摘要:
如果在一個復(fù)雜的表面的加工中,通常會產(chǎn)生大量的線性NC段來近似精確的表面。如果沒有發(fā)現(xiàn),直到切割不準確的NC代碼,則會浪費時間和昂貴的材料。然而,準確和視圖獨立驗證的多坐標數(shù)控加工仍然是一個挑戰(zhàn)。本文著重介紹了利用自適應(yīng)八叉樹建立一個可靠的多軸模擬程序驗證模擬切割期間和之后的路線和工件的外觀。體素模型的自適應(yīng)八叉樹數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)是用來加工工件與指定的分辨率。隱函數(shù)的使用刀具接觸點的速度和準確性的檢驗,以代表各種刀具的幾何形狀。它允許用戶做切割模型和原始的CAD模型的誤差分析和比較。在加工前運行數(shù)控機床,以避免浪費材料,提高加工精度,它也可以驗證NC代碼的正確性。

1.介紹
NC加工是一個基本的和重要的用于生產(chǎn)的機械零件的制造過程。在理想的情況下,數(shù)控機床將運行在無人值守模式。使用NC仿真和驗證是必不可少的,如果要運行的程序有信心在無人操作。因此,它是非常重要的,在執(zhí)行之前,以保證NC路徑的正確性。從文學(xué)來說,數(shù)控仿真主要分為三種主要方法,如下所述。
第一種方法使用直接布爾十字路口實體模型來計算材料去除量在加工過程。這種方法在理論上能夠提供精確的數(shù)控加工仿真,但使用實體建模方法的問題是,它是計算昂貴。使用構(gòu)造實體幾何仿真的成本刀具運動的O(N 4)的數(shù)量的四次冪成正比。第二種方法使用空間分割表示,代表刀具和工件。在這種方法中,一個堅實的對象被分解成一個集合的基本幾何元素,其中包括體素并,dexels,G-緩沖器,依此類推,從而簡化了過程的正規(guī)化布爾操作。第三種方法使用離散矢量路口。這種方法是基于對一個表面成的一組點的離散化。切割是模擬計算通過與刀具路徑信封的表面點的矢量的交點。
在多軸數(shù)控加工,切削刀具頻繁地旋轉(zhuǎn),以便計算出工件的模型,該模型是依賴于視圖,這是很困難的。因此在本文中,我們使用的體素的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)來表示的工件模型。不過,根據(jù)過去的文獻,如果精度是必要的,大量的像素,必須設(shè)立執(zhí)行布爾操作。這會消耗內(nèi)存和時間。因此,我們的方法是使用八叉樹的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)來表示的工件模型。八叉樹可以適于創(chuàng)建與所需決議所需要的體素。我們利用八叉樹的快速搜索與刀具接觸的體素。然而,我們的方法使用了一個隱式的函數(shù)來表示的切削工具,因為切割器可以容易且準確地表示的隱式代數(shù)方程,并判斷切割器保持在與工件接觸也很容易。因此,我們的方法是可靠和準確的。
論文內(nèi)容安排如下。第2節(jié)討論的工件表示,使用八叉樹體素模式。第3節(jié)給出用于表示各種刀具的幾何形狀的隱函數(shù)。第4節(jié)概述了該算法的3軸數(shù)控加工仿真程序。第5節(jié)說明了所提出的方法可以很容易地適應(yīng)五軸聯(lián)動數(shù)控仿真通過擴展的隱函數(shù)來容納五軸旋轉(zhuǎn)。實例證明所提出的方法的有效性和簡單的。第6節(jié)說明了NC仿真所需的存儲器空間和計算時間的實驗結(jié)果。最后,結(jié)論在第7節(jié)。
2.立體幾何體素表示
在本文中,我們使用一個像素的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)來表示研磨工件的自由形式的幾何體素的新型固體,因為模型的軸對準和視圖獨立的性質(zhì)。同時利用八叉樹來避免創(chuàng)建大量的體素。該方法判斷刀具保持與工件接觸,發(fā)現(xiàn)接觸的所有體素,然后將這些體素空間分辨率達到八像素遞歸直到達到所需的精度水平。因此,如果有與刀具接觸體素,也沒有必要細分模型。圖1顯示了八叉樹數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)和它所代表的體素模型。
