An Error Compensation Method for Rectangular Window Based on NURBS Reconstruction Theory
Aiming at the error compensation problem for rectangular window, this paper presents a method of compensation for rectangular window based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) reconstruction. In the method, the machining surface is digitally obtained by means of on-machine measurement. The measured data are divided into four regions and different error compensation schemes are used for different regions. The adaptive compensation of the machining error calculated based on NURBS reconstruction theory is achieved by modifying the coordinates of the tool point in the cutter location file. The automation of error calculation and compensation is implemented by software development based on Visual Studio 2012. At the end of the paper, a compensating tool path is emulated in VERICUT. The results show our method is feasible.
