Study on Five-Axis NURBS Path Generation Method and Direct-Interpolation for CNC System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this article, a new method with Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) technology is presented and realized in a location and federate controlling system. In the method, the tool paths and the cutter locations (CL) were represented into NURBS curves based on the same knot vector. The above CL data was firstly calculated and then transformed to five motion commands of five axes of machine through the real-time post-procession algorithm. The acceleration/deceleration controlling method is also presented to avoid the impact of machine. The proposed 5-axis spline interpolation method is realized and the experimental result of machining shows that the method is valid.
