Conventionally used linear or circular interpolators are undesirable for the precision machining of 3D free-form surfaces for the following reasons: the transmission errors due to the huge number of point data, discontinuity of curve segmentation, and unsmooth motion speed. In this regard, modern CNC machine tools are designed with a function for machining arbitrary para-metric curves. However, these systems do not consider controlling feedrate adaptively, which dominates the quality of the machining process. This paper proposes a NURBS interpolator based on the adaptive feedrate control for the constant material removal rate. This is accomplished by varying feedrate using the curvature of a surface. The curvature-compensated feedrate system has important potential applications in ensuring part accuracy and protecting the cutting tool. The simulated and experimental results. show it is applicable to real machining. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
