| Shrnutí: | A mill—turn machine combining a lathe and machining centre can perform
turning and milling operations on the same machine. It can machine a workpiece
in one set-up and eliminate errors that can be produced by moving the workpiece
between turning and milling machines. Since the mill—turn machine has
a complex configuration in which linear and rotary movements are non-orthogonal,
generating the part program manually is almost impossible. This work develops an
interface called a postprocessor that converts cutter location data generated by
a general commercial computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) system into the numerical control (NC) data dedicated for the
mill—turn machine. The form-shaping function matrix of the
mill—turn machine, which describes the motion trajectory of tool
points relative to the workpiece, is derived by the homogeneous coordinate
transformation matrix. The complete analytical equations for NC data are
obtained through a form-shaping function matrix and inverse kinematics. A
window-based postprocessor system written in Borland C++
Builder and OpenGL was developed according to the proposed algorithm. Solid
cutting simulation software is utilized to verify the effectiveness of the
proposed algorithm. |
