On a five-axis CNC machine tool, the pretravel errors of touch-trigger probes are severely affected by gravity and must be compensated to ensure the required measurement accuracy. The situation is more complex than that of the three-axis on-machine inspection system. This paper proposes a simple and accurate modeling and compensation method for the probe pretravel error of a five-axis on-machine inspection system. First, the pretravel error for the 5-axis CNC tool is decoupled into three parts, which are analyzed based on the probe's mechanical structure. Then, a new calibration point selection strategy is proposed to obtain the accurate reference sphere center. Finally, we carry out calibration tests to validate the proposed method. The compensation results show that the proposed compensation method for the probe pretravel error under the influence of gravity (PPEUG) can improve the accuracy considerably. 相似文献

The genetic algorithm (GA) is a heuristics, and commonly used to solve combinational problems. It has been proven to have high effectiveness and efficiency in many application areas. However, a successful GA application requires adapting the algorithm to the characteristics of a problem. In the past decades, various articles on single machine earliness and tardiness (SET) problem using a heuristic approaching have been published. Yet, there are few research addressing the area of the SET problem with distinct due dates and ready times for jobs. In this paper, a designed GA, modified optimal timing procedure, which starts the searching with a feasible solution obtained by applying the EXP-ET rule developed by Ow and Morton is developed for the SET problem. Computational results in the provided experiment show that the designed GA improves the SET solution in both quality and efficiency. 相似文献

This paper presents a systematic scheme for the verification of tool paths in five-axis machining of sculptured surfaces. The criterion of interference detection is developed for a general APT cutter. Tool interference problems which occur across multiple surfaces can be dealt with. In this work, sculptured surfaces are subdivided into discrete sample points for interference detection. The undetected interference error introduced in the surface subdivision process is ensured within a user-specified tolerance. Simulation results of test examples are included to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme. 相似文献

This paper discusses automatic tool path generation for five-axis filleted end mill finish-surface machining. A new method of automatic five-axis tool path generation is introduced called Grind-Free (GF) tool path generation. GF surfaces result from tool paths that avoid gouging and have scallops that are within the surface profile or waviness tolerances. New algorithms are presented for determining tool forward step and tool path step-over that produce a GF surface. Gouge-free tool paths can be generated directly from CAD data based solely on local and global machining constraints. The proposed methodology for GF tool path generation has been implemented in the C language using the CODE/Robline system. Surfaces were machined on a Boston Digital 505 five-axis milling machine to confirm this method. 相似文献

Optimal five-axis tool path generation algorithm based on double scalar fields for freeform surfaces
Ke Zhang Kai Tang 《The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology》2016,83(9-12):1503-1514
In order to generate efficient tool path with given precision requirements, scallop height should be kept under a given limit, while the tool path should be as short as possible to reduce machining time. Traditional methods generate CC curves one by one, which makes the final tool path far from being globally optimal. This paper presents an optimal tool path generation model for a ball-end tool which strives to globally optimize a tool path with various objectives and constraints. Two scalar functions are constructed over the part surface to represent the path intervals and the feedrate (with directions). Using the finite element method (FEM), the tool path length minimization model and the machining time minimization model are solved numerically. The proposed method is also suitable for tool path generation on mesh surfaces. Simulation results show that the generated tool path can be direction parallel or contour parallel with different boundary conditions. Compared to most of the conventional tool path generation methods, the proposed method is able to generate more effective tool paths due to the global optimization strategy. 相似文献

Machinability and set-up orientation for five-axis numerically controlled machining of free surfaces 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

In this paper, we investigate the problems of determining machinability and part set-up orientation for a given surface model. We first develop kinematic models of the five-axis machines, based on the axis configuration, then develop algorithms for determining the feasibility of one-set-up machining (machinability) and the part orientation for types C-A and A-B tool configurations. Machinability is determined by a computationally efficient procedure for finding the intersection of the feasible tool motion on the sphere and a visibility map which we call the binary spherical map (BSM). The part set-up is so chosen as to give the smallest rotational range among all feasible configurations. The algorithms developed have been tested via numerical simulations. The results show that they can be readily implemented in a CAD/CAM system, as an automated process planner selecting the efficient machine type and part set-up for NC machining. 相似文献

