摘要
Five-axis machining is commonly used for complicated features due to its advantage of rotary movement. However, the rotary movement introduces nonlinear terms in the kinematic transform. The nonlinear terms are related to the distance between the cutter location (CL) data and the intersection of the two rotary axes. This research studied the possible setup positions after the toolpaths have been generated, and the objective was to determine the optimal setup position of a workpiece with minimal axial movements to reduce the machining time. We derived the kinematic transform for each type of five-axis machines, and then, defined an optimization problem that described the relationship between the workpiece setup position and the pseudo-distance of the axial movements. Eventually, an optimization algorithm was proposed to search for the optimal workpiece setup position within the machinable domain, which is already concerned with over-traveling and machine interference problems. In the end, we verified the optimal results with a case study with a channel feature, which was real cutting on a table-table type five-axis machine. The results show that we can save the axial movements up to 16.76% and the machining time up to 10.70% by setting up the part at the optimal position.
