Study on Post-Processor of Double Swing Head 5-axis Machine Tool with Angle head Spindle

Abstract

In view of the fact that the traditional five-axis machine tool cannot process some parts with complex inner cavity structure (such as hydrostatic bearings), an angle head is arranged on the spindle of the traditional five-axis machine tool to process the parts with complex internal shape. The loading angle head of the double-swing five-axis machine tool is studied as an example. Firstly, the kinematic model of five-axis machine tool with angle head is established by inverse kinematics. Then, a special post-processing software is developed based on JAVA software. Finally, the effectiveness of the method and the algorithm is verified by simulating cutting and actual processing parts. Therefore, it is very important to select the angle head of five-axis machine tool for processing complex inner cavity parts effectively.
