T he tool movement envelope is divided into many small regions and the normal to t hese small regions is calculated. The system saves the calculated result in a fi le before starting animation display. When the system starts displaying machinin g animation, it does not need to calculate small triangular facets normal to the workpiece surface. It only needs to find out what part of the cutter cuts the w orkpiece surface and to read the normal from the file. A highly efficient NC cod e verification method is also presented in this paper. The method first detects the error in z direction. If some points are reported to be out of the tolerance , the system divides neighborhood of these points into smaller grids and calcula tes the normal surface at each grid intersection and the error in the normal ve ctor direction.展开更多

This paper introduces a simulation program which can be used in an NC vertical milling machine. A unique method is used for simulating the cutting process and displaying the three dimensional images. This method not only simplifies greatly the treatment of the hidden line but also creates a “photograph effect” image. The program is written in Visual B.展开更多