Weld cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of a corrosion resistance material over carbon steel plate to improve the corrosion resistance properties. The main problem faced in stainless steel cladding is the selection of process parameters for achieving the required clad bead geometry and its shape relationships. This paper highlights an experimental study carried out to develop mathematical models to predict clad bead geometry and its shape relationships of austenitic stainless steel claddings deposited by gas metal arc welding process. The experiments were conducted based on four-factor, five-level central composite rotatable design with full replication technique. The mathematical models were developed using multiple regression method. The developed models have been checked for their adequacy and significance. The direct and interaction effects of process parameters on clad bead geometry and its shape relationships are presented in graphical form. 相似文献

Combined reparameterization-based spiral toolpath generation for five-axis sculptured surface machining 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fei Ren Yuwen Sun Dongming Guo 《The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology》2009,40(7-8):760-768
Reparameterization-based toolpath generation methods are usually adopted for machining triangular meshes, trimmed surfaces and compound surfaces. The quality of the reparameterization has an important effect on that of the surface. In this paper, a combined reparameterization procedure is introduced to generate an optimal mapping between the designed surface and a specified planar circular region with relatively less distortion both in length and in angle. Then, for five-axis sculptured surface machining the mathematical model of spiral guide path with maximum path interval is constructed in the circular region. Cutter contact paths are obtained by inversely mapping the guide path onto the designed surface. Under constraints of gouging and collision, continuous and optimal cutter orientations are subsequently calculated. Finally, the results of simulation and experiment of the machining process are given to illustrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method. 相似文献

Nonlinear errors in five-axis machining process are caused due to the nonlinear motions of the rotational axes, which are inevitable. For the RT-type machine tool, the workpiece setup location on the working table has a direct effect on the nonlinear errors, thus there must be an optimal setup position which can reduce the nonlinear errors. Today’s five-axis machine tools are mostly equipped the with the RTCP (rotational tool center point) function, with which the NC program becomes independent from the workpiece setup. In this paper, we have focused on finding the optimal workpiece setup for the RT-type machine tool with RTCP function, more specifically, the Mikron UCP 600 five-axis machine tool in our lab. The kinematics of the machine tool is briefly analyzed. Based on that, the nonlinear error evaluation method with RTCP interpolation is derived. With this method, nonlinear errors can actually be considered as a function of the workpiece setup position. Then, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to find the optimal workpiece setup, in which a mutation operation is used since PSO traps into local optimum easily. The proposed optimal workpiece setup method is implemented and tested. Example results show that the optimal setup with least nonlinear errors can be found. Some interesting results also show that the nonlinear errors are not sensitive with the z component of the workpiece setup vector. The proposed optimization is nearly zero-cost and easy to both understand and implement, yet has a potential to reduce the nonlinear errors and thus to improve the accuracy of five-axis machining. 相似文献

Parallel manipulators have the potentials of high efficiency and high precision in the field of machining and manufacturing. However, accuracy improvement of the parallel manipulator is still an essential and challenging issue, encountering two important problems. Firstly, the ignorance of elastic deformation caused by gravity or deviations of static stiffness model restricts further improvement of accuracy. To solve this problem, an elasto-geometrical error modeling method is proposed. The comprehensive effects of structural errors, elastic deformation under gravity and compliance parameter errors on pose deviations are disclosed. On this basis, the identification equation of actual structural errors and compliance parameter errors can be established. Secondly, the ill-conditioned identification matrix and the identification equation with anisotropic residual error can lead to inaccurate identification results. To solve this problem, a weighted regularization method is proposed. The identification equation with isotropic residual error is built, and accurate identification can be realized with the regularization method. Based on the proposed methods, the error compensation experiment is conducted on the prototype of a five-axis parallel machining robot using a laser tracker. Experiment results show that the accuracy of the machining robot is significantly improved after compensation. An M1_160 test piece and an S-shaped test piece are machined and measured to further validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The elasto-geometrical error modeling method and the weighted regularization method can be applied to other parallel manipulators’ accuracy improvement. 相似文献

Free-form surfaces are widely used in CAD systems to describe the part surface. Today, the most advanced machining of free
from surfaces is done in five-axis machining using a flat end mill cutter. However, five-axis machining requires complex algorithms
for gouging avoidance, collision detection and powerful computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems to support various operations.
An accurate and efficient method is proposed for five-axis CNC machining of free-form surfaces. The proposed algorithm selects
the best tool and plans the toolpath autonomously using curvature matching and integrated inverse kinematics of the machine
tool. The new algorithm uses the real cutter contact toolpath generated by the inverse kinematics and not the linearized piecewise
real cutter location toolpath. 相似文献

