Piecewise Decoupling Tool Orientation Re-Scheduling for Four-Axis Reciprocal Toolpaths of Blades Based on <i>S</i>-<i>θ</i> Plane with Monotonicity Constraint by Jingsong Li, Dening Song, Peiyao Li, Qiang Zhang, Jinghua Li, Jianwei Ma

“…Reciprocal toolpaths with four-axis simultaneous motion of five-axis or four-axis machine tools are commonly used in the machining of blades which are widely applied in high-end equipment such as the aero-engine and the marine steam turbine. Due to the complex geometry of the blades, the tool orientation always suffers from frequent swing for this kind of toolpaths, which induces unnecessary acceleration/deceleration of the feed axes, thus degrading processing efficiency and quality. …”
