Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop an automatic process planning and a numerical-control (NC) program generation system for free-form machining, using a turning-milling machine tool with multi-turrets. In this research, machining feature recognition was carried out based on the delta-volume decomposition to achieve process planning. This system can recognize machining features that include one free-form surface and can create a tool path for the free-form surface. A process plan candidate is generated via the assignment of machining features to each turret and the determination of the processing order of the machining features in each turret. The system generates many process plan candidates, and evaluates them based on the evaluation point of the user. In this research, the plan with the shortest machining time is selected. Next, the system automatically generates an NC program for each turret. Ultimately, a machining experiment using a turning-milling machine tool with three turrets was conducted to verify the usefulness of the system.
