CC Path Generation Method Based on Cutting Shape of Flat-End Cutter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The calculating algorithm for Cutter Contacting (CC) paths is proposed in this article to enhance machining precision of complex surfaces with a flat-end cutter. With the style of coordinate transformation, effective cutting shape and equavellent machining radius of a flat-end cutter had been calculated and deduced, and the step-over distance formed by two adjacent CC paths were also obtained. The corresponding NURBS path of tool center points including knot vector and controlling points was obtained from the cutter contacting points.The parameter increment along the CC path interval direction was calculated by using geometric analysis of the local area of CC point.
