Taking tube bender system for producing pagoda-shaped fluorescent tubes as an example in this paper, four coordinates movement equations of CNC system with Parabolic characteristic are derived and an algorithm for nonlinear interpolation of four-axis linkage based on target point tracking algorithm is presented for the spiral fluorescent tube bending machine with CNC system by means of deep analysis of the pulse interval interpolation algorithm. By using this algorithm, coordinated control of four coordinates in tube bender system can be realized and, in addition, software programming procedure can be directly used for this system. Test shows that the system which uses this interpolation method has the characteristic of simple operation, high speed and high single-pulse interpolation accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
