Abstract

As 3D solid modeling prevails, a range of applications have become possible and intensive research on the integration of CAD/CAM has been conducted. As a consequence, methods to recognize the machining features from CAD models have been developed. On the other hand, generating a machining sequence using the machining features is still a problem due to a combinatorial problem with a large number of machining features. This paper proposes a new method that utilizes the precedence constraints through which the number of the combinations is reduced drastically. This method can automatically generate machining sequences requiring the lowest amount of machining time. An airplane part was used to test the usefulness of the proposed method.

3차원 솔리드모델링이 일반화되면서 이를 이용한 여러 응용이 가능해졌으며, 가장 대표적인 응용분야인 CAM과의 통합을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 그 결과 설계된 부품의 CAD모델로부터 실제가공에 필요한 특징형상을 자동으로 인식하는 기술들이 개발되었다. 하지만 이러한 방법으로 인식된 특징형상들을 이용하여 절삭가공순서 등을 자동으로 생성하기 위해서는 고려하여야 할 가공순서의 조합의 수가 너무 많아 이를 구현하기에는 현실적으로 문제가 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 절삭가공에 관련된 규칙을 수집하고 이를 이용하여 특징형상 간 가공우선순위를 적용함으로써 고려하여할 조합의 수를 대폭 감소시키고, 이들 조합으로부터 효율성을 최대화 하는 가공순서를 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 항공기 부품에 대한 테스트를 통하여 20개의 특징형상으로부터 가공시간이 적은 가공순서를 자동으로 생성할 수 있었다.
