Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of numerically controlled machine tools, and in particular to a method for machining a workpiece using a linked vertical and horizontal hybrid machining machine tool. Background Art

[0002] Five-axis linkage machining centers generally have five independent and linkage-controlled motion axes. The ends of the motion axes are equipped with high-speed spindles and worktables. By clamping the machining tool at the end of the spindle, it is possible to complete the machining of high-precision complex curved surface parts in three-dimensional space in one clamping process of the workpiece. It is a key basic equipment in the manufacturing industry. Traditional five-axis linkage machining centers are divided into two machining types: horizontal and vertical, according to the horizontal and vertical installation direction of the spindle relative to the workpiece. The single spindle orientation type limits the movement direction of the tool to a certain extent, so a single clamping can only process limited parts of the workpiece. In the aerospace, automobile and mold manufacturing industries, there are a large number of large-sized complex structural parts, such as integral blades, large engine casings, etc. These parts have complex structures and high requirements for part forming accuracy. It is difficult to complete the machining of all features on a single vertical five-axis machining center or a horizontal five-axis machining center. It is often necessary to complete all machining processes on multiple vertical and horizontal five-axis machining centers. The multiple processing processes of multiple devices involve multiple procedures. The time consumed by workpiece loading and unloading and spindle tool changing in each procedure will account for a large proportion of the entire processing cycle of the part, which greatly restricts the manufacturing efficiency of the part. Moreover, when the processing process involves re-clamping, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the clamping position, which will inevitably lead to cumulative positioning errors, thereby reducing the processing accuracy of the workpiece. Therefore, how to provide a high-precision and high-efficiency composite machining center equipment to achieve high-quality and efficient manufacturing of high-precision and complex parts is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.

[0062] On the other hand, the present invention discloses a method for machining a workpiece using a linkage vertical and horizontal hybrid machining machine tool, wherein the workpiece is machined using the linkage vertical and horizontal hybrid machining machine tool. Figure 5 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0063] Step 1: Obtain the workpiece CAD model;

[0064] Step 2: Formulate the processing strategy and process parameters for each process of workpiece processing according to the CAM software; generate the processing tool location files of the position and posture of the two processing tools;

[0065] Step 3: Based on the structural characteristics of the workpiece of the linked vertical and horizontal hybrid machining machine, the machining instructions in the machining tool location file are analyzed for machining time estimation and motion interference check. Based on the analysis results, the machining spindle, machining order and machining time are allocated to each machining instruction according to the optimization matching rules, and exported as a CNC machining instruction program list; the CNC machining instruction program list is input into the CNC system box 4 and the machining is performed in sequence until the processed workpiece is obtained.

[0066] Furthermore, the coordinate frame of the machining instructions of the machining spindle includes the machine coordinate system (MCS), the base coordinate system (BCS) and the workpiece coordinate system (WCS). The origin of the machine coordinate system is directly related to the encoder feedback of the drive motor of the machining spindle, and the origin of the base coordinate system is set at the starting point that is conducive to the operation of the machine tool. There is an origin parameter offset between the two. The origin of the workpiece coordinate system depends on the programmed machining origin set by the CAM, and there is a zero point parameter offset between it and the base coordinate system caused by the workpiece clamping process. Before CNC machining, the computer-aided manufacturing CAM software is first used to generate a set of machining tool position posture vectors in the workpiece coordinate system and a given position instruction for the machining spindle of the hybrid machining machine tool in the machine coordinate system.

[0067] It can be understood that the mechanical coordinate system is the coordinate system of each of the two five-axis motion components from the perspective of the machine tool, and its position value is the encoder value of the motor; the base coordinate system is a Cartesian right-hand coordinate system, and its origin is set at a position that conforms to the working logic of the machine tool, such as the center point of the spindle end face or the center point of the worktable; the coordinate direction is consistent with the positive direction of each linear axis of the machine tool; this coordinate system is designated as the unified coordinate system of the entire machine tool, through which the CNC system can easily perform calculations and send position instructions to each axis driver.

[0068] Further, see Figure 6 , the processing tool location file in step 2 is converted into the CNC processing instruction program list in step 3 using the five-axis feed system transformation formula of the five-axis RTCP algorithm;

[0069] Among them, the five-axis feed system transformation formula of the first group of five-axis motion components is:

[0070]

[0071] in, represents the moving position command value of the X1-axis moving mechanism 10; represents the moving position command value of the Y1-axis moving mechanism 11; Indicates the moving position command value of the Z1-axis moving mechanism 9; Indicates the moving position command value of the C1-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 8; Indicates the rotation position command value of the A1-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 7; , and represents the tool tip position coordinates of the first machining tool 5 in the workpiece coordinate system; , and represents the tool direction posture vector coordinates of the first machining tool 5 in the workpiece coordinate system; , and Indicates the position coordinates of the center of the rotary table 2 in the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system; represents the length of the first machining tool 5; , and Indicates the distance between the end face center of the first machining spindle 6 and the rotation center axis of the A1-axis rotation orthogonal swing head 7 in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system; , and Indicates the distance between the rotation center axis of the A1-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 7 and the rotation center axis of the C1-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 8 in the first group of five-axis motion components in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system;

[0072] The transformation formula of the five-axis feed system of the second set of five-axis motion components is:

[0073]

[0074] in, represents the moving position command value of the X2-axis moving mechanism 16; Indicates the command value of the Y2-axis moving mechanism 18; Indicates the moving position command value of the Z2-axis moving mechanism 17; Indicates the rotation position command value of the A2-axis orthogonal swing head; Indicates the rotation position command value of the C2-axis orthogonal swing head; , and represents the tool tip position coordinates of the second machining tool 12 in the workpiece coordinate system; , and represents the tool direction posture vector coordinates of the second machining tool 12 in the workpiece coordinate system; , and Indicates the position coordinates of the center of the rotary table 2 in the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system; represents the length of the second machining tool 12; , and Indicates the distance between the end face center of the second machining spindle 13 and the rotation center axis of the C2-axis rotation orthogonal swing head 14 in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system; , and It represents the distance between the rotation center axis of the C2-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 14 and the rotation center axis of the A2-axis rotating orthogonal swing head 15 in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction in the base coordinate system under the second group of five-axis motion components.

[0075] The present invention can realize dual-spindle milling of the workpiece to be processed. The workpiece 3 to be processed is fixed on the rotating table 2 by a clamp, the first processing spindle 6 is rotated orthogonally through the X1, Y1 and Z1 axis axial motion devices of the machine tool and the C1 and A1 axis rotation orthogonal swing heads, and the second processing spindle 13 is rotated orthogonally through the X2, Y2 and Z2 axis axial motion devices of the machine tool and the C2 and A2 axis rotation orthogonal swing heads, thereby realizing dual five-axis linkage vertical and horizontal mixed processing of the workpiece 3 to be processed.
