Abstract The paper presents a geometric investigation of collision-free 3-axis milling of surfaces. We consider surfaces with a global shape condition: they shall be interpretable as graphs of bivariate functions or shall be star-shaped with respect to a point. If those surfaces satisfy a local millability criterion involving curvature information, it is proved that this implies globally gouge-free milling. The proofs are based on general offset surfaces. The results can be applied to tool-motion planning and the computation of optimal cutter shapes.

This paper presents an analytical study on the command generation for five-axis CNC machining or CMM measurement. In the integration of CAD and CAM, it is necessary to relate machine tool kinematics and control in a CAM process to the geometrical data in a CAD model. The data stored in a CAD model is usually static in nature and represented by unitless parameters. Yet, in machine tool motion and control, the data should be transformed into a time dependent domain. In this paper, a general theory on the conversion from desired paths to motion trajectory is analytically derived. The geometrical properties of a desired path, including position, tangent, and curvature are related to the kinematics of coordinated motion including feedrate, acceleration and jerk. As a result, the motion commands used as control references to track arbitrary space curves for five-axis computer-controlled machines can be generated in a rather straight-forward as well as systematic way.

This paper investigates the command generation for three-axis CNC machining. In the integration of CAD and CAM, it is necessary to relate machine tool dynamics and control in a CAM process to the geometrical data in a CAD model. The data stored in a CAD model is usually static in nature and represented by unitless parameters. Yet, in machine tool motion and control, the data should be transformed into a time dependent domain. In this paper, the geometrical properties of a cutter path, including position, tangent, curvature and torsion are analytically related to the motion dynamics of a machine tool including feedrate, acceleration, jerk and driving force. The information about feedrate, acceleration and driving force is needed for command generation. Jerk analysis can be used for cutting quality analysis.

In the article, a digital machining environment of CNC lathe is established. On the basis of the idea of Constructive Solid Geometry method, the system consists of the blank display model, the tool and fixture model, CNC machining program editing model and machining simulation model. By making use of VC++ and OpenGL graphics technology the program is done for machine tool motion simulation and cutting simulation. It is an effective accessory tool in the application of CNC lathe to digital production.

Abstract In this paper, a new approach is presented to construct the G-buffer models by finding 3D shape-generating profiles of milling cutters. The G-buffer method is commonly used in 3-axis machining verification. In this paper, the analytic 3D shape-generating profiles are formulated to construct the swept envelope in 5-axis tool motion. The 5-axis machining G-buffer model is updated by the constructed swept envelope. The techniques presented in this paper can be used for 5-axis tool path generation and the machined surface error analysis.

Five-axis CNC machining tools can improve the efficiency and accuracy obviously in machining industries, but the machining errors and tool interference are likely to happen due to the complexity of tool motion. So the verification of the tool path is very important and necessary before machining the part. A new algorithm for 5-axis machining verification based on the stencil buffer has been presented in the paper. Based on the tool path and the cutter geometry, the cutter’s swept profile is determined. The swept envelope is subtracted from the sliced blank part model by using the stencil buffer. Considering the complexity of five-axis tool motions, examples are necessary to verify the reliability of the proposed algorithms. The experiment results indicate that the method is superior to the traditional methods on the processing time and the image quality. This proposed method can further be applied to machining error analysis, collisions interference.
