MODELING AND COMPENSATION TECHNIQUE FOR THE GEOMETRIC ERRORS OF FIVE－AXIS CNC MACHINE TOOLS

One of the important trends in precision machining is the development of real-time error compensation technique. The error compensation for multi-axis CNC machine tools is very difficult and attractive. The modeling for the geometric error of five-axis CNC machine tools based on multi-body systems is proposed. And the key technique of the compensation-identifying geometric error parameters-is developed. The simulation of cutting workpiece to verify the modeling based on the multi-body systems is also considered.     

Geometric error compensation for multi-axis CNC machines based on differential transformation

As the geometric errors of motion axis can be equivalent to the differential movement, regarded as a differential operator based on its ideal position, a new modeling method for multi-axis CNC machines based on differential transform theory is proposed in this paper. First, the workpiece coordinates is selected to observe the errors of the tool pose. Then, a general geometric error model for multi-axis machines is established. Moreover, the Jacobian matrix is applied to describe the relationship between the tool pose error vector and the compensation error vector. All the elements of the matrix are obtained by computing the differential operators instead of computing the partial derivatives. The compensation errors vector is solved using the pseudo-inverse Jacobian matrix. Finally, an automatic modeling procedure is developed to construct the geometric errors for multi-axis machine tools. An experiment on a five-axis machine tool is conducted to test and verify the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method dramatically improves the overall position accuracy of the test tool path.

Five-axis STEP-NC controller for machining of surfaces

Five-axis machining is more widely used in manufacturing of freeform surfaces. However, in five-axis machining of freeform surfaces, incomplete information exchange between computer numerical control (CNC) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) results in many limitations need to be rectified. In the paper, a new structure of CNC based on STEP-NC standard is proposed, where tool path planning, tool offset, and inverse kinematics are transferred from CAM to CNC. In order to guarantee good openness, open platform and standard interface are applied in the development. Technology of module collaboration and design of data flow are studied. A five-axis real-time interpolator for non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces machining is realized. Based on these technologies, a five-axis CNC is developed in the manner of software realization, which consists of interpreter, task coordinator, axis group, softPLC, etc. The software CNC system has been applied on a tilt-rotary type five-axis machine tool, where the milling experiment has been performed successfully.     

基于机床运动学约束球头刀多轴加工刀轴矢量优化方法

针对目前航空发动机叶片进排气边加工精度和表面质量较差的问题,提出了一种基于机床运动学约束球头刀多轴加工刀轴矢量优化方法。建立刀位优化变量与刀位数据之间的关系方程,同时建立刀位数据与机床回转轴角度之间的运动变换方程,从而推导出刀位优化变量与机床回转轴角度之间的关系方程。通过求解上述方程得到球头刀多轴加工复杂曲面的刀轴矢量计算公式。在此基础上,给出球头刀多轴加工刀轴矢量优化方法和刀轨生成方法。同时,以某航空发动机叶片为例,分析了本文算法和Sturz算法对机床回转轴角度的影响。分别利用本文算法和Sturz算法生成该叶片进气边加工的刀轨,并在五轴数控机床上进行加工试验。试验结果表明,该算法能够避免加工过程中机床回转轴的大幅波动,使机床轴运动更加平稳和光滑,从而提高曲面的加工质量和加工效率,具有一定的实际应用价值。     

五轴微段平滑插补算法

在五轴加工编程中,计算机辅助制造系统对曲面加工通常采用以折代曲,采用大量的微小G01直线段来加工曲面,在曲率半径较大的工件表面会出现明显折痕,严重影响工件表面的加工质量。为提高五轴数控加工工件的表面质量,提出一种五轴微段平滑插补算法。该算法考虑五轴加工中刀位数据的量纲差异,根据相邻数据点间的线性轴长度、线性轴的夹角和旋转轴角度变化量识别五轴数控加工程序中非连续微段和连续微段加工区域。对非连续微段加工区域按照原始直线段和旋转轴直接插补,从而保证加工精度。对连续微段加工区域,先通过五维变量获取节点参数,采用最小二乘法对指令点在允许的精度范围内进行修正;对修正后的指令点采用4点构造法计算二阶切矢,根据连续微段的指令点修正值,节点参数值和对应的二阶切矢值获取二阶连续的三次样条曲线;在二阶连续平滑的曲线上进行实时插补计算,控制机床进行五轴加工。试验结果表明:通过提出的五轴微段平滑压缩算法拟合后的路径要更加接近原始的曲面模型,平滑处理过的实际工件加工表面也要优于未进行处理的工件加工表面,提高了五轴自由曲面的表面质量。     

A Cutter Orientation Modification Method for the Reduction of Non-linearity Errors in Five-Axis CNC Machining

In the machining of sculptured surfaces, five-axis CNC machine tools provide more flexibility to realize the cutter position as its axis orientation spatially changes. Conventional five-axis machining uses straight line segments to connect consecutive machining data points, and uses linear interpolation to generate command signals for positions between end points. Due to five-axis simultaneous and coupled rotary and linear movements, the actual machining motion trajectory is a non-linear path. The non-linear curve segments deviate from the linearly interpolated straight line segments, resulting in a non-linearity machining error in each machining step. These non-linearity errors, in addition to the linearity error, commonly create obstacles to the assurance of high machining precision. In this paper, a novel methodology for solving the non-linearity errors problem in five-axis CNC machining is presented. The proposed method is based on the machine type-specific kinematics and the machining motion trajectory. Non-linearity errors are reduced by modifying the cutter orientations without inserting additional machining data points. An off-line processing of a set of tool path data for machining a sculptured surface illustrates that the proposed method increases machining precision.     

Automatic selection of cutter orientation for preventing the collision problem on a five-axis machining

The rotation joints of a five-axis machine tool can offer freedom and appropriate rotation to prevent interference problem between workpiece and the cutter. However, to a five-axis machine tool, it is quite difficult to determine the collision-free cutter orientation. Over this problem, a two-stage cutting tool collision check method is proposed to prevent the collision problem during the cutting process on a five-axis machine tool. The proposed method is capable of determining the collision free ball-end cutter orientation automatically. The first stage is to obtain the tilting and collision-free angle range in the plane that is normal to the tool path obtained. Next, a checking cone generated from this collision-free tool axis range is used for the second collision check. The collision region is formed by the intersection of the neighboring surfaces. This implies a collision-free yaw angle range. The final cutting tool orientation is determined automatically by referring the original spindle axis and the least angular variation from the spindle axis. Finally, the implementation issue is discussed with example.
