Abstract
In this paper, a new method is proposed to optimize the tool path of 5-axis machining free-form surface based on Basic Curvature Equations of Locally Tool Positioning (BCELTP) [Hu Gong, Li-Xin Cao, Jian Liu. Second order approximation of tool envelope surface for 5-axis machining with single point contact. Computer-Aided Design, 2008; 40: 604-15]. This method can be used to choose local optimum cutting direction with maximum machining strip width easily. Since BCELTP are accurate analytical expressions, the proposed method is accurate and effective in computation.
