Abstract

This paper presents a modular method to construct the postprocessor system for a novel hybrid parallel-serial five-axis machine tool. A hybrid parallel-serial mathematic model was introduced to analyze the structural configuration. The configuration decomposition of machine tools is employed to create the kernel of postprocessor. The proposed modified D-H notation and screw theory are used for coordinate conversion procedure and then an algorithm for developing the inverse kinematics of five-axis machines was carried out. CL path is converted to produce NC Code and been loaded into the controller for machining. This proposed algorithm can be easily adapted to convert between CL path and NC code and be implemented on computerized CAD/CAM systems. Examples with side-milling tools are demonstrated and real cutting parts are implemented for verifying the algorithm.
