본 논문에서는 복합형상의 금형을 가공하기 위하여 필요한 공구와 가공경로를 자동으로 생성해 주는 자동공정계획(CAPP)방법을 제시한다. 금형곡면은 일반적으로 복잡한 형상의 자유곡면들의 조합으로 이루어 지는데 육면체 형상의 소재로부터 원하는 금형곡면을 가공하는데는 수십시간의 기계가공 시간이 소요되며 또한 NC Code를 준비하는데도 같은정도의 시간이 소요된다. 금형곡면의 NC가공에 있어서 또다른 어려움은 공구의 과부하와 공구간섭이 빈번하게 발생할 수 있다는 점이다. 제안하는 자동공정계획방법은 전처리, 공정계획, 공구경로 생성의 3단계로 구성된다. 자동공정계획시스템의 입력정보는 1) 생성될 곡면형상 2) 가공할 소재형상 3) 가공공구 셀(드릴, 볼 엔드밀, 플렛 엔드밀), 절삭성 데이타등이다. 전처리 단계에서는 곡면모델러로부터 생성된 입력 형상을 Z-map이라 부르는 자료구조로 변환한다. 두번째 단계에서는 절삭 가공작업의 순서가 사용되는 공구와 함께 후방순환법에 의하여 결정된다. 그리고 실제 가공될 NC공구경로가 마지막 세번째 단계에서 생성된다.

In this paper, a practical method for design and machining of cycloid gear was investigated. Based on the proposed method, a systematic program was developed for automatically designing the tooth profiles of epicycloid and hypocycloid gears for the case fo one difference between the number of teeth of cycloid gear and the number coordinates of tooth profiles and pressure angles. The error analysis between cycloid curve and Biarc curve was performed to show the effective method of equidistant partitioning of cycloid curve so that efficient method of Biarc curve fitting was also proposed for the partitioned curve.

For developing 5-axis laser cutting systems, many problems such as rotating of laser head or table, 5-axis tool path generation and collision avoidance between laser head and product should be solved. In this paper, a five-axis laser cutting machine with table swivel and rotary type configuration is developed. The five axes (X,Y,Z,A,B) are controlled and interfaced to PC via MMC board. Two kinds of CAM S/W such as commercial 5-axis CAM S/W(Euclid) and UG-API are engaged to generate NC code for the developed 5-axis laser cutting machine.

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.

The geometry parameter of tool such as rake angle and clearance angle is defined clearly to solve the difference in communication between design and measurement stage. Using the developed simulation program, wheel is properly determined and end mill can be manufactured accurately. The performance test with well defined end mill provides sufficient information to decide optimal geometry. For machining hardened steel, end mills are designed and manufactured. Optimal rake angle and clearance angle is obtained from performance test. A specific software for automatic end mill production is developed far simulation and fur generation of NC code as Cad/CAM system.

The development of 3D CAM system for the manufacturing of end mills becomes a key approach to save the time and reduce cost for end mills manufacturing. This paper presents the calculation and simulation of end mill tools CNC machining bases on 5-axes CNC grinding machine tool. In this study describes the process of generation and simulation of grinding point data between the tool and the grinding wheels through the machined time. Depend on input data of end mill geometry, wheels geometry, wheel setting, machine setting the end mill configuration and NC code for machining will be generated and visualized in 3 dimension before machining. The 3D visualizations of end mill manufacturing was generated by using OpenGL in C++. The development software was designed by using Microsoft Visual C++, which has many advantages for users, saving time and reducing manufacturing cost.

Cam mechanisms are one of the most popular devices for generating irregular motion and are widely used in many automatic equipments, such as textile machinery, internal combustion engines and other automatic devices. In order to obtain the positive motion of follower by rotating cam, its shape should be correctly designed and manufactured. In present paper, a CAD/CAM system is developed for shape design of disk cams using relative velocity method and NC code generation using the biarc curve interpolation. And, a disk cam is successfully manufactured by the developed CAD/CAM system. Thus, it is shown that the developed CAD/CAM system can be used for high precision cam profile CNC grinding machine.
