An Exact Representation of Effective Cutting Shapes of 5-axis CNC Machining Using Rational Bezier and B-spline Tool Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 paths. Two examples are given to show how this result can be used to accurately plan and verify tool paths for 5-axis CNC milling of sculptured surfaces.

Real-time Variable Feedrate Parametric Interpolator for Cnc Machining
In modern commercial CAD and systems, a wide variety of part shapes for dies and molds are usually represented in parametric curves (or surfaces) like the Bezier curve, B-spline, and NURBS. However, conventional CNC machines only provide line or circular interpolators. In order to perform the machining of molds, the shapes and desired tool paths designed using CAD/CAM systems are typically appr...
متن کامل5-axis Interpolation and Synchronous Servo Process with NURBS Method
Abstract Nowadays, NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) method is widely used in CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to represent sculptured curves or surfaces. In this paper, we develop a 5-axis NURBS real-time interpolator and realize it in our developing CNC(Computer Numerical Control) system. At first, we use two NURBS curves to represent tool-tip and tool-axis pat...

Abstract A real-time path generation method with Non Uniform Rational B Spline(NURBS) technology in the Computer Aided Design(CAD) field is presented and realized in a five-axis Computer Numerically Controlled(CNC) system. In this method, the tool path was represented into two NURBS curves, tooltip and tool-orientation spline curve, based on the same knot vector. The Cutter Location(CL) data wa...
