Patent number: 9785137Abstract: This invention provides a novel tool path planning method for five-axis flank milling by imposing the constraints of curve interpolation on the tool path. The tool motion is described in the form of spline curves during its optimization-driven calculation process, instead of discrete cutter locations in CNC linear interpolation. The coefficients of the curve equations are generated by minimizing accumulated geometrical errors on the machined surface using optimization algorithms. The continuity imposed by the spline motion reduces uneven modifications of cutter locations during the optimization process. The resultant tool path yields superior.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: NATIONAL TSING HUA UNIVERSITYInventors: Chih-Hsing Chu, Hsin-Ta Hsieh

Publication number: 20130144425Abstract: The present invention discloses a five-axis flank milling system for machining a curved surface and a tool-path planning method. The method generates a tool path comprising a series of cutter locations by optimization with minimizing machining errors. The tool path planning method includes a reciprocating tool path planning method and a multi-pass tool path planning method. The reciprocating tool path planning method eliminates the “forward only” limitation. The tool is allowed to move backward in certain regions, producing smaller machining errors compared with forward only cutter movement. Furthermore, the multi-pass tool path planning method computes various tool paths applied to finish milling multiple times. Each path can be chosen to be generated by minimizing undercut error, overcut error, or the total machining error. The machining errors are reduced in a progressive manner, resulting in better machining quality than single pass tool path.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2012Publication date: June 6, 2013Applicant: NATIONAL TSING HUA UNIVERSITYInventors: Chih-Hsing Chu, Hsin-Ta Hsieh
