These parts are often machined with five-axis machine tool. When using the normal tool path planning method, it will be difficult to offset the surfaces and there will be redundant cutter retraction. In order to solve the above problems, this paper presents a high efficiency planning method for five-axis spiral tool path generation based on the point model of the multi-patch island. Firstly, discrete points are extracted from the initial model to construct the point model of the snubber and they are stored in different regions in order to decrease the range of searching cutter contact points. Secondly, on the basis of creating the control line for searching direction, the cutter center for every cutter location is calculated according to the generated clean-up tool path. Finally, the tool axis of each cutter location is obtained based on the tangent vector of the spiral tool center path. Example and simulation are carried out finally to show the feasible and effectiveness of the presented method.","PeriodicalId":233469,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Manufacturing Automation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117041107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After that, the simplified histograms of hue H and saturation S of fruits’ surface color are calculated, which are used as the input of a designed back propagation (BP) network. The output of the BP network is the quality description of the inspected fruits.

Presented tool orientation planning method is based on the blade’s shape features, it can avoid collision between the tool and the platform surface. Tool orientations on the boundary curves of the machining area are interpolated by the quaternion interpolation algorithm, and tool orientation for every cutter-contact point on the suction surface and pressure surface are interpolated with tool orientations of the boundaries. Therefore, the interpolation procedures are performed in two different directions of the blade surface. Analysis of examples show that tool orientations interpolated by quaternion interpolation algorithms change smoothly, it can enable steady movement of the machine tool. Furthermore, it can improve the machining efficiency as well as decrease the workload and difficulty of the clean-up of platform surface by the quaternion interpolation algorithm, thus to contribute to the manufacturing technology of freeform surface blade parts.","PeriodicalId":233469,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Manufacturing Automation","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115229127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of structures are engineered for high performance and are used particularly in industries where low weight and high strength are desired. However, these structures are difficult to design because they often contain thousands of support elements. To design mesoscale lattice structures, current synthesis methods generally require some form of rigorous, multi-variable optimization that can slow or halt the design process. In this paper, we present a new, highly efficient, method for the design of mesoscale lattice structures, the Size Matching and Scaling method. This method eliminates the need for time-consuming optimization by using a combination of a solid-body finite element analysis and a library of pre-defined lattice configurations to generate a structure's lattice topology. In addition, we explore several methods for determining the best lattice diameter values for the lattice topology. Various 2-D and 3-D examples will be used to test and validate the method.","PeriodicalId":233469,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Manufacturing Automation","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127547715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
