An Intelligent Approach to Multiple Cutters of Maximum Sizes for Three-Axis Milling of Sculptured Surface Parts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to their complex geometries, sculptured surface parts should be machined with multiple cutters of optimal sizes for high quality and productivity. Current methods of determining cutter sizes, ...
An Efficient, Accurate Approach to Representing Cutter-Swept Envelopes and Its Applications to Three-Axis Virtual Milling of Sculptured Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To address a major technical challenge in simulating geometric models of machined sculptured surfaces in three-axis virtual machining, this paper presents an efficient, accurate approach to ...
Piecewise B-Spline Tool Paths With the Arc-Length Parameter and Their Application on High Feed, Accurate CNC Milling of Free-Form Profiles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To conduct B-spline curve machining, first, B-spline tool paths with feed rates are planned; and second, the B-spline interpolator generates tool trajectories in real-time based on the paths fed ...
A New Principle of CNC Tool Path Planning for Three-Axis Sculptured Part Machining—A Steepest-Ascending Tool Path
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three-axis CNC milling is often used to machine sculptured parts. Due to the complex surface shape of these parts, well-planned tool paths can significantly increase the machining efficiency. ...
