Postprocessor of 5-Axis Non-Orthogonal Machining Center

Abstract:

The 5-aix machining postprocessor of non-orthogonal machine tool is difficult to develop. On the analysis of characteristics of non-orthogonal machining center with dual worktables and 5-axis milling programming, a postprocessing algorithm of 5-axis milling is presented. Based on the algorithm, a postprocessor is developed by Visual C++ to convert tool path file to G-code file. For tentative validation of the postprocessor, a simulation model of the machine is established by Ver-icut to simulate G-code files created by the program. Finally a test workpiece is machined, which confirms the validity of the postprocessor.
