Objective
In CAD/CAM applications to automotive design, automatic NC programming for 5-axis machine tools, a crucial area, is not well covered and integrated. The goal of the project is to coordinate the development pursued in this field by Inter-Prog (Italy), specialising in 5-axis NC software, Ford (Germany), IAD (UK), interested in shortening the lead time for style model manufacturing and Jobs (Italy), a leading company in 5-axis machines and CNCs.
3-axis automatic isoparametrical and parallel planes milling has been achieved. The user is not expert in CN millings and the data assigned are the tool set and the finishing degree.
5-axis milling, with gauge collision control and automatic modification of the leading tool angle has also been achieved.
The data exchange interfaces used are IGES, VDAFS, SET, U3 and SPAC.
The automatic 5-axis NC system will be implemented on DEC and SUN workstations, to reduce 5-8 times the time needed to obtain physical models and to minimise the work of skilled programmers. Automatic NC means that complex surface milling does not require an intensive programming work : the only information to be supplied are the maths model and the technological specifications, the tools and the finish degree. The NC system will be integrated by a CNC controller with the features required by 5-axis automatic machining : fast block programming, trajectory control, synthetic curve and surface programming, tool shape compensation and non-linear interpolation.
