To exactly execute a sharp corner in the toolpath, the feedrate of a CNC machine must instantaneously drop to zero at that point. This constraint is problematic in the context of high–speed machining, since it incurs very high deceleration/acceleration rates near sharp corners, that increase the total machining time, and may incur significant path deviations (contour errors) at these points. A strategy for negotiating sharp corners in high–speed machining is proposed herein, based upon a priori toolpath/feedrate modifications in their vicinity. Each corner is smoothed by replacing a subset of the path that contains it with a conic “splice” segment, deviating from the exact corner by no more than a prescribed tolerance ǫ, along which the square of the feedrate is specified as a Bernstein–form polynomial. Determining the fastest traversal of the conic segments under known axis acceleration bounds can then be formulated as a constrained optimization problem, and by exploiting some well–known properties of Bernstein–form polynomials this can be approximated by a simple linear programming task. Some computed examples are presented to illustrate the implementation and performance of the high–speed cornering strategy.
