Abstract

Modern CNC systems are designed with the function of machining arbitrary parametric curves to save massive data communication between CAD/CAM and CNC systems and improve their machining quality. Although available CNC interpolators for parametric curves generally achieve contouring position accuracy, the specified feedrate, which dominates the quality of the machining processes, is not guaranteed during motion. Recently, some approximation results concerning motion speed have been reported [Shpitalni M, Koren Y, Lo CC. Computer-Aided Design 1994;26(11):832–838; Bedi S, Ali I, Quan N. Trans ASME J Engng Industry 1993;115:329–336; Chou JJ, Yang DCH. Trans. ASME J Engng Industry 1991;113:305–310; Chou JJ, Yang DCH. Trans ASME J Engng Industry 1992;114:15–22]. In this paper, by deriving a compensatory parameter, the proposed interpolation algorithm has significantly improved curve speed accuracy. In real applications, the proposed algorithm results in: (1) constant speed; and (2) specified acceleration and deceleration (ACC/DEC) to meet the feedrate commands. The motion accuracy and feasibility of the present interpolator have been verified with a provided non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) example.
