Optimization of 3D Pocket Machining Using Multiple Tools
In numerical control machining,the number and the size of the cutting tools in use have a significant effect on machining efficiency.This paper puts forward a method to select the most appropriate group of cutters for 3D pocket machining using NC machine tools,which aim to minimize the total machining time.Considering the material is removed layer by layer in roughing,three scan-line filling algorithm is proposed to calculate the cutting area of every layer,which is necessary to calculate the machining time.After the total machining time of each group of cutters is calculated,the optimal group of cutters can be determined easily.Both the theoretical analysis and the simulated results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the efficiency of NC machining.
