Abstract
This paper investigates the accuracy achieved when cutter location data is postprocessed for multi-axis milling machines. A recursive linearisation algorithm and a feed rate control algorithm are presented, and the problem of singular configuration is discussed. It is explained how a postprocessor can be used to optimise the workpiece clamping position in order to minimise the machining time, and how the postprocessor can compensate for inaccuracies in workpiece clamping.
