方案二：采用的是渦輪蝸桿加齒輪組的傳動方案齒輪傳動承載能力高，傳動運(yùn)動正確、平穩(wěn)，傳遞功率和圓周速度范圍很大，傳動速率高，結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊。156 特點(diǎn)：1.尺寸小，結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊。 2.傳動平穩(wěn)，噪聲低。 3.可以自鎖。 4.效率低、制造成本。圖 1.2 渦輪蝸桿加齒輪傳動結(jié)構(gòu)簡圖 方案三：采用的是齒輪傳動和錐齒輪的傳動方案 錐齒輪傳動不具備自鎖功能。5- 4 -圖 1.3 齒輪和錐齒輪傳動結(jié)構(gòu)簡圖 設(shè)計中應(yīng)選最優(yōu)方案，故選擇方案二，其結(jié)構(gòu)圖如下：- 5 - 圖1.4 齒輪傳動與渦輪蝸桿傳動結(jié)構(gòu)圖2 數(shù)控回轉(zhuǎn)工作臺的設(shè)計2.1 電動機(jī)的選擇及運(yùn)動參數(shù)的計算在數(shù)控加工加工中心的許多機(jī)械加工都需要原動力來進(jìn)行微量進(jìn)給，而要實(shí)現(xiàn)這些微量進(jìn)給的原動力可以由步進(jìn)電機(jī)、直流伺服電機(jī)、或交流伺服電機(jī)這些可以作為驅(qū)動元件來提供。22.1.1 電動機(jī)類型的選擇- 6 -選擇電動機(jī)的類型主要根據(jù)工作機(jī)械的工作載荷特性，有無沖擊，過載情況，調(diào)速范圍，起動、制動的頻繁程度以及電網(wǎng)供電狀況等。2對恒轉(zhuǎn)矩負(fù)載特性的機(jī)械，應(yīng)選用機(jī)械特性為硬特性的電動機(jī)；對恒功率負(fù)載特性的機(jī)械，應(yīng)選用變速直流電動機(jī)或帶機(jī)械變速的交流異步電動機(jī)。24由于直流電動機(jī)需要直流電源，結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，價格昂貴。因此，當(dāng)交流電動機(jī)能滿足工作機(jī)械要求時，一般不采用直流電動機(jī)?，F(xiàn)場一般采用三相交流電源如無特性要求均應(yīng)采用三相交流電動機(jī)。當(dāng)電動機(jī)需經(jīng)常起動、制動和正反轉(zhuǎn)時（例如起重機(jī)） ，要求電動機(jī)有較小的轉(zhuǎn)動慣量和較大的過載能力因此應(yīng)選用起重及冶金用三相異步電動機(jī)，常用的為 YZ 或 YZR 系列。24此外，根據(jù)電動機(jī)的工作環(huán)境條件，如環(huán)境濕度、溫度、通風(fēng)及有無防塵、防爆等特殊要求，選擇不同的防護(hù)性能的外殼結(jié)構(gòu)形式。根據(jù)電動機(jī)與被驅(qū)動機(jī)械的連接形式，決定其安裝方式，一般采用臥式。所以按照工作要求和工作環(huán)境條件選用交流伺服電動機(jī)。22.1.2 電動機(jī)功率的選擇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)電動機(jī)的容量由額定功率表示。所選電動機(jī)的額定功率應(yīng)等于或稍大于工作要求的功率。容量小于工作要求則不能保證工作機(jī)正常工作，或電動機(jī)長期過載、發(fā)熱大而過早損壞；容量大則增加成本，并且由于功率和功率因數(shù)低而造成浪費(fèi)。27電動機(jī)的容量主要有運(yùn)行時發(fā)熱條件限定，在不變或變化很小的載荷下長期連續(xù)運(yùn)行的機(jī)械，只要其電動機(jī)的負(fù)載不超過額定值，電動機(jī)便不會過熱，通常不必校驗(yàn)發(fā)熱和發(fā)起力矩。27 （1）電動機(jī)的選擇按照以上工作要求和條件選用交流伺服電動機(jī)。初步定電機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速為960r/min。 （2）功率的計算T=FS=20009.820010=3920N.3回轉(zhuǎn)工作臺的轉(zhuǎn)速為：n=960/403=8r/min.