5-Axis Tool Positioning via RFIM Strategy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new strategy for 5-axis NC machining called Rotate-For-Intersect Machining (RFIM) was presented in this paper. The cutter was settled by two cutter contact points and in order to obtain optimized tool position and orientation, grid point method and bi-section method ware utilized in searching cutter’s rotate angle and tilt angle. Finally the algorithm was implemented on UG platform following further development and the effectiveness of the method was validated.
