چکیده
Abstract: This paper applied the concept of “contact” in Differential Geometry into the machining of the sculptured surface. I presented the contact principle of the machining of complicated surfaces, using the circumference circle of the cylindrical cutter to sweep the curved surface instead of ball-end mill. This is highly effective method. In this paper an theory for machining complicated surface is presented. By using a flat-end mill instead of ball-end mill, and adjusting the axis relate to the surface, the two surfaces, The swept surface and the required surface, has the same curvature, up to as high as 3th order.

An Instantaneous Rigid Force Model For 3-Axis Ball-End Milling Of Sculptured Surfaces
An instantaneous rigid force model for prediction of cutting forces in ball-end milling of sculptured surfaces is presented in this paper. A commercially available geometric engine is used to represent the cutting edge, cutter and updated part geometries. The cutter used in this work is an insert type ball-end mill. Intersecting an inclined plane with the cutter ball nose generates the cutting...
متن کاملAn Exact Representation of Effective Cutting Shapes of 5-axis CNC Machining Using Rational Bezier and B-spline Tool Motions
Presented in this paper is a new approach to 5-axis CNC tool path generation for sculptured surface machining with a flat-end cutter. Rational Bézier and B-spline motions are used to plan cutter motions so that an exact representation of the effective cutting shape can be obtained. The exact representation leads to an accurate computation of the scallop curve generated by two adjacent tool path...

Taking the design tolerance into account, this paper presents a novel efficient approach to generate iso-scallop tool path for five-axis strip machining with a barrel cutter. The cutter location is first determined on the scallop surface instead of the design surface, and then the cutter is adjusted to locate the optimal tool position based on the differential rotation of the tool axis and sati...

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 ...