圖1. 八叉樹數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)和相關(guān)的體素模型
傳統(tǒng)上,由于加工仿真采用均勻的體素數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)來表示一個研磨工件,精度提高了體素數(shù)據(jù)時,將產(chǎn)生大量的工件。這將使加工仿真變慢,這是因為大量計算機內(nèi)存的需要。因此,我們使用八叉樹數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)的自適應(yīng)創(chuàng)造體素,需要仿真。
3. 刀具幾何使用隱式函數(shù)表示
空間均勻的體素分割方法未能解決多維數(shù)控驗證相當復(fù)雜與準確的工件。如果需要高精度,大量的體素必須成立進行布爾集合運算。這將消耗大量的內(nèi)存和時間。但我們?nèi)S仿真的新方法采用自適應(yīng)的體素模型來表示一個研磨的工件,并使用隱式函數(shù)來表示的刀具實體模型。由于刀具不分解成一個集合的基本幾何元素,因此可以實現(xiàn)高的精度。同時工件模型利用八叉樹模型來減少不必要的體素。下面,我們描述了使用隱函數(shù)表示的各種刀具。
平立銑刀可以由一個圓柱體代表。圖2顯示平立銑刀切削方向一致。如果工具是平行于Z軸,且坐標系統(tǒng)轉(zhuǎn)換,中心點位于原點。因此,一個平面銑刀的隱函數(shù):
F ( X , Y , Z ) = max{abs ( Z ?L/2 ) ? L/2, X 2 + Y 2 ? R 2 }? if Z≥ 0
該隱函數(shù)被用于確定體素在里面,外面,或交叉的刀不損失任何精度。裁判可以通過插入一個像素頂點坐標為隱函數(shù)。方程式(2)描述了一個頂點與刀具間的關(guān)系,如圖3所示。
? < 0 在內(nèi)部表面
F ( X , Y , Z) ? = 0 在表面 (2)
? > 0 在外部表面
表示
R:刀具半徑
L:從沿刀軸的中心點開始測量距離
圖2:平面銑刀和相關(guān)的坐標系統(tǒng)
圖3:隱函數(shù)用于確定刀具的內(nèi)部或外部
球立銑刀是由一個圓柱和一個球體組成,如圖4所示。如果工具是平行于Z軸,且坐標系統(tǒng)的原點平移到球體的中心,則一個球立銑刀的隱函數(shù)可以被描述為:
max{ abs ( Z ) ? L , X 2 + Y 2 ? R 2 } 若Z ≥ 0
F ( X , Y , Z )= ? (3)
? X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 ? R 2 其他
表示
R:刀軸刀角中心徑向距離
r: 刀角半徑
L:從沿刀軸的中心點開始測量距離
圖4:球立銑刀和相關(guān)的坐標系統(tǒng)
圓角立銑刀可以由兩個氣缸和一個圓環(huán)表示。如果工具是平行于Z軸,且坐標系統(tǒng)轉(zhuǎn)換到中心點,如圖5所示,圓角端銑刀隱函數(shù)可推導(dǎo)為:
max{ abs ( Z ) ? L , X 2 + Y 2 ?(R+r)2 } 若Z ≥ 0
F ( X , Y , Z )= max{ abs ( Z ) ? L , X 2 + Y 2 ? R 2 } 否則abs(X)≤R
(X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 +R 2)?4R2(X 2+ Z 2) 其他
表示
R:刀軸刀角中心徑向距離
r:刀角半徑
L:從沿刀軸的中心點開始測量距離
圖5:圓角銑刀和相關(guān)的坐標系統(tǒng)
作為一個簡單的平面銑刀,或復(fù)雜的圓角立銑刀,隱函數(shù)可以用來確定一點是否是內(nèi)部或外部的刀具直接應(yīng)用的方程式。隱函數(shù)表示刀具的使用不僅是精確的幾何形狀,簡單的概念,而且隱函數(shù)編程也很容易和簡單。因此,我們可以很容易地知道隱式函數(shù)F(x,y,z)的存量和刀具之間的幾何關(guān)系。
4. 三軸數(shù)控加工仿真
配制后的切削刀具的隱函數(shù),需要被執(zhí)行的一項重要任務(wù)是確定哪些需要在球磨過程中細分或刪除的體素。圖6則表示一個三軸NC路徑模擬流程圖:

