摘要
G01 code generated by a computer-aided manufacture （CAM） system is the most common form of tool trajeclory in computer numerical control （CNC） machining. A tool path composed of short line segments has discontinuous tangenc t and curvature, generating large fluctuations of feedrate and acceleration, which in turn produces vibration in a machine tool. To obtain a smooth tool path, many methods on tool-path smoothing have been developed. However, the shortcomings i：1 these methods exist when they are employed in a CNC system. It is difficult to simultaneously to guarantee the following requirements of CNC machining： （1） chord error should be rigidly constrained; （2） G01 points should be interpolated; （3） cur,,ature should be continuous （G2）; （4） machining should be applicable to spatial cases; （5） real-time performance of computaEion is required.Based on these various requirements, this study proposes an interpolation scheme using CUDlC t^ezler curves anu mciuucb illl adjustment strategy to eliminate deficiencies in the tool path. The tool path generated is G2, chord-elror-constrained, G01-point-interpolated, loop-free, and optimized for both stretch and jerk energy. The method is applicable ：o 3D cases and involves only simple algebraic computations. Thus, the algorithm can be applied to real-time CNC machining. A simulation is conducted to validate the efficiency of the algorithm. In addition, an experiment reveals its advantage over Hermite interpola- tion in surface quality and machining efficiency.
