Modern CNC systems are designed with the function of machining arbitrary parametric curves to save massive data communication between CAD/CAM and CNC systems and improve their machining quality. Although available CNC interpolators for parametric curves generally achieve contouring position accuracy

โฆ Synopsis
The paper presents a comparative study of linear and parametric interpolators used for command generation during CNC machining. For many decades, linear interpolators have been used in NC machines for command generation. Recently, a parametric interpolator has been developed that is designed for command generation for parametric curves (or surfaces). Two algorithms for the online implementation of this parametric interpolator are introduced. The comparison is mainly based on memory size, feedrate fluctuation and CPU time. Other considerations include tracking errors and jerk magnitude. Results show that the parametric interpolator is favourable in the machining of free-form geometry in terms of high speed and tight tolerancing.

Parametric interpolation has many advantages over linear interpolation in machining curves. Real time parametric interpolation research so far has addressed achieving a uniform feed rate, confined chord errors and jerk limited trajectory planning.

The paper presents a method of interpolating a set of discrete data points to form a composite quintic spline for application in precision machining. Precision machining requires tight machining tolerance, i.e. the preselected data points on the original curve are approximately evenly distributed ac
