Advanced parameterization of CAD-CAM process for machining rail wheels on a lathes
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
n this paper some aspects regarding advanced parameterization of a lathe cutting process for a specialized field – rail wheel machining are presented. A method was developed for obtaining an optimum NC file by taking into account: design, machining technology aspects and machine dynamic behavior in cutting process. Some correction coefficient and parameters for CAD, CAM and postprocessors are defined based on the rail wheel dimension and machine displacement. The next step consists of implementation of this method in machining process for smart cutting.
