Conventional contour-parallel tool path patterns are inapplicable for milling pockets with islands at high speed because of sharp turning corners. To solve this problem, a new tool path generation algorithm is presented. Firstly, the setting-out points are set on the boundary of island and pocket, and a spiral fashion polyline is created by linearly interpolating the setting-out straights which are connected from the setting-out points of island and pocket. Then, the control points are inserted into the polyline under exponential regularization. Finally, the smooth tool path is generated via any order B-spline curve fitting. The tool path is applicable to pockets with bias island. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional contour-parallel tool path, high-order B-spline curve tool path can be sent directly to machine controller with NURBS interpolation function, the change range of cutting force will be decreased, meanwhile the machining accuracy of island and machining efficiency of pocket will be improved.
