Tool-path planning method for kinematics optimization of blade machining on five-axis machine tool

Planning tool paths on free-form surfaces is a widely discussed issue. However, satisfying all the requirements of blade machining using traditional path-planning methods remains challenge. Herein, new iso-parametric strategy, based novel parameterization method and combined with conformal transformation theory, proposed. The presented strategy adapts to curvature surfaces, improving kinematic performance process, reducing complexity multi-axis coordinated motion control, quality. A comparison between proposed three also discussed. influence path machine quantitatively examined models two different machines. Finally, results deep-cutting milling experiment conducted verify improvement quality due optimization are described. provides more reasonable approach for five-axis tool, which can significantly reduce cost machining, minimize risks failure, enhance large-scale automated production blades.
