Abstract
A method of moving a cutter blade along a contour defined by a plurality of segments each connected end to end with one another and having at least one angle disposed between consecutively ordered segments calculates a distance from a corner point along one and another line segments and fits an arc to be followed by the blade between the line segments for eliminating repeated high force short time system inputs and replacing them with lower force longer duration inputs to affect the reduction and mechanical wear and the reduction of shocks to the system. The method further includes a process by which individual velocity profiles are determined for each contour in order to run the system at maximum velocity at all times during the course of a cutting operation.
