This study proposes a path generation technique for simultaneous five-axis driving for ball bar measurement, which is equivalent to cone frustum machining as mentioned in the NAS979 standard. The technique is generalized for a 3D circular path, and it is applicable to all machine tools regardless of their structural configurations. A mathematical machine input model that consists of a five-axis machine tool, ball-bar measurement and conical path information as inputs is presented for easy NC code generation, simulation for various test conditions, and a measurement test. The movement range of rotary axes, which depends on various conditions, is mathematically analyzed based on the proposed conical path model. Moreover, the effect of the movement range on various conditions (apex angle and inclination angle, ball bar tilting acceptance angle, offset position of workpiece ball, etc.) is analyzed.

Circular path generation for ball bar measurement using the simultaneous movement of two axes with at least one rotary axis requires the execution of CAM software. However, a change in the machine type or measurement condition requires a new execution of the CAM software, which is cumbersome. This paper presents a circular path generation technique that does not require CAM software and is applicable to different types of driving axes with an arbitrary structural configuration of machine tools and any ball bar setup condition. Mathematical equations are derived for three cases using the proposed technique. In addition, to inspect the measurement feasibility for avoiding physical interference among the ball bar parts, a tilting angle calculation is proposed. The validity of the proposed technique was verified by performing a ball bar experiment with A and C as the simultaneous axes of a five-axis machine tool.

In order to improve in quality and productivity using the CNC machine tools, it has been endeavored to elevate production process by adding supplementary axes(2 axes) to 2,3 axial CNC machine tools. It is because the movement between the progress of work in processed goods is remarkably decreased more than that of general CNC machine tools that productivity improvement with precision maintenance can be improved. VBScript in CAD/CAM is applied to utilize CNC machine tools added supplementary axes so that Multi-axial &Multi-process manufacturin g program can be conveniently drawn up. However, there is generally much skilful work and operation by the manual program of CAD(2.5D) and CNC machine tools in the filed. As a result of conducting an experiment by COM-filing VBScript at the spot of Insert Tip for milling Face Cutter in CAD/CAM Software(2.5D), it was not only timesaving to draw up program but also more convenient than complicated Multi CAD/CAM Software to approach and possible to program various products instantaneously.

5축 가공기는 가공중의 공구자세 변화를 요구하는 복잡한 산업형상의 가공, 혹은 경사 가공을 통한 표면조도 향상등의 목적으로 채용되는 첨예의 공작기계로서 이를 지원하는 CAM연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 산업현장에서 흔히 5축 가공기로 일컬어지는 상당수의 5축 가공기는 기구축은 5축을 가지나, 동기제어 축수는 3측인 “선택적 3/5축 가공기”의 형태로서 진정한 의미의 5축가공기와는 근본적으로 다르다. 5축 동기제어를 지원하는 CAM연구는 부분적으로 연구 개발된 상태이나, 선택적 3/5축을 지원하는 CAM 이론은 연구된 바 없으며, 이에 따라 현장에서는 공작물의 셋업을 변경시키는 소위 자동 인덱싱 방식으로 활용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구팀에서는 선택적 3/5축 가공기에서 5축 가공을 실현할 수 있는 공구경로 산출 및 제어알고리즘을 개발하고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 (5축 가공 대비) 선택적 3/5축 가공문제의 이론적 특성과 경사가공을 수행하기 위한 알고리즘을 소개하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 유효성을 보인다.

A 5-axis CNC machine tool is more useful compared with a 3-axis machine tool, because the position and the orientation of a tool tip can be controlled simultaneously. Unlike the 3-axis machine tool, the 5-axis machine tool has the volumetric position error and volumetric orientation error due to the quasi-static error of each machine tool joint which is a major source of machined part error. So, the generalized error synthesis model of the 5-axis CNC machine tool was developed to predict and to compensate for the volumetric position error and the volumetric orientation error. It was proposed that a compensation algorithm to correct simultaneously the volumetric position error and the volumetric orientation error of the 5-axis CNC machine by error inverse kinematic.

Recently, a demand for precision 5-axis machine tools is significantly increasing, and the maintenance of machine tool accuracy becomes more important. it is very difficult to evaluate to accuracy of 5-axis M/C in the production site since it needs expensive measuring equipment and skilled engineer. On the other hand, evaluation items of 5-axis M/C are not systematically organized in the existing KS and ISO standards. In this study, the evaluation items for 5-axis M/C were derived systematically and a test workpiece was developed to evaluate the machine tool accuracy more easily. The error sources of machine tool can be estimated by machining and measuring of the test workpiece. The correlation between the machine tool accuracy and the accuracy of machined test workpiece was analyzed. As a result, the accuracy of machined test workpiece represented the accuracy of machine tool and the error sources very effectively.

기술과 과학이 끊임없이 발달되고 있는 가운데 생산기술과 생산공업도 비약적으로 발달되고 있다. 공작기계에 대한 요구사항은 일반적으로 고정도화, 고속도화 그리고 고능률화 나아가서는 자동화이다. 다시 말해서 더욱 좋은 품질(고정도화)과 저렴한 가격(고능률화)의 제품을 빨리 사용자에게 공급(고속화)할 수 있고, 다양한 제품을 만들 수 있는 공작기계가 요구되는 것이다. 고능률화 또는 고속화를 위해서는 고속절삭가공을 실현해야하며 그러기 위해서는 Spindle(주축)의 회전수를 높이고 각 축의 이송 속도가 빨라야 되며 절삭 이송을 고속화하여야 한다. 그리고, 머시닝센터에서는 공구를 자동으로 교환하는(ATC)을 신속히 해야 한다. 이와 같은 고속 공작기계에 대한 요구는 점점 많아지고 있으며 공작기계전시회가 열릴때마다 고속도화는 점점 진전되고 있다. 최근에는 주축의 회전수가 10,000$min^{-1}$은 보통이고 최고 40,000$min^{-1}$이상에 도달하고 있다.
