We introduce a novel approach for generating constant scallop height tool paths. We derive a Riemannian metric tensor from curvature tensors of a part surface and a tool surface. Then, we construct geodesic parallels from the newly constructed metric. Those geodesic parallels constitute an asymptotically-correct family of constant scallop height tool paths.

Pocket machining is metal removal operation commonly used for creating depressions in machined parts. Numerically controlled milling is the primary means for machining complex die surface. These complex surfaces are generated by a milling cutter which removes material as it traces out pre-specified tool paths. To machine, a component on a CNC machine, part programs which define the cutting tool path are needed. This tool path is usually planned from CAD, and converted to a CAM machine input format. In this paper I proposed a new method for generating NC tool paths. This method generates automatically NC tool paths with dynamic elimination of machining errors in 2$\frac{1}{2}$ arbitrary shaped pockets. This paper generates a spiral-like tool path by dynamic computing optimal pocket of the pocket boundary contour based on the type and size of the milling cutter, the geometry of the pocket contour and surface finish tolerance requirements. This part programming system is PC based and simultaneously generates a G-code file.

Recently, for enhanced productivity the induction of CAD/CAM is vigorous. Most of high-level CAD/CAM systems produce powerful faculties. But it is very expensive to purchase the system in small and difficult to be operated by non-experienced workers effectively. Then the resonable CAM system for these is needed. In this study we developed a proto-type of the CAM system for CNC lathe connecting with personal computer. This system is configured with interactive menu windows for easy control of CNC lathe. And the system supports tool path generation for cutting conditions of workpiece. The performance of this system is satisfactory.

The purpose of this study is to improve the machining of free-formed NURBS surfaces using newly defined G-codes which can directly deal with shapes defined from CAD/CAM programs on a surface basis and specialize in rough and finish cut. To this purpose, a NURBS surface interpolation system is proposed in this paper. The proposed interpolation system includes online tool-path planning, real-time interpolation and feedrate regulation considering an effective machining method and minimum machining time all suitable for unit NURBS surface machining. The corresponding algorithms are simultaneously executed in an online manner. The proposed NURBS surface interpolation system is integrated and implemented with a PC-based 3-axis CNC milling system. A graphic user interface (GUI) and a 3D tool-path viewer which interprets the G-codes for NURBS surfaces and displays whole tool-paths are also developed and included in our real-time control system. The proposed system is evaluated through actual machining in terms of size of NC data, machining time, regulation of feedrate and cutting force focused on finish cut in comparison with the existing method.

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 CAD systems, a surface to be machined is expressed by a series of curves, such as B-spline, Bezier and NURBS curves, which compose the surface and then in CAM systems the curves are divided into a large number of line or arc segments. These divided movement commands, however, cause many problems including their excessive size of NC data that makes almost impossible local adjustment or modification of the surface. To cope with those problems, the necessity of real-time curve or surface interpolators was embossed. This paper presents an efficient real-time tool-path generation method fur interpolation of NURBS surfaces in CNC machining. The proposed tool-path generation method is based on an improved iso-scallop strategy and can provide better precision than the existing methods. The proposed method is designed such that tool-path planning is easily managed in real-time. It proposed a new algorithm for regulation of a scallop height, which can efficiently generate tool-paths and can save machining time compared with the existing method. Through computer simulations, the performance of the proposed method is analyzed and compared with the existing method in terms of federate, total machining time and a degree of constraint on the scallop height.

In this paper, a NURBS surface interpolator is proposed which can deal with shapes defined from CAD/CAM programs on a surface basis and can improve contour accuracy. The proposed interpolator is based on newly defined G-codes and includes online tool-path planning suitable for NURBS surface machining. The real-time interpolation algorithm, considering an effective machining method for each machining process and minimum machining time, is executed in an online manner. The proposed interpolator is implemented on a PC-based 3-axis CNC milling system and evaluated through actual machining in terms of machining time and regulation of feedrate and cutting force in comparison with the existing method.
