A New Compensation Method for Multi-Choice of a Five-Axis Machine with a Tilting Head

Abstract:

Postprocess capable of converting the cutter location data to machine control data is an important interface between the NC programming design and manufacture.Due to the fact that current research on multi-axis postprocess methods mostly deals with machine tool configurations whose linear and rotational movements are orthogonal, an efficient postprocess algorithm for the five-axis machine with a tilting head is presented in this paper.DMU 80P which is a five-axis machine with a tilting head is selected as an example.Its mechanism model is proposed in this paper according to the mechanism theory.The kinematics model is established using coordinate transformation,and the solution of this model is discussed.Based on these,a window-based post-processor with multi-choice function was developed by VS2010 language.Through the verification by the commercial solid cutting software VERICUT,the feasibility of the algorithm proposed is demonstrated.At last,a real impeller cutting experiment has been conducted and the result further verifies the correctness of the algorithm.
