- Abstract
In five-axis machining, the forward step (kinematics) error due to nonlinearity of the machine kinematics can significantly affect the quality of the machined surfaces. In a simple approach, kinematics error between two CC points can be reduced to within a prescribed tolerance by inserting enough points. However, this method is often inefficient, especially for high speed milling where a tool path containing a large number of points can slow down the milling process and is, therefore, undesirable. A technique of angle variation presented in Chap. 6 can also be used to minimize the kinematics error without inserting additional points. The error after minimization using this angle adjustment method can still, however, exceed the prescribed tolerance and more points or another minimization techniques are required.
