Abstract: In order to improve the smoothness of NURBS interpolation speed and solve the problem of the low accuracy of traditional interpolation parameter calculation methods, this paper proposes a NURBS interpolator with smooth feedrate scheduling and minimal feedrate fluctuation. The adaptive feedrate is obtained based on the constraints of chord error, normal acceleration and normal jerk.The curve is segmented according to the adaptive speed and the S-shaped acc/dec algorithm is used to smooth the speed curve. This paper improves the traditional S-shaped acc/dec planning method and makes a comprehensive planning for the adjacent sections meeting the merging conditions and adjusts the speed overrun area. Based on the second-order Runge-Kutta method, the initial increment value of the next interpolation point parameters is obtained and the backward difference method is used to simplify the calculation. The arc approximation method is used to obtain the compensation value of the parameter increment and finally the parameters of the next interpolation point are obtained. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the traditional method by simulation and experiment. The results show that the algorithm is effective.
