Abstract
Scheduling of the five-axis spline toolpath feedrate is of great significance for high-quality and high-efficiency machining using five-axis machine tools. Due to the fact that there exists nonlinear relationship between the Cartesian space of the cutting tool and the joint space of the five feed axes, it is a challenging task to schedule the five-axis feedrate under axial drive constraints. Most existing methods are researched for routine short spline toolpaths, however, the five-axis feedrate scheduling method expressed for long spline toolpaths is limited. This article proposes an interval adaptive feedrate scheduling method based on a dynamic moving look-ahead window, so as to generate smooth feedrate for long five-axis toolpath in a piecewise manner without using the integral toolpath geometry. First, the length of the look-ahead window which equals to that of the toolpath interval is determined in case of abrupt braking at the end of the toolpath. Then, the interval permissible tangential feed parameters in terms of the velocity, acceleration, and jerk are determined according to the axial drive constraints at each toolpath interval. At the same time, the end velocity of the current interval is obtained through looking ahead the next interval. Using the start and end velocities and the permissible feed parameters of each interval, the five-axis motion feedrate is scheduled via an interval adaptive manner. Thus, the feedrate scheduling task for long five-axis toolpath is partitioned into a series of extremely short toolpaths, which realizes the efficient scheduling of long spline toolpath feedrate. Experimental results on two representative five-axis spline toolpaths demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, especially for long toolpaths.
