Abstract

To enhance 5-axis CNC machining precision of complex surfaces with a ball-end cutter, the generation method of cutter contacting (CC) paths is presented in this paper. By means of curvature circle, the feeding length was calculated within allowable error. The step-over in the perpendicular direction of feeding one, was figured out according to the permissible remnant cusps. With the local curvature and the machining error, the step-size was calculated to get the parameter of the next cutter-contacting point. The corresponding spline path of tool center points including knot vector and controlling points was obtained from the cutter contacting points.
