The present invention discloses a method for controlling deformation during the
machining of large, complex ellipsoidal parts based on dynamic
cutting planning: First, the blank is clamped in an initial position, a
machining coordinate
system is set up, and the non-contact measurement and adjustment of the reference surfaces for the internal and external shapes of the blank are completed. Subsequently, the
cutting surfaces are subdivided. Based on the feature
decomposition of the product, the theoretical cross-sections are compared with the measured cross-sections in the same coordinate
system, and a
machining area assessment is performed based on the
cutting surfaces to guide the overall machining
route planning and the local machining
route planning.Based on the machining path planning and the available clearances, a dynamic workpiece adjustment is achieved using an adaptable
support system to ensure stable machining under variable cutting depths and to solve the problem of overall deformation in complex ellipsoidal parts. In conjunction with the adaptable support, the
system detects deformation of highly reinforced features in areas with large rib heights. Based on the relationship between circular displacement and remaining wall thickness, toolpath compensation is implemented to achieve precise machining compensation for local
distortion.The invention solves the major difficulties in the CNC machining of large, complex, thin-walled ellipsoidal parts with regard to accurately ensuring the remaining wall thickness, compensating for local deformations, and controlling the overall deformation, which further improves the reliability of the overall production of such parts.
