NC machining of large screw which is usually used as a part in an extruder for injection molding is done on 3-axis turning machine, and it is very time-consuming process. Not only in machining but in preparing part program for a NC machine, it requires very long time because the shape of the screw is not easy to model when using an existing general CAD/CAM software even though it is workstation level software. In addition, tool path generation procedure for NC turning for screw shape is also very tedious one because large amount of data for cutter location point must be produced and there is no specific CAM software for the machining. In this paper. development of a CAM system for screw machining which saves the role of CAD software by use of menu driven data input system for various screw shapes is introduced.

Developed in this research is a CAM system for 5-axis NC Machining of sculptured surfaces. We identify problems in generating 5-axis NC data and propose methods of overcoming them. Issues discussed in this paper are: kinematic modelling of NC machines; determination of cutter position (location and orientation); check of machine work-range; linear trajectory plann- ing ; calculation of feedrate number. The proposed system has been implemented in FORTRAN77 on the Personal IRIS EWS, and it also constitutes a module of the CAD/CAM system 'CASSET' developed in KIST CAD/CAM lab.

In this paper, an NC data optimization approach for enhancing 5-axis machining speed is presented. It is usual to use expensive commercial CAD/CAM programs for NC data of 5-axis machining, since it needs very large calculations for optimal tool positioning and orientation, tool path planning, and collision-free tool path generation. Since commercial CAD/CAM systems have similar functions and efficiency based on common algorithms of reliable theories, they do not have their own unique features for machining speed and efficiency. In other words, most commercial CAD/CAM systems consider only the characteristics of part geometry to be machined, which means that they generate almost the same NC data if the part to be machined is the same, even though different machines are used for the pin. A new approach is proposed for optimizing NC data of 5-axis machining, which is based on the characteristics of the machine to be operated. As a result, the speed of 5-axis machining can increase without losing machining accuracy and surface quality.

This study deals with the development of CAM system which can machine and measure any shape of mold and die by machining center and coordinate measureing machine . The overall goal of the CAM system is to achieve the mold and die machining , from digitizing through to final cutting. The hardware of the system comprises PC and machining center. CMM. There are three steps in the mold and die machining. (1) measuring of physical model by the CMM, (2) geometric modeling by the CAD system, (3) generation of NC code by the tool path compensated for tool radius. It is developed a software package, with which can conduct a micro CAM system in the PC without economical burden.

CAD/CAM system may have such advantages of cost reduction, production time shortening, and product quality improvement. But current advanced versions of CAD/CAM system for 3-D NC data generation are too much expensive to purchase and too difficult to make full use for small-scale manufacturers whose main products are of 2-D simple shapes. The objective of this paper is to introduce a cost-effective way to 2-D NC data generation with a widely spread CAD software. Using VISUAL LISP in the well-known AUTO-CAD, the contents and steps of an automatic NC data generation program are presented for 2-D machining of contours and pockets. To approve the usefulness of program, a test application to a real part is exhibited also.

In this paper, we develop a six-axes machining center tool(MCT) and CAD/CAM system. The MCT consists of two mechanical parts, i.e., a X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinate typed MCT and a parallel-typed tilting table. Kinematics and singularity are accomplished to design the parallel-typed tilting table, and CAD/CAM system is developed for the six-axes MCT, which requires the commands of position as well as orientation for machining of complex shape. The CAD/CAM system has a tool path generator, a NC code generator and a graphic simulator. This paper designs the parallel-typed tilting table to meet the desired specification and presents the results of tool path, NC code and graphic simulation.

여러대의 CNC Controller를 DNC(Direct Numerical Control) Network Infra를 구축하기 위한 프로그램을 효율적으로 하기 위해 현재 많은 시스템들이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 시스템들은 원거리 상의 서버 컴퓨터와 머시닝 센터간의 상호 연결이 원만하지 않아 작업에 비효율적인 면이 있고, 또 머시닝 센터에서의 데이터 송·수신에서 일어나는 오류 문제에 대한 시스템으로의 적절한 대처를 할 수가 없다는 문제점이 있다. 그래서, 본 논문에서는 Multi DNC system을 통해 CNC(Computer Numerical Control) 컨트롤러에서 CAD/CAM 서버 컴퓨터의 데이터를 오류 없이 수신 가능한 데이터 원격 제어 시스템을 구성하고자 하였다. 이 데이터 원격 제어 시스템의 주요 장점으로는 머시닝 센터에서 운영자가 쉽게 CAD/CAM 서버 컴퓨터에 저장된 NC 데이터 호출과 송출이 자유롭고, 서버 컴퓨터와 공작기계간의 상호 대화가 없이도 머시닝센터에서의 원격 제어가 가능하다.
