Abstract
Curved parts are widely used in aerospace, automotive and energy industries. The profile and thickness accuracy are both critical to some curved parts such as hollow blades. Improving the profile accuracy while ignoring the wall thickness error will reduce the qualified rate of these curved parts, and vice versa. This paper proposes a comprehensive compensation method with constraints of both profile and thickness tolerances for the machining of curved parts. The actual geometry and wall thickness of the parts are obtained by on-machine measurement system after rough machining. Both touch-trigger probe and thickness gage are used to reconstruct the actual outer and inner surface of the workpiece. Then, the comprehensive constraint considering both profile and thickness constraints is established based on the reconstructed workpiece geometry. With the comprehensive constraint, a new target outer surface is constructed. The machining error is calculated from the target surface and compensated via toolpath adjustment. At last, machining experiments are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
