Continuous Path Control (CPC) is a technique in manufacturing and automation that allows machine tools to be controlled along a continuous path to perform complex movements and machining operations. This technique is commonly used in CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machines to cut, drill or mill precise and complex shapes in various materials.
CPC uses continuous movements along a path instead of discrete movements from point to point, resulting in smoother and more precise machining results. By controlling speed, acceleration and path curves, complex shapes and contours can be machined with high accuracy and repeatability.
The use of Continuous Path Control enables more efficient use of machine tools, reduced machining times and improved surface quality of machined parts. This technology is particularly important in the production of complex components in industries such as aerospace, automotive and medical technology.