圖6:三軸加工仿真流程圖
三軸NC路徑模擬過程描述如下:
(1) 第一步是讀NC代碼。然后我們可以得到每個數(shù)控段的開始和結(jié)束的刀具位置(CL)的刀具運動點。因此,三軸運動模型是任何兩個工具的配置點位置的聯(lián)合結(jié)構(gòu)的CL插值。
(2) 刀具的邊界框是用來初步判斷刀具接觸體素模型的哪部分。其目的是擺脫不與刀具的體素接觸。如果確定體素是與刀具接觸,體素的頂點將被取代刀隱函數(shù)來決定是否像素頂點位于刀具的內(nèi)部或外部。
(3) 如果所有的體素點符合條件的F(x,y,z)<0時,則確認它的體素已被完全切斷刀;也就是說,體素在落刀應(yīng)該被消除。如果頂點部分落在里面和其他人以外,這意味著需要進一步劃分體素。為了細分每一個體素,步驟(2)和步驟(3)將進行遞歸,直至達到預(yù)定的精度水平。
在NC路徑當前段完成之后,步驟1再次上演,讀取下一段數(shù)控代碼。該程序是遵循直到所有NC代碼已讀才結(jié)束。
在上述三軸加工仿真程序中,它是明確的,像素被細分需要根據(jù)刀具與工件之間的幾何關(guān)系;大量的體素不一次全部在開始創(chuàng)建。圖7則表明體素通過八叉樹只與一個球立銑刀接觸將細分。體素不與刀具接觸則不會細分。因此,這種方法大大降低了體素的數(shù)量,節(jié)省了空間。
圖7:三軸數(shù)控加工仿真
在Z-map模型的比較,使用體素模型仿真的結(jié)果是可以顯示多軸加工。DEXEL模型的視圖有相關(guān)的限制,但體素模型沒有這個限制。因此,三軸、五邊加工可以利用本文的三軸仿真方法,如圖8所示。
圖8:三軸和五邊的仿真實例
5. 五軸聯(lián)動數(shù)控加工仿真
在五軸加工中,除了三個平移運動,刀具軸也會旋轉(zhuǎn)。因此,我們對五軸仿真方法只修改刀隱函數(shù)。所有其他的步驟與三軸仿真是相同的。因此,刀具的三種可以表示如下:
平立銑刀可以由一個圓柱體代表。圖9結(jié)果表明刀具軸沿著{n},中心點位于{ p}。因此,一個平面銑刀的隱函數(shù):
F ( X , Y , Z ) = ? ({ x } ? { p }) T [ n ] 2 ({ x }?{ p }) ? R 2
若 0 ≤ { n } T ({ x } ? { p })≤L (5)
表示
R:刀具半徑
{ x } ={ X Y Z}T :一個像素點的位置
{ n } ={ n x n y nz}T :刀具軸的單位矢量
{ p } ={ p x py pz }T :中心點
0 -nz n y nx2-1 nxny nxnz
[n]= nz 0 -n x [n]2= nxny ny2-1 nynz
-n y n x 0 nxnz nynz nz2-1
圖9:五軸旋轉(zhuǎn)的平面銑刀模式
球立銑刀可以由一個圓柱和一個球體,工會代表。圖10則結(jié)果表明刀具軸沿{ N}和中心點位于{P }。因此,一個球立銑刀的隱函數(shù):
? ({ x } ? { p }) T [ n ] 2 ({ x } ? { p }) ? R 2
F ( X , Y , Z ) = 如果0 ≤ { n } T ({ x } ? { p }) ≤ L
({ x } ? { p }) T({ x } ? { p })? R2 其他
表示
R:刀具半徑
{n}:刀具軸的單位矢量
圖10:五軸模式旋轉(zhuǎn)球立銑刀
圓角立銑刀可以由兩個氣缸和一個圓環(huán)工會代表。圖11則結(jié)果表明刀具軸沿{n},中心點位于{P}。因此,一個圓形立銑刀的隱函數(shù):
( ? { v } T [ n ] 2 { v }) ? ( R + r ) 2 若0 ≤ { n } T { v } ≤ L
F ( X , Y , Z ) = ( ? { v } T [ n ] 2 { v }) ? R 2否則0 ≤ { n } ({ v } ? r { n }) < r and
( ? { v }T [ n ]2 { v }) ≤ R 2
(( ? { v } T [ n ] 2 { v })+({n}T{v})2+R2-r2 )+4R2({ v } T [ n ] 2 { v })
表示
R:從刀軸刀角中心徑向距離
r:刀角半徑
{n}:刀具軸的單位矢量
{ v } = { x } ? { p}

