چکیده

We present a scheme to construct C1 continuous toolpath for 5-axis pocketing of high speed machining. A continuous toolpath synthesis is proposed, that forms out circular segments of maximally inscribed sizes and linear segments connecting these circular segments. Extending earlier work that employed the Medial Axis Transform to compute these maximally inscribed circles for 2D planar pockets, this work examines general pockets in R3 represented as NURBS surfaces, and in 5-axis machining setup. Results are demonstrated by employing the proposed scheme toward the machining of impellers. Possible extensions toward a C2 continuous toolpath is discussed as well.

MATHSM: medial axis transform toward high speed machining of pockets

The pocketing operation is a fundamental procedure in NC machining. Typical pocketing schemes compute uniform successive offsets or parallel cuts of the outline of the pocket, resulting in a toolpath with C discontinuities. These discontinuities render the toolpath quite impractical in the context of high speed machining (HSM). This work addresses and fully resolves the need for a C continuous ...

5-Axis Computer Aided Manufacturing of Stamping Die Insert: A Case Study

3-Axis Machines have traditionally been used for stamping die insert machining, which have less flexibility in terms of degrees of freedom. In order to cater to ever increasing demand for class-A surface finish of the inserts, additional operations such as hand grinding and polishing needs to be performed. It has been possible to manufacture the die inserts with 5 -axis machines, which in theor...

Model for performance prediction in multi-axis machining

This paper deals with a predictive model of kinematical performance in 5-axis milling within the context of High Speed Machining. Indeed, 5-axis high speed milling makes it possible to improve quality and productivity thanks to the degrees of freedom brought by the tool axis orientation. The tool axis orientation can be set efficiently in terms of productivity by considering kinematical constra...
