A multi-point milling
path design method for the full surface
feature structure of thin-walled spherical shell micro-components is disclosed, relating to the field of micro-component
processing technology. This invention can meet the requirements of high-precision, stable, and controllable removal of full surface feature structures of thin-walled spherical shell micro-components under micro-scale constraints. Key technical points: The method includes spatially uniform distribution of feature structures, micro-structure
processing sequence planning, and multi-point milling
path generation. The thin-walled spherical shell micro-component to be processed is observed offline using an
optical microscope to obtain the coordinates of feature points on the contour edge of the micro-component, and the
diameter of the micro-component is obtained by fitting. Based on the
secondary development platform of UG
software, a micro-structure
processing sequence planning method driven by the shortest processing path is established to complete the above-mentioned full surface micro-structure processing
sequence planning of the micro-component. Based on the
point set coordinates optimized by the spherical
point set uniform distribution iterative
algorithm and the processing sequence driven by the "shortest processing path," combined with the configuration characteristics of ultra-precision
shape control machining equipment and the micro-structure processing requirements, the coordinates of several uniformly distributed point sets with the center of the micro-component as the origin are transformed into a
machining coordinate
system with the tool setting point as the origin, obtaining the original coordinates of the micro-structure point sets and the corresponding feature angles. This invention is used for full-surface milling of thin-walled spherical shell micro-components.
