NC data with an insufficient resolution and variable point density in adjacent paths can lead to feed rate fluctuations and errors on the workpiece surface. ADP – Advanced Dynamic Prediction improves the calculation of the optimum speed for a precise and smooth movement of the TCP.
With ADP, the TNC control can dynamically calculate the contour in advance and adapt the axis speeds in time for contour transitions using acceleration-limited and jerk-smoothing motion control. As a result, clean surfaces can be milled in short machining times for contours with highly irregular point distributions in neighboring tool paths.
Advantages:
- Higher contour speed and shorter machining times
- Superior surface quality
The strengths of ADP are evident, for example, in bidirectional finish milling in the following ways:
- Through symmetrical feed rate behavior on back-and forth paths
- Through particularly smooth feed rate curves for neighboring milling paths
