Free-form surfaces arise in shipbuilding, automotive and aerospace industries. Specially compound free-form surfaces so do. Machining complicated products consist of compound surface, it is very important to avold and remove tool interferences. By the way, in compound surfaces the tool interference can occur not only in the tool path direction but also in the other direction. A new tool interference detection and correction using tool interference conditions is suggested to identify and correct the tool interference in compound surfaces.

Compound surface modeling is widely used for die cavities and punches. A compound surface is defined in 3-D space by specifying the topological relationship of several anlytic surface elements and a sculptured surface. A constructive solid gemonetry scheme is employed to model the analytic compound surface. the desired compound surface can be accomplished by specifying topological reationship in terms of boolean relations between pimitives and the sculptured surfaces. Additionally, a method is presented for checking and avoiding the tool interference occuued in machining the compound surface. Using this method. the interference of concave, convex, and side region can be checked easily and avoided rpapidly.

Tool interference is one of the most critical problems in sculptured surface machining. When machining cavities and concaves, the tool frequently overcuts the portions of the surface, which cause inaccuracy in machining. So tool interference-free paths must be generated for rough cutting more efficiently. In this paper a software using SSI(Surface/Surface intersection) algorithm is developed for eliminating tool interference which occurs in an offset surface in 3-dimensional free form surface modeling. this work consists of two stages : using the offset data, the intersection curves are rapidly checked by this algorithm at the first stage. CL(cutter location) data are obtained by deleting the loop section of intersected offset patches at the second stage. This algorithm can reduce the amount of memory required to store machining data and also easily check region which have the possibility of intersection. Also, This software is verified to be useful in machining a curved object on a DNC milling machine.

본 논문에서는 복합형상의 금형을 가공하기 위하여 필요한 공구와 가공경로를 자동으로 생성해 주는 자동공정계획(CAPP)방법을 제시한다. 금형곡면은 일반적으로 복잡한 형상의 자유곡면들의 조합으로 이루어 지는데 육면체 형상의 소재로부터 원하는 금형곡면을 가공하는데는 수십시간의 기계가공 시간이 소요되며 또한 NC Code를 준비하는데도 같은정도의 시간이 소요된다. 금형곡면의 NC가공에 있어서 또다른 어려움은 공구의 과부하와 공구간섭이 빈번하게 발생할 수 있다는 점이다. 제안하는 자동공정계획방법은 전처리, 공정계획, 공구경로 생성의 3단계로 구성된다. 자동공정계획시스템의 입력정보는 1) 생성될 곡면형상 2) 가공할 소재형상 3) 가공공구 셀(드릴, 볼 엔드밀, 플렛 엔드밀), 절삭성 데이타등이다. 전처리 단계에서는 곡면모델러로부터 생성된 입력 형상을 Z-map이라 부르는 자료구조로 변환한다. 두번째 단계에서는 절삭 가공작업의 순서가 사용되는 공구와 함께 후방순환법에 의하여 결정된다. 그리고 실제 가공될 NC공구경로가 마지막 세번째 단계에서 생성된다.

A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current rolling process is substituted with the milling process. Since the milling process enables the integration of all operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. In this study, the tooling system for side milling on a CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the cutting tool-workpiece interference is important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms. For adaptability of various worms machining, the tool-workpiece interference simulation system based on a tool-tip trajectory model is developed. The developed simulation system is verified through several kinds of worms and experimental results.

Tool interference is one of the most critical problems in machining die cavities and punches. When machining concave or convex regions of cavities with large radius tool in rough cutting, the tool easily overcuts or undercuts the portions of the surface, which result in machining inaccuracy. So the generation of interference-free tool path must be required for more efficient rough cutting. In this paper, we present a method for modeling die cavities which consist of simple surface or analytic compoyund surfaces and present an algorithm for checking and removing the tool interference occurred in machining the die cavities. Using these algorithms, we can represent a die cavity, and check the interfer- ence regions, and then remove these interferences. Especially we focus on the side interference in the sides of analytic elements and base surface boundary.

In machining screws which are important members in mono pumps or progressive cavity pumps CNC turning center with 3 axes is usually used. This sort of screw machining requires large amount of CL data points and rotational tools are used in machining. When working out the CL data points consideration of possible tool interference is important in order to avoid undercut. This paper describes the checking methods of tool interference in the screw machining on the CNC turning center. First of all a specific shape of a screw cross-section that could commonly be applied to all screws was chosen and then possible tool interference associated with that shape was identified. Checking method was mathematically developed and verified. This checking method will be utilized in the CAM system developed by the authors for screw machining on the 3-axis CNC turning center.
