The toolpath generation for 3D shaped parts with adaptive isocurve is more precise than existing methods, and the machining time can be reduced. Whether adaptive isocurves are inserted or not is determined by the surface shape, but the number of curves inserted and the total path length vary with initial step lengths. In this paper, therefore, by introducing the concept of the scale factor into the initial path interval ; toolpath was regenerated.

In this paper, laser direct micromaching is developed to fabricate micro patterns using UV laser ( λ$_3$= 355 nm). Experimentally, laser beam paths mainly influences the surface shape quality. Thus. we proposed laser beam path generator by extracting shape data in a blueprint worked through CAD modeler and using genetic algorithm that considers the characteristics of laser beam. The results show that various shapes of micro patterns could be manufactured using proposed method in this paper.

가장 대표적인 공작기계인 선반은 가공물에대한 바이트의 이송운동에따라 여러가지 종류의 가공물을 효과적으로 절삭할 수 있기 때문에 절삭 가공에 널리사용된다. 특히, 기계요소로 많이 사용되는 회전체의 절삭에 필요하므로 가장 먼저자동화가 요구되는 분야이다. 그러므로, 보다 효율적인 자동절삭의 목표를 달성하기위한 기초작업으로서 현재의 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 PC 사용을 전제로 소수의 입력 정보로부터 자동으로 최적의 가공계획 수립을 위한 프로그램의 개발을 목표로 먼저 준비단계로 임의의 외경절삭용 자동 가공계획 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 작업자의 자료입력을 최소화 했으며 이 입력자료를 토대로 자동으로 절삭공구의 가공경로 및 절삭에 필요한 자료를 생성하고 가공 전과정을 컴퓨터 그래픽으로 처리하여 사용자의 이해 를 돕도록 하였다. 이러한 기능은 컴퓨터 기억장치를 통하여 저장하고 그장된 자료를 NC code화 하거나 직접 PC로 부터 NC 기계를 구동하면 가공에 관하여 극히 초보자인 경우도 실제 가공을 수 행할 수 있다. 참고로 본 프로그램은 개인용 컴퓨터에서 사용을 전제로 프로그램언어는 Fortran, 그래픽 Library로 Halo를 이용하였고사용자의 이해를 보다 높이기 위하여 EGA Color Monitor를 채택하였다.

This paper presents a laser cutting of 2D image. 2D image in pixel graphic format is converted into vector graphic image by image processing. Bitmap graphics are made easily, but can not being used in application works for geometry transition. The Sobel's Edge detection method is used to find boundary points on 2D image. The points are fitted into curves with sampling and filtering. Sampling can provide efficient computation and filtering reconstuct features in image. The NC code is generated on MURBS curve of the points. Also, the offset of contour and cutting conditions are considered.

This study proposes a path generation technique for simultaneous five-axis driving for ball bar measurement, which is equivalent to cone frustum machining as mentioned in the NAS979 standard. The technique is generalized for a 3D circular path, and it is applicable to all machine tools regardless of their structural configurations. A mathematical machine input model that consists of a five-axis machine tool, ball-bar measurement and conical path information as inputs is presented for easy NC code generation, simulation for various test conditions, and a measurement test. The movement range of rotary axes, which depends on various conditions, is mathematically analyzed based on the proposed conical path model. Moreover, the effect of the movement range on various conditions (apex angle and inclination angle, ball bar tilting acceptance angle, offset position of workpiece ball, etc.) is analyzed.

Tool path generation is a part of process planning in 3D printing. This is done before actual printing by a computer rather than an AM machine. The mesh geometry of the 3D model is sliced layer-by-layer along the Z-axis and tool paths are generated from the sliced layers. Each 2-dimensional layer can have two types of printing paths: (i) shell and (ii) infill. Shell paths are made of offset loops. During shell generation, twists can be produced in offset loops which will cause twisted tool paths. As a twisted tool path cannot be printed, it is necessary to remove these twists during process planning. In this research, An algorithm is presented to remove twists from the offset loops. To do so the path segments are traversed to identify twisted points. Outer offset loops are represented in the counter-clockwise segment order and clockwise rotation for the inner offset loop to decide which twisted loop should be removed. After testing practical 3D models, the proposed algorithm is verified to use in tool path generation for 3D printing.

In this research, we describe teaching based sweeping control for grinder robot has been proposed as a system which is suitable to work utilizing pressure sensitive alternative to human. Teaching method is used for grinder robots operations because of their position accuracy, path accuracy, and machining reaction force. A grinder robot for two-dimensional iron plate was developed on the basis of an force sensor based teaching method. An automatic-path-generation method and experimental results using specific points was adopted to reduce the number of teaching points and time. And also, in order to determine the proper machining conditions, various machining conditions such as grinder-wheel rotation speed and robot moving speed, were evaluated.

In this paper, the CL surface transformation approach that inversely deforms the 3-axis tool path generated on the deformed CL surface to a 5-axis tool path is introduced. The proposed CL surface transformation approach can be used if the orientation of the cutter is predefined. The CL surface based 3-axis tool path generation algorithms that have been improved well can be applied to the f-axis tool path generation.

This paper presents rough cutting pat고 drilling. This method has differences from conventional method which uses boundary curve by intersecting object to machine and each cutting plane. Die-cavity shape is drilled in z-map, we select various tool and remove much material in the short time. as a result, this method raise productivity. The major challenges in die-cavity pocketing include : 1)finding an inscribed circle for removing material of unmachined regions, 2) selecting optimal tool and efficiently arranging tool, 3) generating offset surface of shape, 4) determining machined width according to the selected tool, 5) detecting and removing unmachined regions, and 6) linking PJE(path-joining element). Conventional machining method calling contour-map is compared with drilling method using Z-map, for finding efficiency in the view of productivity.
