Abstract
A typical interpolation strategy for line segments consists of a transition scheme, a Look-ahead ACC/DEC scheduling, and an interpolation algorithm. In these three parts, the main computation occurs in the first and second part. Some research work has been carried out to decrease the computation in the previous literatures, but these methods occupy a lot of computing resources for the optimization process during the calculation of transition curve parameters and feed rates. Consequently, the computational efficiency of interpolation strategy is greatly reduced. To deal with the issue, a real-time interpolation strategy is proposed in this paper. In the transition scheme, a Bézier curve is utilized to smooth the line segments. Based on the relationship among the approximation error, the approximation radius, and the transition curve, the curve can be directly generated when the approximation error is given. In the ACC/DEC scheduling, a 3-segment feed rate profile with jerk continuity is constructed. Meanwhile, a Look-ahead planning based on Backward Scanning and Forward Revision (BSFR) algorithm is utilized to eliminate redundant computation. Compared with Zhao’s and Shi’s strategy, the proposed strategy has the merits of C2 and G2 continuity for the tool path, jerk continuity for the tool movement, and distinguished real-time performance for interpolation. The experiments of 3D pentagram and 2D butterfly are carried out with different strategies and their results demonstrate that the interpolation efficiency can be greatly improved with the proposed strategy.
