| description | A machining center is a common machine tool that can machine complex free-form surfaces such as the press mold, automobile’s cam profile. When these curved surfaces are machined by the conventional machining center and/or the grinding machine, it takes lot of time to complete with enough accuracy. In order to solve this problem, this study aims not only to improve the machining accuracy of this curved surface but also to make it possible to shorten the machining time using a CNC lathe. In this study, the NACS-Turning (Non-axisymmetric curved surface turning) method that we proposed originally was used. The spindle of C-Axis, the moving table with the cutting tool of X1-Axis, the other counter moving table of X2-Axis (without involved in shape creation, only used to suppress inertial force), the head stock of Z-Axis, and the tool rotation axis of B-Axis are adapted. In this 4-Axis machining method, all the axes are controlled with the synchronized manner. This method can machine the same rotational position of workpiece with the same cutting edge of the rotary tool. As an experiment, we compared 4-Axis machining with synchronized spindle and tool rotation, 3-Axis machining, and machining without synchronous rotation. Our new 4-Axis machining method with synchronized spindle and tool rotation reduced the form error from 323 ㎛ to 247 ㎛ and the surface roughness from Rz 9.6μm to Rz 3.7μm. Moreover, the repetitive machining resulted in error of 99.6μm and a surface roughness of Rz2.9μm. |
