A post-processing algorithm for DECKEL MAHO universal milling and drilling machine--A kind of 5-axis NC machining center

摘要

The current approaches for free-form surface machining generally use 5-axis NC machine tools. A CAD/CAM system models a workpiece and exports standard ASCII files called Cutter Location DATA based on the resultant geometric models. Then NC codes which are identifiable to the specified NC machine tools are developed by post processors. The machine tool here is DMU 70V. With one rotary axis different from what ISO defined, DMU 70V needs a dedicated post processor. The algorithm for the post processor are presented in detail in this paper.
