Abstract :
A software interpolator which is comprised of linear and circular interpolations is compared with its hardware counterpart and with other circular interpolation methods. The software interpolator and the feed-rate control are contained in the numerical control (NC) program of a computer numerical control (CNC) system and enable a contouring control of the machine tool in any required feed-rate.
