Optimization of Tool Path Planning in 5-Axis Flank Milling of Ruled Surfaces with Improved PSO
5-Axis machining has been widely used in manufacturing of complex ruled geometries in automobile, aerospace, energy, and mould industries. Compared with traditional 3-axis machining, this machining operation offers better shaping capability and productivity with additional degrees of freedom in the tool motion. Tool path planning is a challenging task in most 5-axis machining operations, with t...
متن کاملImproving optimization of tool path planning in 5-axis flank milling using advanced PSO algorithms
This paper studies optimization of tool path planning in 5-axis flank milling of ruled surfaces using advanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) methods with machining error as an objective. We enlarge the solution space in the optimization by relaxing the constraint imposed by previous studies that the cutter must make contact with the boundary curves. Advanced Particle Swarm Optimization (APS...
متن کامل5-Axis Flank Milling of Sculptured Surfaces
This chapter covers the various free-form surface flank milling strategies available, focusing in particular on those for ruled surfaces as widely used in defining turbomachine parts. All these positionings seek to reduce interference between the cutting tool and the surface to be milled so as to respect the tolerances dictated by the Design Office. The range of strategies presented goes from t...
متن کاملTriple tangent flank milling of ruled surfaces
This paper presents a positioning strategy for flank milling ruled surfaces. It is a modification of a positioning method developed by Bedi et al. [1]. A cylindrical cutting tool is initially positioned tangential to the two boundary curves on a ruled surface. Optimization is used to move these tangential points to different curves on the ruled surface to reduce the error. A second optimization...
متن کاملTool Path Planning for Five-Axis Flank Milling with Developable Surface Approximation
This paper presents a novel approach that automatically generates interference-free tool path for five-axis flank milling of ruled surface. A boundary curve of the machined surface is subdivided into curve segments. Each segment works as a guide curve in the design method for developable Bézier surface that controls a developable patch for approximating the surface with available degrees of fre...
