This paper deals with the real-time NURBS interpolation method in which the interpolation error between the ideal curve and the interpolated curve is compensated within the machine basic length unit (BLU). Parametric curve interpolation methods are based on the Taylor series expansion of curve parameters and an approximation. This approach enables effective feed command generation following the target curve. However, the interpolation error caused by the curve segmentation cannot be controlled.
In this research, a two-stage interpolation method that compensates for interpolation errors within machine BLU is proposed. The interpolation result was filtered by an acceleration/jerk limitation equation. Through this two-stage interpolation, both the interpolation error condition and the motion dynamics can be satisfied.
Using computer simulations in which interpolation results are revaluated by a numerical iteration method, it is shown that the two-stage interpolation algorithm can interpolate target curves precisely with geometric and dynamic contentment. The proposed algorithm was implemented in the CNC simulator system and an experimental run was conducted to identify the real-time adaptation.
