<p>A spline interpolation motion control system and method that can automatically determine where sharp corners and flat sections were intended in a part program. In one embodiment, based upon the length ratio of two consecutive spans, the system and method determines whether to interpolate the first span with a line or with a spline function. If a parameter range is not met, then the span is interpolated as a line to maintain the intended flat section in the program. Also, in this embodiment, the angle defined by a pair of consecutive spans is used to determine whether the two spans should be interpolated with lines or with splines. If a tolerance is exceeded, then the spans are interpolated linearly to maintain the intended sharp comer in the part program. <IMAGE></p> |
