Method of numerical-control scraping of a work piece

A method of numerical-control scraping of a work piece comprising:

• a preparing step comprising:
• preparing a multi-axis machine tool, a work piece, a laser displacement meter, an auto scraping apparatus and a computer;
• mounting a spindle movably on a top of the multi-axis machine tool along the Z-axis of the multi-axis machine tool with a bottom;
• mounting a loading platform movably on a bottom of the multi-axis machine tool along the X-Y axes of the multi-axis machine tool below the spindle;
• mounting the work piece securely on the loading platform below the spindle with a top surface;
• mounting the laser displacement meter securely on the bottom of the spindle above the loading platform;
• mounting the auto scraping apparatus securely on the bottom of the spindle beside the laser displacement meter to scrape the top surface of the work piece;
• and
• connecting the computer electrically to the multi-axis machine tool to control the movements of the spindle and the loading platform, to the laser displacement meter to receive the measurement results of the top surface of the work piece and to the auto scarping apparatus to enable the auto scarping apparatus to scrape the top surface of the work piece;
• a scanning step comprising:
• moving the loading platform along the X-Y axes of the multi-axis machine tool relative to the spindle to enable the laser displacement meter to scan the variation of the top surface of the work piece;
• reading out of the roughness values of the top surface of the work piece by the laser displacement meter;
• and
• transferring the roughness values of the top surface of the work piece to the computer to form a three-dimensional appearance drawing of the top surface of the work piece in the computer;
• a flatness-parameter inputting step comprising inputting a flatness-parameter according to a desired flatness of the top surface of the work piece;
• a surface-finishing step comprising:
• calculating out the positions, the lengths, the widths and the depths of the to-be-scraped ranges of the top surface of the work piece according to the flatness-parameter and the three-dimensional appearance drawing of the top surface of the work piece by the computer;
• planning a scraping route by the computer according to the positions of the to-be-scraped ranges of the top surface of the work piece and transforming the scraping route into a route signal;
• transmitting the route signal to the multi-axis machine tool to control the movements of the spindle and the loading platform to position the auto scraping apparatus and the work piece;
• transforming the scraping signals of lengths, widths and depths of the top surface of the work piece from the lengths, the widths and the depths of the to-be-scraped ranges of the top surface of the work piece;
• and
• transmitting the scraping signals of lengths, widths and depths of the top surface of the work piece to the auto scraping apparatus to scrape the top surface of the work piece to reach the desired flatness that is set in the flatness-parameter inputting step;
• a related-parameter inputting step comprising:
• inputting a desired points per square inch and a desired contacting ratio per square inch in the computer;
• calculating out the Height of Point, the Depth of Surrounding and the oil content of the top surface of the work piece according to an adjusted data of the auto scraping apparatus;
• calculating out the length and the width of a single scraping process of the auto scraping apparatus;
• and
• calculating out the depth of a single scraping process of the auto scraping apparatus according to the oil content of the top surface of the work piece and the length and the width of a single scraping process of the auto scraping apparatus;
• an auto-scraping step comprising:
• calculating out the positions and a scraping route of the to-be-scraped ranges of the top surface of the work piece by the computer to meet the requirement of oil-even-distribution according to the desired points per square inch and the desired contacting ratio per square inch;
• transforming the positions and a scraping route of the to-be-scraped ranges of the top surface of the work piece into the position signals and a route signal;
• and
• transmitting the position signals and the route signal respectively to the multi-axis machine tool and the auto scraping apparatus to enable the auto scraping apparatus to scrape the top surface of the work piece to meet the requirement of oil-even-distribution;
• and
• an analyzing step comprising:
• scanning the top surface of the work piece after the auto-scraping step;
• forming a 3D-appearance drawing by the scanning data in the computer;
• and
• detecting the 3D-appearance drawing of the work piece that has been scraped with the preceding step, if the 3D-appearance drawing of the work piece meets the requirement of oil-even-distribution, the numerical-control scraping procedure being finished and if the 3D-appearance drawing of the work piece fails to meet the requirement of oil-even-distribution, the operating process being returned repeatedly to the flatness-parameter inputting step or the related-parameter inputting step to adjust the parameters until the 3D-appearance drawing of the work piece meets the requirement of oil-even-distribution.
