Feedrate Fluctuation Minimization for NURBS Tool Path Interpolation Based on Arc Length Compensation and Iteration by Xing Liu, Pengxin Yu, Haiduo Chen, Bihui Peng, Zhao Wang, Fusheng Liang

“…In the interpolation cycle, the position of the next interpolation point is required to be calculated in real-time to guide the action of the machining process. Due to the existence of the positioning error of the interpolation point, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the feedrate fluctuation, which may lead to dramatic decreases in machining quality and the driving capabilities’ saturation of each axis. …”
