数控加工仿真和验证的关键算法

提出了一种快速显示数控加工仿真高质量真实感图形的近似方法。刀具运动扫掠体被划分成一些小区域，系统计算出每个小区域的法向量并将这些向量存储在一个件中。当显示加工动画时不必再计算毛坯表面小平面的法向量，仅仅需要计算是刀具的娜部分切削了该小平面，然后从件中读出对应的法向量。中还提出了一种高效率的NC加工代码验证方法。该方法先计算z方向的误差。如果发现某些点超差，在这些点附近系统自动对毛坯进行进一步细分，计算出表面法向量的误差。

SOME ALGORITHMS FOR NC MACHINING SIMULATION AND VERIFICATION

This paper presents an approximation method to display realistic pictures of numerical control (NC) machining simulation very quickly. T he tool movement envelope is divided into many small regions and the normal to t hese small regions is calculated. The system saves the calculated result in a fi le before starting animation display. When the system starts displaying machinin g animation, it does not need to calculate small triangular facets normal to the workpiece surface. It only needs to find out what part of the cutter cuts the w orkpiece surface and to read the normal from the file. A highly efficient NC cod e verification method is also presented in this paper. The method first detects the error in z direction. If some points are reported to be out of the tolerance , the system divides neighborhood of these points into smaller grids and calcula tes the normal surface at each grid intersection and the error in the normal ve ctor direction.
