When a servo motor is used, the positioning system causes an error
between input commands and output results. Since the tool advances
along the specified segment, an error is not produced in linear
interpolation. In circular interpolation, however, radial errors may be
produced, sepecially for circular cutting at high speeds.
This error can be obtained as follows:

Dr : Maximum radius error (mm)
v : Feedrate (mm/s)
r : Circle radius (mm)
T
1
: Exponential acceleration/deceleration time constant
(sec) at cutting (T=0)
T
2
: Time constant of positoning system (sec).
(Inverse of positon loop gain)
r
Since the machining radius r (mm) and allowable error Dr (mm) of the
workpiece is given in actual machining, the allowable limit feedrate v
(mm /sec) is determined by equation (1).
Since the acceleration/deceleration time constant at cutting which is set
by this equipment varies with the machine tool, refer to the manual issued
by the machine tool builder.
