A study for a lathe to machine workpieces with noncircular corss-sections is presented. The noncircular cutting is accomplished by controlling the radial tool position synchronized with the revolution angle of spindle. A learning control algorithm is suggested for the toll positioning, of which the control performances are analyzed and simulated on a numerical computer that the effectiveness of the control is convinced. The learning control is tested on a NC-lathe which shows successful results.

For machining auto-mobile cam, the developed biarcs-fitting method eliminates the ridge problems in conventional straight-line fitting approximation or single-arc fitting of curve tool path where it leaves ridges of tool marks on the machined surface of the workpiece. The powerful advantage of this biarc method is demonstrated by applying it to the numerically controlled machining of a curved cam profile, also verified by using a CNC simulating program for auto-mobile cam profile. As a result, this algorithm may be used in CNC milling and turning for cam profile machining with short block line.

In this paper, the automated initial process planning for 3-axis NC machining of sculptured surfaces is persented. The solution algorithms determining three process planning functions, i.e. machining feasibility, setup orientation and feasible machine selection are developed. The machining feasibility is determined by means of BSM(Binary Spherical Map) which derives its solution quickly in algebraic form, and the setup orientation is determined so that the cutting force is minimized. Finally, the feasible machine is determined by computing the minimum motion ranges of each control axisl. The developed algorithms are tested by numerical simulations, convincing they can by readily implemented on the CAD/CAM system as a process planner.

수치제어(Numerical control)의 개념은 1800년대부터 시작되었다. 프랑스의 Joseph Jacquard는 1801년에 구멍을 낸 카드(Perforated cards)를 이용하여 베틀기계에 직물의 모양을 Design하는데 자동적으로 Control 하는 방법을 창조해냈다. 그 후 구멍을 낸 카드를 이용하여 페달을 밟아 얻어진 공기를 Air motor와 Valve 를 조정하므로서 자동적으로 Piano를 연주하게 하는 방법도 역시 수치제어다. 이 NC의 개념이 실제 공작기계 에 적용된 것은 제2차 대전후의 일이다. 미공군(US Air force)에서는 복잡한 형상의 항공기부품가공과 그것을 검사할 검사용 Gauge를 고정밀도로 효율있게 제작할 필요성이 절실해졌다. 미국 Michigan주 Traverse시에 있던 Parsons회사도 Helicopter의 Rotor blade의 윤곽을 정확하게 검사하는 Plate gauge를 가공할 수 있는 기계를 개발하고 있었으며 그 회사의 사장 John T. Parsons씨는 Jig boringmachine을 전자적으로 제어하는 Plate gauge를 가공하는 방법을 미공군에 제안을 하였다. 1948년 미공군에서는 설계번경이 수없이 일어나는 Missile 의 부품을 단시간 내로 제작하기 위해서 Persons사와 기술계약을 맺고 새로운 공작기계 개발에 착수하므로서 NC공작기계 연구를 시작한 역사적인 시발점이 되었다.

DNC(Direct Numerical Control) Network을 위한 프로그램을 효율적으로 하기 위해 현재 많은 시스템들이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 시스템들은 원거리 상의 컴퓨터와 머시닝 센터의 제어기 간의 상호 연결이 원만하지 않아 작업에 비효율적인 면이 있고, 또 머시닝 센터에서의 데이터 송ㆍ수신에서 일어나는 오류 문제에 대한 시스템으로의 적절한 대처를 할 수가 없다는 문제점이 있다. 그래서, 본 논문에서는 DNC Network을 통해 머시닝 센터 제어기에서 컴퓨터의 데이터를 오류 없이 수신 가능한 데이터 원격 제어 시스템을 새로이 구성하였다. 이 데이터 원격 제어 시스템의 주요 장점으로는 기존에 일방향으로 구동되어지던 머시닝센터와 컴퓨터간의 Communication을 머시닝 센터에서 운영자가 자유로이 접근하여 컴퓨터에 저장된 NC 가공 데이터 호출과 송출이 자유롭고, 컴퓨터와 공작기계간의 상호 대화가 없이도 NC 공작기계 상에서 원격 제어(Remote Control)가 가능하다.

The purpose of this study is to describe the strategy of machining process suitable for developing adaptive control with constraint of NC-machine tool. The algorithm that controls machining process parameters of every sampling time is established for the constraint of torque in machinig center. To prove this AC algorithm, manual AC-unit control test is used for simulating the on-line AC strategy control. Also machining tests are carried out on a CNC-machining center fitted with the ACC system and compared with the simulated results. The practical effectiveness of the ACC systems so discussed and the reduction of machining time are demonstrated with reference to typical models of cutting workpieces. As a typical model, taper and step geometry model are selected. The computer simulation results have a good agreement with the experimental observation and make it possible to develope a NC-machine tool with an on-line ACC system.

This paper describes a method of calculating the feedrate for the constant cutting speed at a CL-point in 5-axis machining. Unlike 3-axis machining, 5-axis machining has the flexibility of the tool motions due to two rotation axes. But the feedrate at joint space differs from the feedrate at a tool tip(the CL-point) of the 3D Euclidean space for the tool motions. The proposed algorithm adjusts the feedrate based on 5-axis NC data, the kinematics of a machine, and the tool length. The following calculations is processed for each NC block to generate the new feedrate; 1) calculating the moving distance at the CL-point, 2) calculating the moving time by the given feedrate, 3) calculating the feedrate of each axis, 4) getting the new feedrate. The proposed algorithm was applied to a 5-axis machine which had a tilting spindle and a rotary table. Totally, the result of the algorithm reduced the machining time and smoothed the cutting-load by the constant cutting speed at the CL-point.

This paper describers a look ahead algorithm of PC-NC(personal computer numerical control). The algorithm is based on acceleration/deceleration before interpolation which doesn\`t include a command error and determines a feedrate value at the end point of each block(or start point of each block). The algorithm is represented as following; 1) calculating two maximum arrival feedrates(F$_1$,F$_2$) by an acceleration value, a command feedrate, and the distance of a NC block, 2) getting a tangent feedrate (F$_3$) of the adjacent blocks, 3) choosing a minimum value among these three feedrates, and 4) setting the value to a feedrate of a start point of the next block(or a end point of the previous block). The proposed look ahead algorithm was implemented and tested by using a commercial TROS(real time operation system) on the MS-Windows NT 4.0 in a PC platform. For interfacing to a machine, a counter board, a DAC board and a DIO board were used. The result of the algorithm increased a machining precision and a machining speed in many short blocks.