Improvement of machining efficiency is always one of the most interesting problems in CNC machining. Traditionally, the ball-end cutter is widely used in sculptured surface machining for the highly flexible controllability. But the process efficiency is low especially for freeform surface machining, which generally needs multiple tool-paths. To improve the machining efficiency of multi-axis flank milling of freeform surface, a novel barrel cutter design method is proposed in this paper. There are two principle parameters determining the revolution surface of the barrel cutter: the radius of the generatrix curve and the maximum rotating radius. The main work in this paper is to calculate the two parameters for strip-width-maximization machining without local over-gouging. Firstly, the curvature properties are introduced by the geometry model of the barrel cutter. Then the contact condition between the barrel cutter and the freeform surface is analyzed, relationship between cutter parameters and surface curvature is derived. To avoid the over-gouging, based on the curvature constraint, the designed surface is fitted into the cutter surface by surface approximation theory, so that the cutter surface can approach to the designed surface as close as possible. After that, toolpath planning method for milling of freeform surface with the barrel cutter is presented. Finally, machining implementations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel method for mapping a texture for machining onto a freeform surface. When a grain texture designed on a 2D plane is projected onto a freeform surface simply, the texture is distorted along the curvature of the surface in the projection direction. Therefore, a method is required to suppress this distortion. The algorithm proposed in this paper rapidly generates a point cloud that represents a texture with less distortion on a simply connected parametric surface. Specifically, four equations that express local geometry constraints instead of conventional parameterization methods are presented to reduce the distortion between adjacent points on the point cloud. Solving these equations can generate grain textures on freeform surfaces. This paper examines two grain images mapped to two freeform surfaces that were prepared as case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. 相似文献

The tool interference problem is the most critical problem faced in sculptured surface machining. This paper presents a methodology for interference detection and avoidance in five-axis NC machining of sculptured surfaces with a filleted-end cutter. The surfaces to be machined are divided into convex and non-convex regions. There is no local interference inside the convex regions. For the non-convex regions, based on the analysis of the different local interference, local gouging is first detected and avoided by determining optimal cutter orientations. Rear gouging detection and avoidance algorithms are then proposed for simple smooth surfaces and complex shaped surfaces, respectively. The techniques presented in this paper can be used to generate interference-free tool paths. The realistic results indicate that the proposed method is feasible and reliable . 相似文献

There is an increasing demand in conceptual design for more intuitive methods for creating and modifying freeform curves and surfaces in CAD modeling systems. The methods should be based not only on the change of the mathematical parameters but also on the user's specified constraints and shapes. This paper presents a new surface representation model for freeform surface deformation representation. The model is a combination of two functions: a displacement function and a function for representing an existing NURBS surface called a parent surface. Based on the surface model, the authors develop several novel deformation methods which are named SingleDef (Single-point constraint based deformation method), MultiDef (Multiple-points constraints based deformation method), CurDef (Curve constraints based deformation method) and FeatDef (Feature constraint based deformation method). The techniques for freeform surface deformation allow conceptual designers to modify a parent surface by directly applying point constraints, curve constraint or a surface constraint to the parent surface. The deformation methods are implemented in an experimental CAD system. The results show that designers can easily and intuitively control the surface shape. 相似文献

Five-axis machining plays an important role in manufacturing by dint of its high efficiency and accuracy. While two rotation axes benefit the flexibility of machining, it also brings limitations and challenges. In order to further balance machining precision and efficiency, an improved feedrate scheduling method is presented considering geometric error and kinematic constraints for the Non Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) interpolation in five-axis machining. A simplification method is proposed to calculate the geometric error which describes the deviation between the ideal tool path and the real tool path induced by the non-linear movement. A linear relation between geometric error and feedrate is built to limit the feedrate. The constraints determined by single axis kinematic performance and tangential kinematic performance are also considered. Under these constraints, a constrained feedrate profile is determined. Aiming to get more constant feedrate in the difficult-to-machine areas, this work proposes a scheduling method which combines morphological filtering and S-shape acceleration/deceleration (acc/dec) mode. Simulations and experiments are performed to compare the proposed feedrate scheduling method with two previous feedrate scheduling method and the results prove that the proposed feedrate scheduling method is reliable and effective. 相似文献
