In order to develop a practical postprocessor for 5-axis machining, the general equations of numerically controlled (NC) data for 5-axis configurations with not only non-orthogonal rotary axes but also orthogonal rotary axes were exactly expressed by the inverse kinematics, and a Windows-based postprocessor written in Visual Basic was developed according to the proposed algorithm. The developed postprocessor is a general system that suitable for all kinds of 5-axis machine tool with orthogonal and non-orthogonal rotary axes. Through implementation of the developed postprocessor and verification by a cutting simulation and machining experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed. Compatibility is improved by allowing exchange of data formats such as rotational tool center position (RTCP) controlled NC data, vector post NC data, and program object file (POF) cutter location (CL)data, and convenience is increased by adding the function of work-piece origin offset. Consequently, the technology of practical post-processor for 5-axis machining is developed.

In this paper, we present a network-based integrated nesting system, that is adapted a current engineering concept. Generally, sheet cutting processes proceed in turn following an existing order In this study, however, the special characteristics of these processes were analyzed and the processes were redesigned with distributed design so that they could be operated in a client/server environment. Also, the necessary sheet material cutting processes, part CAD, nesting, part CAM, and NC post-processor capabilities, were implemented so that many workers could handle them all on the Web. Compared to existing commonly used systems, the developed system can provide integrated work environment for cutting automation, allow job collaboration between workers, and it has proved that it can shorten the standby time for work. By grafting computer system technologies to sheet material cutting automation field, this research expects to contribute to the enhancement of factory automation efficiency and productivity.

5-axis NC machining has a good advantage of the accessibility of tool motion by adding two rotary axes. It offers numerous advantages such as expanding machining fields in parts of turbo machineries like impeller, propeller, turbine blade and rotor, reasonable tool employment and great reduction of the set-up process. However, as adding two rotary axes, it is difficult to choose suitable machining conditions in terms of tool path, tool posture, feedrate control at a tool tip and post-processing. Therefore in this paper, it is proposed to decide suitable machining condition through an experimental method such as adopting various tool paths, tool postures, and feedrate types. Machining experiment on AL7075 for impeller is performed to define suitable machining condition, and measurement of surface roughness on machined surfaces depended on each machining condition is performed. By defining suitable machining condition, we should have conclusion as improving the surface quality in the aspect of surface roughness and machined shape of surface.

An impeller is difficult to machine due to the complex, overlapping and twisted shapes that form the blades of an impeller. Therefore, most CAM software companies have developed a CAM module for manufacturing an impeller in addition to their CAM software. However, it is not easy for inexperienced users to machine impellers. The purpose of this paper is to outline the development of an automatic CAM module for the manufacturing of an impeller (E-ICAM) which is based on visual basic language and which uses a CATIA graphical environment in order to simplify the machining of impellers. The automatic CAM module generates a tool path and proposes the recommended cutting condition according to the stock and tool material. In addition, it includes a post-processor for five-axis control machining. Therefore, a user can easily machine impellers using this automation module. There are two types of impellers: the closed and open types. The closed-type impeller consists of the body and cover parts. To combine these two parts, it is necessary to create tap holes on the shroud of the body. Therefore, in the study, a drilling CAM program for a closed-type impeller is developed and manufactured by creating NC data from the developed drilling program. After manufacturing the test specimen, its compatibility was verified.
