Unit12 Continuous Path （连续路径加工） Contouring, or continuous path machining, involves work such as that produced on a lathe or milling machine, where the cutting tool is in contact with the workpiece as it travels from one programmed point to the next. 轮廓加工又称为连续路径加工，它是在车床或铣床上进行的。在轮廓加工中，当刀具从一个编程点移动到另一个编程点时，刀具和工件始终保持接触。 在此句中，where 引导一个定语从句修饰lathe or milling machine, 该从句中又套了一个由as引导的状语从句。 Continuous path positioning is the ability to control motions on two or more machine axes simultaneously to keep a constant cutter-workpiece relationship. 连续轨迹定位是指控制两轴或多轴联动以保持恒定的刀具—工件相对位置的能力。 The programmed information on the NC tape must accurately position the cutting tool from one point to the next and follow a predefined accurate path at a programmed feed rate in order to produce the form or contour required. 数控纸带上的信息能够使刀具按程序所存的进给率沿预定路径从一点到另一点准确定位，从而加工出所要求的形状或轮廓。 The method by which contouring machine tools move from one programmed point to the next is called interpolation. This ability to merge individual axis points into a predefined tool path is built into most of today’s MCUs. 轮廓加工时，刀具从一个编程点移动到另一编程点采用的方式称为插补。当今的机床控制单元大多都有将各个轴向的运动复合为预定走刀路径的功能。 在此句中，主语this ability 后是一个不定式作定语修饰ability. merge …into …把…合并成 There are five methods of interpolation: linear, circular, helical, parabolic, and cubic. All contouring controls provide linear interpolation, and most controls are capable of both linear and circular interpolation. Helical, parabolic, and cubic interpolation are used by industries that manufacture parts which have complex shapes, such as aerospace parts and dies for car bodies. 插补的方法可有五种，它们是直线插补、圆弧插补、螺旋插补、抛物线插补以及立方体插补。所有的轮廓控制都提供直线插补功能；多数轮廓控制兼有直线插补和圆弧插补两种功能。在制造业中，螺旋插补、抛物线插补和立方体插补可加工各种复杂型面的零件，比如航空器零件和汽车车身模具。 Linear Interpolation：直线插补 Linear interpolation consists of any programmed points linked together by straight lines, whether the points are close together or far apart. Curves can be produced with linear interpolation by breaki
