S-shape detection test piece and a detection method for detecting the precision of the numerical control milling machine

A detection method for comprehensively detecting a precision of a five-axis numerical control milling machine using an “S” shaped detection test piece comprising an “S” shaped ruled surface equal thickness edge strip and a rectangular base, respectively forming two “S” shaped curves in two different planes and projections of which in a base plane cross each other and have open and close angle states formed at an intersection, where a motion path of an included angle between said ruled surface and the base plane along the “S” shaped line varies unevenly, the method comprising the following steps:

• A. producing a cuboid blank and a cutting tool with a working length ≧60 mm;
• B. placing the blank horizontally on the five-axis numerical control milling machine to machine the “S” shaped test piece;
• C. sticking peripheral teeth of a cutting tool to the “S” shaped edge strip profile, during the machining, which is then cut into a rough machining “S” shaped edge strip profile by the peripheral teeth of the cutting tool according to preset numerical control programs;
• D. finishing the machining of the rough machining “S” shaped edge strip profile and cutting layer by layer with 3-5 mm each layer along an axial direction of the cutting tool;
• E. evaluating the machined “S” test piece for the five-axis dynamic precision of the machine tool, and evaluating Remote Tool Center Point (RTCP) precision and validity of the post-processing programs according to indexes comprising one or more of edge strip thickness, surface smoothness of the edge strip profile, and appearance of the edge strip profile, and recording measured results in a test chart;
• and
• F. selecting 25 points with an interval (L) on each “S” shaped section line, 75 points total for three section lines, randomly choosing 10 points in every section line, measuring a strip thickness using tube vernier calipers and detecting a dimensional error of all the detection points.
