A New Analytical Path-Reshaping Model and Solution Algorithm for Contour Error Pre-Compensation in Multi-Axis Computer Numerical Control Machining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reduction of contour error is crucial for multi-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machining to produce products with required geometric and dimensional accuracy. Although various contour error pre-compensation methods ...
An Approach to Modeling Cutting Forces in Five-Axis Ball-End Milling of Curved Geometries Based on Tool Motion Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The prediction of five-axis ball-end milling forces is quite a challenge due to difficulties of determining the underformed chip thickness and engaged cutting edge. To solve these concerns, this ...
A Gouge-Free Tool Axis Reorientation Method for Kinematics Compliant Avoidance of Singularity in 5-Axis Machining
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a cutter traverses a region local to the singularity in 5-axis machining, the stability of machine tool motion may be violated and inevitably lead to a reduction in machining quality and accuracy. In this paper, the ...
An Analytical Corner Rounding Algorithm With G01 Shape Preserving for Five-Axis Computer Numerical Controlled Machining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: G01 blocks are the widespread format of toolpath in computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining. For achieving smooth motion and eliminating the geometrical discontinuity at the block transitions, various local corner ...
Generation Mechanism and Quality of Milling Surface Profile for Variable Pitch Tools Considering Runout
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface profile is one of the foremost aspects to evaluate milling performance. Its generation mechanism is affected by a variety of factors such as tool geometry, runout values, and process parameters and thus still ...
Jerk-Optimal Piecewise Planning of Tool Orientation for 5-Axis Ball-End Machining With Linearized Kinematic Constraints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When planning tool orientations for 5-axis machining from the perspective of kinematics, existing works often tend to optimize the angular velocity or acceleration of the rotary axes rather than the angular jerk due to its ...
