3 some basic methods to solve the key technologies

establish the topological model of machine tool processing system

use the topological equivalence relationship to form a machine tool in the topological sense and establish the most general mapping relationship. This kind of mapping relationship refers to the various relationships that affect the processing quality contained in the virtual machine tool processing system, the real machine tool processing system and the virtual machine tool processing system. In the establishment of topological model, we divide the existing machine tools into appropriate components in order to form the corresponding structure. For multi axis machine tools, the difference of the sequence and movement mode of each component will make the composition of tool path and error significantly different. In particular, the adjustment error is closely related to the relative position of each component of the machine tool. Using a characteristic kinematic chain of forming motion, the topological structure of the machine tool can be expressed, and the error fusion is convenient. For example, the forming function of a multi axis machine tool can be expressed as

rw=ai1ai2 AIJ ainrt (1)

in the formula RW position vector of the workpiece in the workpiece coordinate system RT position vector of the tool in the tool coordinate system AIJ homogeneous coordinate transformation matrix from the workpiece to the moving chain component frame of the tool. Here, a certain code can be used to represent the multi axis machine tool. For example, a five axis machine tool can be expressed as w/baxyz/t (z), then the forming function is

rw=a () 5A () 4a (x) 1a (y) 2A (z) 3RT (2)

where x, y, Z are the movement of X, y, z axes, and,, are the rotation of a, B axes. This shaping function forms the rudiment of topology. All subsequent work is based on it

initialization of virtual machine tool processing system the main function of initialization of virtual machine tool processing system is to enable the virtual machine tool processing system to carry out virtual processing according to the existing machine tools more truly, so that the obtained processing results can be quickly applied in the real processing site. This is actually the choice of machine tools in process planning. Although the range of choices becomes quite large at this time. In addition, the virtualization task of the selected machine tool should also be completed here. It requires a lot of parameters and many graphic operations. To complete these tasks, the support of network communication is essential

the data organization form of realistic machined surface and the calculation method of directly picking up errors such as roughness are still under further study. It is necessary to unify the description format of data. Because it will affect all links of the virtual machine tool processing system. At present, the main methods to describe workpiece data are CSG, step, etc. In addition, fractal method can also be used to describe the processing process of graphic data and the micro morphological characteristics of machined surface. In short, the main work at present is to comprehensively consider the existing methods and various possible factors and summarize an appropriate scheme

consideration of motion, geometric error model and dynamics problem

for the establishment of kinematics model of multi axis machine tool, at present, most of them adopt DH method or make some correction to DH method. There are also four parameter model and five parameter model in error analysis. Although D H method can connect motion, transformation and mapping with matrix operation, it is not very convenient for error calibration and solving problems such as speed and force. The spinor method can obviously simplify the compilation of calculation program, and can deal with free vector and line vector at the same time. The use of this method can not only reduce the difficulty of this research, but also make it clearer

in addition, because the machine tool processing system is a very complex processing technology system, although its research has a long history since its inception, there are still many difficult problems that have not been well explained quantitatively, and the empirical and experimental data still play a leading role; At the same time, its various components have strong connections, and various connecting factors are complex. This brings considerable difficulty to virtual work. Especially, the dynamic error has a great influence on the machining quality. Vibration and the change of processing temperature will play a key role in roughness in a certain range. Using a simplified method to decompose it into relatively independent components to study has become a widely recognized research strategy
