Development of working procedures of a 5 Axis CNC milling machine
| Resumo: | The work developed and presented on this dissertation tends to the installation and configurations of a 5-axis CNC machine with the creation of working procedures intended to build a stable workflow that can be employed by any individual expected to use the machine. Being a large field within mechanical engineering as well as being involved in a large selection of different industrial sectors, the concept of 5-axis machining will be explored to develop knowledge in terms of CAM programming and manipulation/optimization of toolpaths. The importance/functioning of the transmission of information both from post-processor to the controller and from the controller to the actual machine is also a critical point in this work as they are directly related to the quality of the parts produced. To accomplish this, the theoretical knowledge foundations regarding CNC machining work were researched, studied, and explained. Furthermore, the machine model in question (HY-6040 5-axis CNC Router) was meticulously analysed regarding to the machines structure, post-processor, and controller. Upon assembling all this information, and through the production of some test parts, a permanent manufacture workflow for different machining approaches was established and described. |
