Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The aim of this paper is to propose a pocketing tool path improvement method by adapting the geometry of the tool path to the kinematic performance of high speed machining machine tools. The minimization of the machining time is a major objective, which should be taken into account for the tool path computation. In this way the tool path length can be reduced or the real feedrate increased. The described method proposes modification of the values of the corner radii in order to increase real feedrate. In the same way, this method checks the radial depth of cut variations along the tool path. The computed tool path presents a smaller length and the machine tool produces a higher average feedrate at the same time. In addition, the use of Bspline for the tool path computation is a significant improvement compared with straight lines and circle arcs for the machining time reduction. Several tests are realized on various machine tools in order to quantify the benefits: the proposed method can reduce the machining time by approximately 25% compared with classical tool paths computed using a CAM system.
