Smooth kinematic profiles are very important for high speed curve machining. During parametric interpolation, simple adaptive feedrate with confined contour error may cause acceleration and jerk to fluctuate acutely. To avoid the undesirable influence, an interpolation algorithm for parametric curves with smooth kinematic profiles is presented. The interpolator consists of three parts, look-ahead module, feedrate planning module and interpolation module. In look-ahead module, a pre-interpolator is designed to produce the required feedrate profile considering chord error. By feedrate planning, a smooth feedrate profile with confined acceleration and jerk is schemed based on bell-shape ACC/DEC profile by feedrate profile matching and feedrate profile synthesis. Then the parametric curve can be interpolated with the planned feedrate in interpolation module. Simulation results have been also provided to illustrate that the proposed interpolator can generate smooth kinematic profiles required for the high tracking accuracy at high speed with confined chord error, acceleration and jerk, and can be used for high speed and precision curve machining.

In order to improve the stability of feed movement in high speed CNC system, the feedrate planning algorithm based on piece-wise polynomial function was proposed. The flexible transition of feedrate was realized through maintaining linear continuous jerk. The principle of the proposed algorithm was introduced and the method to generate smooth motion profile based on the proposed algorithm was presented. The rapidity, stability and tracking accuracy of the feedrate planning algorithm to linearity, S curve and the proposed one were analyzed. The proposed algorithm is simple and it can be applied in acceleration/deceleration before interpolation in high speed feed movement to improve the stability of it. The proposed algorithm was applied in multi-contour high speed processing and the result indicated that it could improve the stability of large-scale parts motion.

The traditional line or arc interpolation function treats small line segments separately and conducts feedrate planning within each of them. The rather small lengths of the segments result in low machining efficiency, and the frequent acceleration and deceleration also reduce the lifetime of the motor. To solve these problems, a look-ahead feedrate planning model for the continuous small lines contour (CSLC) is proposed in this paper to implement the high speed interpolating. The feedrate planning is elaborated from the aspects of the curvature characteristic of the contour, the turning feedrate, and the federate optimization between the adjacent segments. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently improve the machining efficiency.

Various methods for parametric interpolation of NURBS curves have been proposed in the past. However, the errors caused by the approximate nature of the NURBS interpolator were rarely taken into account. This paper proposes an integrated look-ahead algorithm for parametric interpolation along NURBS curves. The algorithm interpolates the sharp corners on the curve with the Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) interpolation. This will minimize the geometric and interpolator approximation errors simultaneously. The algorithm consists of four different modules: a sharp corner detection module, a PH construction module, a jerk-limited module, and a dynamics module. Simulations are performed to show correctness of the proposed algorithm. Experiments on an X-Y table confirm that the developed method improves tracking and contour accuracies significantly when compared to previously proposed adaptive-feedrate and curvature-feedrate algorithms.

The part’s precision-machined quality of NC machining is influenced by the chord error greatly during precision machining. The confined chord error Algorithm for Machining Complex Parametric Curve is proposed for the complexity of the chord error. The information of the arc length error is utilized to control the chord error of the interpolated point indirectly. The arc length error of interpolated point is computed by Simpson expressions, the information of coordinate and the first order derivative of interpolated point is computed by the interpolation algorithm, so the computed difficulty is not increased greatly. The computed error of the algorithm is discussed and the simulation example of NURBS curve proves that the destined precision of the chord error can be satisfied by this algorithm.

NC tool paths of digital CAD models are currently generated as a set of discrete data points. The CNC interpolator must convert these points into continuous machine tool axis motions. In order to achieve high-speed and high-accuracy machining, the development of a real-time interpolation algorithm is really indispensable, which can deal with a large number of short blocks and still maintain smooth interpolation with an optimal speed. In this paper, a real-time local cubic B-spline interpolator with look-ahead scheme is proposed for consecutive micro-line blocks interpolation. First, the consecutive micro-line blocks that satisfy the bi-chord error constraints are fitted into a C1 continuous cubic B-spline curve. Second, machining dynamics and tool path contour constrains are taken into consideration. Third, local cubic B-spline interpolator with an optimal look-ahead scheme is proposed to generate the optimal speed profile. Simulation and experiment are performed in real-time environment to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with the conventional interpolation algorithm, the proposed algorithm reduces the machining time by 70%.

NURBS interpolation has many advantages over the traditional linear or circular interpolation in high-speed machining. The existing work in this regard focuses on adaptive feed interpolation considering the chord error constraints and tangent acceleration limits. However, regardless of the dynamic characteristics of individual axis, performance will inevitably suffer when the system is called upon to execute a complex trajectory beyond the range of its capabilities. The intent of the present work is to provide an optimal feed interpolation method respecting both the chord error constraint and the drive constraint of each axis. A look-ahead scheme is applied with a moving window to augment the calculation efficiency for real-time application. Simulations are performed to verify the resulting feedrate, acc/dec profiles and the real-time performance of the proposed interpolator.

In this paper, an integrated acceleration/deceleration with dynamics interpolation scheme is proposed to confine the maximum contour error at the junction of linear junction. The dynamic contour error equation is derived analytically and then it is utilized for the interpolation design. Based on the derived formulations which could predict the command and dynamic errors, the advanced interpolation design could adjust the connecting velocity of the two blocks to confine the overall contour errors under the given tolerance. Simulation results validate the proposed algorithm can achieve higher accurate trajectory as compared to the other interpolation algorithm proposed in the past.
