The invention relates to a
machining method for offset milling of the conical outer surface of a casing. The method comprises the following steps that UG
software is used for compiling milling operation of the conical outer surface of the casing; the milling sequence and the
tool path of the conical outer surface of the casing are planned; a special post
processing program of the UG
software is customized; the special post
processing program is used for creating a
G code program recognized by a
machine tool; the milling sequence and the
tool path of the conical outer surface of the casing are planned as follows: the conical outer surface of the casing is divided into multiple curved face areas, each curved face area serves as an independent drive body, each curved face area is shown with (U,V) parameters, the
feed point selects the middle position of each curved face area, and the included angle theta between the feed direction and the
cutting direction is greater than 90 degrees but smaller than 270 degrees. The
cutting angle of a tool is improved, the
cutting range of a side edge is enlarged, cutting of a bottom edge is reduced, and therefore abrasion of the tool is reduced, the
machining efficiency is improved, and the
numerical control milling problem of the conical outer surface of the
casting is successfully solved.
