Digital Design to Digital Production Flank Milling with a 7-Axis CNC-Milling Robot and Parametric Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Just recently Flank Milling has opened up new possibilities in detailing large-scale architectural building envelopes. Whereas examples such as the Hungerburgbahn by Zaha Hadid show the application of Flank Milling at the end of the architectural manufacturing process, our research, in contrast, focuses on the implementation of constraints immanent to manufacturing techniques as early architectural design parameters. This process is explored by the help of generative modeling tools, to allow an intuitive design of freeform parametric curves and surfaces while at the same time obeying crucial geometric conditions. In this paper, we will focus on the “digital design to digital production” process on a 7-axis industrial CNC -robot.

Towards efficient 5-axis flank CNC machining of free-form surfaces via fitting envelopes of surfaces of revolution
We introduce a new method that approximates free-form surfaces by envelopes of one-parameter motions of surfaces of revolution. In the context of 5-axis computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, we propose a flank machining methodology which is a preferable scallop-free scenario when the milling tool and the machined free-form surface meet tangentially along a smooth curve. We seek both ...

متن کاملDesign, Manufacturing and Surface quality Analysis of Machining by Self-Rotary Milling Tool
One of the disadvantages of conventional milling tools is to produce a large amount of heat in cutting zone and so making the tool warmer. As a result, the tool would be worn and its life time would be reduced. Therefore, in long time machining, it is essential to change inserts and tools, continiously. A milling tool with self rotary cutting inserts was designed and manufactured that enables i...

متن کاملMethodology to Determine Kinematic Parameters for the Postprocessor of Multi-axis Cnc Milling Center
Kinematic models for post processors have been developed for different multi-axis machining centers, but the actual values which define the kinematic model can be obtained by using expensive measurement equipment. A simple procedure can be developed to acquire these values. This paper proposes a methodology to determine tool compensation vector and rotational compensation vector for the post pr...
