Abstract
In this paper, an interpolation method along spline curves is proposed to smooth cutter location source data called CLS data. 3rd-order and 5th-order spline curves are easily implemented for interpolation. Then, a post processor is designed for an industrial robot FANUC R2000iC to produce FANUC robotic program called LS format from CLS data including linear- and circular arc-interpolated entities. The post processor works as a straightforward and cooperative interface between CAD/CAM systems and the industrial robot, so that a desirable teaching-less operation environment is realized. The validity and usefulness of the proposed methods are evaluated through simulations on FANUC RoboGuide and an actual machining experiment with the robot.
