Description and Smoothing of NC Motion Path Based on the Cubic Trigonometric Interpolation Spline

Abstract:

In order to better describe the complex motion path of NC machining and realize the smooth transition between path segments, a kind of cubic trigonometric interpolation spline curve was put forward based on a set of special basis function. The spline curve which with adjustable shape satisfies the C¹ continuity and it can accurately describe some common engineering curves such as straight line, circular arc and free curve. According to the given information of control points, different shapes of interpolation spline curve can be gotten by changing the adjustment coefficients. Through selecting proper control points and shape adjustment coefficients near the corner, insert the spline curve can realize the smooth transition at the corner of adjacent NC motion path segments, which can ensure the stability of motion path and the continuous of feed speed. Meanwhile, it also can reduce the impact to NC machine.
