文摘

A new plunge milling tool path generation method using medial axis transform is proposed to control the radial depth to improve the cutting efficiency and cutter life. Radial depth have great influences on cutting force and cutter life. Traditional plunge milling tool path generation methods such as zigzag may lead to large radial depth on some cutter locations. It is hard for these methods to judge and adjust the real radial depth. The method proposed in this paper is based on the inscribed circle of the offset contour generated by medial axis transform. Radial depth can be easily controlled in this method. Experiments showed that both the cutting efficiency and the cutter life were improved.
