Abstract
While multi-axis machining is an advanced tecluiology for dealing with complex shaped parts with a four or five-axis CNC machine, its application is very limited due to the large amount of investment in practice. The Additional-axis method, typically obtained by attaching rotary/tilt table to the existing three-axis machine, is a powerful alternative to the problem while achieving multi-axis machining. In this research, we attempt to establish a theoretical background and implementation methodology for achieving the genuine multi-axis NC system. The research is composed of : a) the hardware setup for implementing the additional-axis NC system, b) an interface study for implementing multi-axis machining with the hardware configuration, c) versatile CL-data generation algorithms for NC machining, and d) implementation of the algorithms to develop multi-axis CAM system for the additional-axis NC system. Together with a detailed presentation on the above enabling the additional-axis machining system, we will show that the additional-axis system can be effectively used for five-axis machining through two specific application examples.
