비구면 거울은 구형 거울보다 무게가 가볍고 성능이 우수하지만, 그 형상을 가공하고 가공 정밀도를 측정하는 것이 어렵다. 특히 위성에 사용되는 대형 조리개 비구면 미러는 높은 정밀도가 필요하고 처리하는 데 시간이 오래 걸린다. 기존의 연마 공정에는 갠트리 구조를 갖는 컴퓨터 수치 제어 공작기계가 사용되고 있으나, 자유도가 부족하여 복잡한 형상을 처리하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 다관절 산업용 로봇을 사용하는 연마 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 공구 경로 생성 프로그램, 실시간 로봇 모니터링 및 제어 프로그램으로 구성되며, 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어와 실제 로봇 작동을 통해 개발된 시스템의 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we present a new method to tool path planning problem for rough cut of pocket milling operations. The key idea is to formulate the tool path problem into a TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem) so that the powerful neural network approach can be effectively applied. Specifically, our method is composed of three procedures: a) discretization of the pocket area into a finite number of tool points, b) neural network approach (called SOM-Self Organizing Map) for path finding, and c) postprocessing for path smoothing and feedrate adjustment. By the neural network procedure, an efficient tool path (in the sense of path length and tool retraction) can be robustly obtained for any arbitrary shaped pockets with many islands. In the postprocessing, a) the detailed shape of the path is fine tuned by eliminating sharp corners of the path segments, and b) any cross-overs between the path segments and islands. With the determined tool path, the feedrate adjustment is finally performed for legitimate motion without requiring excessive cutting forces. The validity and powerfulness of the algorithm is demonstrated through various computer simulations and real machining.

This paper presents an efficient 5-axis roughing method for centrifugal impeller. The efficient roughing is minimization of cutting time through minimizing tool tilting & rotating motions. Roughing tool path plan consists of the three steps. First, machining areas are divided into sub cutting regions using ruling lines. The biggest tool diameter is, then, determined for each region. Finally, tool paths are generated after fixing the tilting and rotating axis of 5-axis machine. Experimental results showed that the proposed roughing plan considering the divided machining regions is more efficient than the conventional methods.

This paper presents an efficient 5-axis roughing method for centrifugal impeller. The efficient roughing is minimization of cutting time through minimizing tool tilting and rotating motions. To minimized cutting time, machining area is divided into sub-cutting regions using control points on hub curves and shroud curves of blade used to design and analyze centrifugal impeller. For sub-cutting regions, diameters of cutting tools are determined as big as possible. Then, tool paths are generated with the tilting axis and rotating axis of 5-axis machine limited and fixed, which can give more efficient machining speed and machining stability than the conventional methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the conventional methods to mill with the only one cutting tool without dividing area and the previous methods to mill with simultaneous 5-axis processing with dividing area.
