Real-Time Generation of Cutter Location Curves for Pen-Cutting of Sculptured Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

An algorithm is proposed on the real-time generation of cutter location curves for pen-cutting of sculptured surface. First of all, the parameter of driving curves can be calculated based on Taylor series expansion according the kinematics and geometric relation between cutter contact loci and driving curves. Cutter contact points on the surface can be achieved. Then cubic B-spline curves are used to fit the ideal cutter location curves. Examples and analysis results have indicated that the algorithm can realize the regeneration of tool path, simplifying the NC programming and improving the precision of sculptured surface machining.