7.結(jié)論
在本文中,我們提出了一個新的多軸模擬方法。本文的目的是使用自適應(yīng)的體素模型來建立一個可靠的多軸模擬程序,可以模擬的切割路線和模擬之后的工件的外觀。它允許用戶進行切削模型與原始CAD模型比較及誤差分析。它可以在加工數(shù)控機床之前驗證其NC代碼的準確性,以避免浪費材料和提高加工精度。
總之,對多軸模擬方法的優(yōu)點如下所述。(1)模擬的方法比其他基于體素模擬的方法使用更少的內(nèi)存。(2)仿真是獨立的。DEXEL模型的視圖有相關(guān)的限制,而體素模型沒有這個限制。(3)模擬是可靠和準確的。無論刀具的五軸還是三軸仿真都是采用隱函數(shù)來表示,整個方法簡單可靠。

Computer Aided Design that is to say that the voxel falling in the cutter should be eliminated If part of the vertices fall inside and the others outside it means the voxel needs to be further divided For each subdivided voxel step 2 and step 3 will be carried out recursively until a predetermined precision level is reached After the current segment of the NC path is finished step 1 is performed again and the next segment of the NC code is read The procedure is followed to the end until all NC codes have been read In the procedure for three axis machining simulation mentioned above it is clear that voxels are subdivided as needed according to the geometric relationship between the cutter and the workpiece a large number of voxels are not created all at once in the beginning Fig 7 shows that voxels in contact only with a ball endmill will be subdivided by the octree Voxels not in contact with the cutter will not be subdivided Thus this approach greatly reduces the number of voxels and saves memory during simulation Fig 7 Three axis NC machining simulation In comparison with z map model NC simulation using voxel model can display multi axis machining result The dexel model has the restriction of being view dependent but the voxel model does not have this restriction Thus three axis five side machining can utilize the three axis simulation method of this paper as Fig 8 shows Computer Aided Design Applications Vol 2 Nos 1 4 2005 pp 95 104 100 Fig 8 Example of three axis and five side simulation 5 SIMULATION OF FIVE AXIS NC MACHINING In five axis NC machining in addition to the three translation movements the tool axis can also be rotated Therefore our approach to five axis simulation only revises the implicit function of the cutter All other procedures are the same as the three axis simulation Thus the three kinds of cutters can be expressed as follows Flat endmills can be represented by a cylinder Fig 9 shows that the tool axis is along n and the center point is located at p Thus the implicit function of a flat endmill is 2 2 0 T TF X Y Z x p n x p R if n x p L 5 where R the cutter radius Tx X Y Z the position of a voxel vertex Tx y zn n n n

five axis mode Computer Aided Design Applications Vol 2 Nos 1 4 2005 pp 95 104 101 Ball endmills can be represented by the union of a cylinder and a sphere Fig 10 shows that the tool axis is along n and the center point is located at p Thus the implicit function of a ball endmill is 2 2 2 0 T T T x p n x p R if n x p LF X Y Z x p x p R otherwise 6 where R the cutter radius n the unit vector of the tool axis Fig 10 Ball endmill rotated in five axis mode Fillet endmills can be represented by the union of two cylinders and a torus Fig 11 shows that the tool axis is along n and that the center point is located at p Thus the implicit function of a round endmill is 2 2 2 2 2 2 22 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 and 4 T T T T T T T T v n v R r if n v L else if n v r n rF X Y Z v n v R v n v R v n v n v R r R v

same as adaptive NC simulation Under this condition we are not able to simulate case1 Impeller and case3 shoe because such cases exceed our memory limitation The results that can be observed are case

Shoe Bottle Computation time Sec X 1491 X 721 Memory space MB X 414 X 380 Tab 2 Required memory space and computation time for NC simulation with uniform voxel model 7 CONCLUSION In this paper we proposed a novel multi axis simulation method The objective of this paper was to use the adaptive voxel model to develop a reliable multi axis simulation procedure which can simulate the cutting route and the workpiece appearance during and after the simulation It allows the user to do error analysis and comparison between the cutting model and the original CAD model It can verify the accuracy of NC codes before machining on a CNC machine in order to avoid wasting material and to improve machining accuracy In summary the advantages of the multi axis simulation method presented in this paper are as follows 1 The simulation method uses less memory than other voxel based simulation methods 2 The simulation is view independent The dexel model has the restriction of being view dependent but the voxel model does not have this restriction 3 The simulation is reliable and accurate Regardless of whether it is the five axis or three axis simulation which uses the implicit function to represent a cutter the whole method is simple and reliable 8 REFERENCES 1 Choi B K Jerard R B Sculptured Surface Machining Theory and Applications Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998 2 Wang W P Wang K K
