Recently, a novel manufacturing technology has spread out with a five-axis machining center. It is especially important to keep the surface roughness on an entire machined surface constant. Thus, we proposed a novel method for maintaining a constant feed speed vector at the cutting point between the end-mill tool and the workpiece surface by controlling two linear axes and a rotary axis with a five-axis machining center. In the present report, we focused on machining the combined inner and outer radius curvature and investigating the influence of synchronous control error between the linear axes and rotary axis on the machining accuracy and surface roughness. As a result, we determined that it is possible to suppress sudden change in the synchronous motion error by accurately aligning the motion direction of the linear and rotary axes and the feed speed vector at milling point at the contact point of the inner and outer circles.

Abstract Five-axis machining center, combined three linear and two rotary axes, has been increasingly used in complex surface machining. However, as the two additional axes, the machined surface under table coordinate system is usually different from the tool motion under machine coordinate system, and as a result, it is very tough to predict the machined shape errors caused by each axes error motions. This research presents a new kind of sensitivity analysis method, to find the relationship between error motions of each axis and geometric errors of machined shape directly. In this research, the S-shaped machining test is taken as a sample to explain how the sensitivity analysis makes sense. The results show that the presented sensitivity analysis can investigate how the error motions affect the S-shaped machining accuracy and predicted the influence of error motions on certain positions, such as the reversal errors of the axes around motion reversal points. It can be proved that the presented method can help the five-axis machining center users to predict the machining errors on the designed surface of each axes error motions.

Recently It is difficult to maintain the high surface quality ingenerating curved surface shape under five-axis controlled end-milling. In this study, we aimed at maintaining feed speed vector at milling point by controlling two linear axes and a rotary axis with a five-axis machining center, to improve machined surface quality and suggested a method for solving shape error of machined workpiece considering differences of three axes’s sarvo characteristics. As the results, it could be seen that shape error greatly decreased based on the proposed method.

Nowadays, the equipment for processing special-shaped stone products is developing towards high efficiency, intelligent and multifunction. Based on the features of stone processing technology, a sawing-milling compound machining center with eight axes and double five-axis simultaneous control for special-shaped stone products was designed. The dynamic performance and processing capacity were tested. Research shows that the sawing and milling compound machining in the same horizontal slide saddle is practicable. This machine can realize both vertical and horizontal machining under five-axis simultaneous control, and its machining accuracy is better than the normal industrial standard.

Abstract A five-axis machining center is equipped with a direct drive motor on a rotary axis and is capable of synchronous control, which makes it a feasible tool for quickly and accurately machining complicated three-dimensional surfaces such as propellers and hypoid gears. However, the accuracy of the machined shape and consistency of the freeform machined surface both need to be improved. We developed a method for maintaining the feed speed vector at the milling point by controlling three axes of the five-axis machining center (two linear and one rotary) to improve the quality of the machined surface considering differences in the servo characteristics of the three axes during the actual process. Experimental results showed that using the proposed method with an outside approach path for the machining tool greatly reduced the shape error. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by using a wireless Internet of Things holder to monitor the machining force.

Five-axis machine with rotary-tilting spindle head (RTSH) is always used for sculptured surface machining, and the tool-tip dynamics in various machining postures along the tool path directly affect the machining accuracy and stability. To rapidly evaluate the tool-tip dynamics at different postures during the structural design of tool-spindle-spindle head (TSSH) assembly, this paper proposes a coupled dynamic model of tool-spindle-bearing system (TSBS) and RTSH. The model is a rigid-flexible multibody dynamic model with 36 degrees-of-freedom (DOFs), where in the rotary shaft, swivel shaft and housing are treated as rigid bodies; the tool, tool holder, and spindle shaft are modeled by reduced beams; the bearings and flexible joints are modeled as spring-damping elements. The fully Cartesian coordinates and Lagrangian method are employed to deduce a general parametric dynamic equation. The analytical method for calculating the contact stiffness of bearings and flexible joints is systematically presented, including tool-holder joint, holder-spindle joint, spindle bearings, hirth coupling, and the bearings and locking joints of rotary and swivel shafts. The model is verified by the frequency response functions (FRFs) testing and modal testing at different postures. The experimental results show that the proposed model can be used for accurate and efficient evaluation of the tool-tip FRFs, natural frequencies and mode shapes of TSSH at an arbitrary posture.
