This paper deals with the problem of determining small-bands enclosing a given set of points on the sphere. The small-band is a spherical region, whose boundary is composed of two circles, and which does not contain any great circle. It is a kind of domains that is derived from formalizing the local accessibility problems for 3-axis NC machining into sperical containment problems so as to avoid the grouping. It also can be generated in 4- and 5-axis machine. When a set of points U and the size of a great-band are given, the methods for computing a feasible band and all feasible bands enclosing U in O(n) and O(n log n) time have been suggested, respectively. The methods can be applied into the cases of small bands since the solution region may contain holes. In this paper, we concentrate on the method for determining the smallest small-band enclosing U and suggest an O(n long n) time algorithm, where n is the number of points on the sphere.

Five-Axis machines can generate undesirable defects such as the undercutting and overcutting errors that frequently occur in the three-axis machining process. It is therefore necessary to develop a program for NC-code generation, whereby the cutter posture is considered to decrease the occurrence of defects. In previous studies, the Easy-Impeller CAM(E-ICAM), an automatic CAM program used for the five-axis machining of impellers, was developed; however, when E-ICAM is used to machine an impeller, it is possible to gouge the hub and blade. Therefore, the aim of this study is the establishment of a formula for each type of endmill to minimize gouging according to the cutter posture, in consideration of several factors that affect accuracy in the machining of an impeller. This study also aimed to improve the performance and accuracy of E-ICAM in the manufacturing of impellers.

This paper presents a method fur impeller modeling and 5-axis machining by the reverse engineering. The impeller is composed of pressure surface, suction surface and leading edge, and so on. The surfaces can be modeled by using the characteristic curves such as hub curves, shroud curves and fillet curves. The characteristic curves are extracted from the scanned data and the inspection is performed between the surfaces generated by using the characteristic curves and the scanned data. Then, An impeller is machined by 5-axis mainlining and post-processing with inverse kinematic solution.

The impeller is modeled by using the characteristic curves of impeller such as hub curves, shroud curves and leading edge. The characteristic curves are extracted from the scanned data. The hub curves and shroud curves are generated by intersection between blade surface and hub boundary and shroud boundary. respectively. A sample impeller machining is performed by tool path plan and post-processing with inverse kinematic solution.

For developing 5-axis laser cutting systems, many problems such as rotating of laser head or table, 5-axis tool path generation and collision avoidance between laser head and product should be solved. In this paper, a five-axis laser cutting machine with table swivel and rotary type configuration is developed. The five axes (X,Y,Z,A,B) are controlled and interfaced to PC via MMC board. Two kinds of CAM S/W such as commercial 5-axis CAM S/W(Euclid) and UG-API are engaged to generate NC code for the developed 5-axis laser cutting machine.

The purpose of this research is to develop a method for cutting non-circular holes on a bent thick plate. Generally in order to cut the holes on the large plates, a special-purpose 5-axis machine is needed. However, such a machine is unavailable in most of the machine shops. This paper provides a description of such a method that utilizes a general-purpose 5-axis water-jet machine in place of the special-purpose machine: First, the bent piece is transformed into a flat plate, where the shape of the holes is reconstructed by considering deformation during bending. Then, after a 5-axis NC data is generated, the holes on the flat plate are cut using the 5-axis water-jet machine. The final step is to return to its, original shape by bending the plate with its newly-cut holes. The proposed methodology is implemented as a dedicated system by customizing a commercial CAD/CAM system. Some illustrations are provided throughout the paper in order to show the validity of the proposed methods and the developed system.

A rotary table is a positioning device used in metalworking for the multiple axes of machine tools, and the utilization trend is increasing with machining efficiency. In the construction of a rotary table, the core technology is a power transfer unit that drives the table, typically a gear type and a roller gear cam type. As the rollers installed on the turret column have rolling movement on the contact surface of the roller gear cam, the roller gear cam type has the advantage of low wear, high load, and fast driving. Therefore, it is currently being replaced by a roller gear cam type. In this study, we researched a 5-axis machining method for the roller gear cam on a rotary table and a new method of applying double roller gear cam curve to reduce the noise and shock between the roller and the cam surface. We implemented the 5-axis machining process in this study using software to generate NC-code and machined the roller gear cams using a Mazak Integrex-200IV. We found that the roller gear cam and turret were able to identify mutual touch status and the noise from the operation of the roller gear cam was substantially reduced.

교육용으로 사용되는 피삭재(소재)는 SM20C, Al6061, 아크릴 등의 소재를 사용한다. SM20C 소재는 탄소강으로서 자격증 시험 및 기능경기대회에서 많이 사용되지만 산업현장에서도 많이 사용된다. Al6061 소재는 탄소강에 비하여 경도가 낮아지고 전성(연성)이 강한 소재이기에 공구의 구성인선이 많이 발생하는 소재 라고 한다. 아크릴 소재를 이용하여 학생들에게 실습지도 하면 어느 부분에서 과다 절삭으로 인하여 진동이 발생하고 공구의 파손이 발생하는 소재이다. 이러한 과정에서 5축장비인 2NC헤드에게 가해지는 충격이 정밀도 제어에는 어느정도 영향을 줄 수 있는지 알아본다. 5축장비의 가장 취약한 부분은 AC축을 제어하는 헤드가 가장 약한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 이 부분의 정밀도 및 누적 공차가 발생할 경우 모든 제품의 정밀도가 떨어지는 현상이 발생한다. 따라서 2NC헤드의 핵심적인 부분, 스핀들 하우징은 Al7075 T6(미국 알코아사) 소재를 사용하고 전체 바디는 FCD450 (구상흑연주철) 사용하여 진행하였다. 이 두가지 소재에서 작용되는 진동 및 절삭 과정에서 힘을 극한조건에서 유한요소 해석으로 적용되는 값을 밝혀 내고자 해석을 진행하였다. 이러한 해석 데이터를 활용하여 학생들이 5축절삭 보다 5축 가공기의 구조를 보고 이해하는데 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

In this study we propose a novel approach with which design engineers can define and design free-from surface more easily. Free-from surface is defined as a parameterics shape which consists of a set of contr ol points. Parametric shape which not only has the advantage of allowing users to perform design changes efficiently, but also provides designers with a natural design environment in which they can do their work more naturally and creatively. The objective of this study is to develop a PC level freeform surface modelling system which explicitly represents information of part geometry. In this study, freeform surface modeling system consist of three modules : freeform surface modeler, input/output modules and interface with Database. In recent year there are increasing demands for the 5-axis machining of a complicated shape. This study is the development of a CAM software system (or NC module) for the 5-axis machining of a general shape with a flat-end mill, a round-end mill, a ball-end mill.
