In precision machining of free-form surfaces at high speed, it is very important to ensure part accuracy and machining properties. To achieve this, this paper develops a guide spline-based feedrate scheduling method for machining along curvilinear paths with simultaneous constraints of chord errors and ac/deceleration. Based on two metrics about feedrate scheduling from the view of geometric and kinematic properties, the nonlinear relationships between the arc-length parameter and path parameter are subsequently established with a parameter correction spline. Then a guide spline associated with the modified curvature radius of paths is constructed to the schedule feedrate. It is shown that determining the largest safe feedrate with constant chord error can be reduced to the issue of changing the feedrate proportionally with the square root of path curvature radii and ensuring the safe feed acceleration can be converted into the issue of presetting the largest slope of guide spline. The simulation results prove that the proposed feedrate scheme has potential applications in the field of finish machining.
