Toolpath Feedrate Optimization: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this research is to improve the productivity of Numerically Controlled (NC) machine tools by optimization of feedrate settings. In this paper we compare the maximum cutting forces and cutting times using traditional methods with those achieved using the optimization methods developed in our research. Results indicate that significant productivity gains can be realized using the feedrate optimization techniques. Benefits include shorter cutting times, significantly reduced maximum cutting forces, and reduced uncertainty in the preparation of NC machining programs.

Non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) interpolator has been widely used in modern manufacturing systems to machine arbitrary geometries with great relief of the data flow bottleneck and feedrate fluctuation. However, in practice, real-time feedrate does not always meet the computer numerical control (CNC) command exactly subject to the system dynamics. To solve this problem, we present a real-t...
