIX” later in this chapter).
ú Polar coordinates angle: Enter the total angle of tool
traverse along the helix in incremental dimensions.
After entering the angle, identify the tool axis with
an axis selection key.
ú Enter the coordinate for the height of the helix in
incremental dimensions.
ú Direction of rotation DR
Clockwise helix: DR–
Counterclockwise helix: DR+
ú Radius compensation RL/RR/R0
Enter the radius compensation according to the table
above.
