Abstract
A method and a system for machining a work piece by a machining tool are provided. The method includes relatively moving the machining tool against the work piece to apply machining feeds therebetween. The contact points at the work piece are arranged on the area of the work piece to be machined, and the contact points at the machining tool form a curve on the machining tool surface. The system includes a manipulator, a machining tool and a controller being adapted for controlling the manipulator to operate the machining tool according to the method as above. With this solution, the system can generate wave paths of a machining tool, so as to extend the life of the tool and ensure the processing quality.
Claims19
A method for machining a work piece by a machining tool, comprising:
- relatively moving the machining tool against the work piece along a first movement and a second movement to apply machining feeds therebetween, the first movement being a normal tool path defining an area of the work piece to be machined and the second movement being an axial offset along an axis of the machining tool;
- wherein:
- the contact points at the work piece are arranged on the area of the work piece to be machined;
- and
- the first and second movements are synchronized such that the contact points at the machining tool form a plurality of evenly distributed curves on the machining tool surface.
A robot system for machining a work piece, including:
- a manipulator;
- a machining tool;
- and
- a controller, being adapted for controlling the manipulator to operate the machining tool to:
- relatively move the machining tool against the work piece along a first movement and a second movement to apply machining feeds therebetween, the first movement being a normal tool path defining an area of the work piece to be machined and the second movement being an axial offset along an axis of the machining tool;
- wherein:
- the contact points at the work piece are arranged on the area of the work piece to be machined;
- and
- the first and second movements are synchronized such that the contact points at the machining tool form a plurality of evenly distributed curves on the machining tool surface.
