Preferably, the high speed of feed of withdrawing cutter track employing is the top speed of lathe.
More specifically, technical scheme of the present invention is: a kind of slotting milling cutter method for optimizing route, and its optimization method is as follows:
1) mill machining path and part geometry shape according to existing inserting, calculate the slow process tool route that falls;
2) cutter path that fall processing excessively slow for resulting increase, calculate to insert to mill and move cutter, rapid return, and each step of optimization inserts and mills the cutter path of the degree of depth;
Principle of work of the present invention is: at first according to cutter location and generating tool axis vector, and the geometric data of surface of the work, calculate slow the falling a little when single step is slotting mills, and generate corresponding cutter location and generating tool axis vector; Again according to cutter location, generating tool axis vector, workpiece, calculate feasible withdrawing position, and generate corresponding cutter location and generating tool axis vector; Finally the circulation on the plug in milling cutter road of each single step is coupled together, and generate the cutter location file of standard.
Wherein calculating slowly while falling cutter track, comprising the speed planning that falls cutter track to slow.Slow cutter track of falling is the cutter track of cutter while just having entered workpiece, and this moment is larger to the impact of cutter, therefore gives lower speed of feed.
When calculating moved the cutter cutter track, the feasible cutter direction of moving referred to move and can not interfere with workpiece to fixing a cutting tool the party.Make cutter leave workpiece owing to moving the cutter cutter track, so the withdrawing cutter track can adopt higher speed of feed, be generally the top speed of lathe.
When cutter track slotting milled the degree of depth before and after optimize calculating, cut wide unexpected increase in order to prevent cutter, the slotting slotting depth as shallow of milling of milling the last cutter of depth ratio of a cutter after should guaranteeing.
