Spiral Drill Shape Pattern

The spiral drill pattern moves the laser beam in a spiral curve at each drilling location, in the order they have been defined. The pattern can be configured to scan clockwise or anti clockwise, define a pitch and specify a start circle and an end circle with number of turns to scan.

All the jumps and drills are velocity controlled so the pattern permits a higher accuracy drilling with greater repeatability.