電動機(jī)的工作效率為：=0.97w工作所需功率： p =Tn/9950=39208/(99500.97)=3.3kw (3.17)ww電機(jī)所需的輸出功率為： p =p /0w- 7 -式中：為電機(jī)至工作臺之間的總效率。齒輪：=0.97 軸承：=0.9912蝸桿：=0.8 聯(lián)軸器：=0.96 34因此，總效率=0.970.99 0.80.96=0.69.126346 p =p /=3.3/0.69=4.8kw.0w則取電機(jī)額定功率為：p =5.5kw 電機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速為：n=960r/min.m2.2 齒輪傳動的設(shè)計一級傳動為齒輪傳動，其傳動比為：i=32.2.1 選擇齒輪傳動的類型和材料 1）選用直齒圓柱齒輪傳動； 2）工作臺的轉(zhuǎn)速不高，故選用 7 級精度； 3）材料選擇。由機(jī)械設(shè)計中表(10-1)選擇小齒輪材料為 40Cr（調(diào)質(zhì)） ，硬度為 280HBS，大齒輪材料為 45 鋼（調(diào)質(zhì)） ，硬度為 240HBS。1 4）選小齒輪齒數(shù) Z =24，大齒輪齒數(shù)取 Z =72。122.2.2 按齒輪接觸疲勞強(qiáng)度設(shè)計 由機(jī)械設(shè)計中設(shè)計計算公式（10.9a）進(jìn)行計算，即 d 2.32 t 123).(1.HEdZuuKT（10.9a） （1）確定公式內(nèi)的各計算數(shù)值。 1）試選載荷系數(shù) K =1.3。t 2）計算小齒輪傳遞的轉(zhuǎn)矩。 T =95.510 5.5/960 (3.17)1nPm5105 .955 =5.45710 Nmm 4 3）由機(jī)械設(shè)計中表(10-7)選取齒寬系數(shù)=1。d 4）由機(jī)械設(shè)計中表(10-6)查的材料的彈性影響系數(shù) Z =189.8MPa 。1E21 5）由圖(10-21d)按齒面硬度查的小齒輪的接觸疲勞強(qiáng)度極限=600MPa。1limH- 8 -大齒輪的接觸疲勞強(qiáng)度極限=550MPa。12limH 6）由式（10.13）計算應(yīng)力循環(huán)次數(shù)。 N =60n j=609601(1282508)=1.8410 11hL9（10.13） N =N /3=0.61410219 7) 由圖(10-19)取接觸疲勞壽命系數(shù)=0.90；=0.95。1HNK2HNK 8) 計算接觸疲勞需用應(yīng)力。取失效概率為 1%，安全系數(shù) S=1，由式（10.12）得 =0.9600=540MPa H1SKHN1lim1（10.12） =0.95550=522.5MPa H2SKHN2lim2（10.12） （2） 計算 1) 試算小齒輪分度圓直徑 d ，代入中較小值。t 1Hd 2.32=2.32=53.86mmt 123).(1.HEdZuuKT324)5 .5228 .189(3411047. 53 . 1 2）計算圓周速度。=2.7m/s10006011ndt10006096086.53 3）計算齒寬 b.b=153.86=53.86mmtdd1 4）計算齒寬與齒高之比。hb模數(shù) =2.24mmtm11zdt2486.53齒高 =2.25=2.252.24=5.05mmhtm=10.67hb05. 586.53 5）計算載荷系數(shù)。- 9 -根據(jù)=2.7m/s，7 級精度，由機(jī)械設(shè)計中圖(10-8)查的動載荷系數(shù)=1.12；K直齒輪，；11FaHaKK由機(jī)械設(shè)計中表(10-2)查的使用系數(shù)=1；AK小齒輪選用 7 級精度，=1.423。HK由=10.67，=1.423 查圖(10-13)得=1.35；故載荷系數(shù)1hbHKFK =11.1211.423=1.594 HHVAKKKKK （10.13） 6）按實(shí)際的載荷系數(shù)校正所算得的分度圓直徑，由式（）得a10.10 mm 65.573 . 1594. 186.533311ttKKdd（10.10a） 7）計算模數(shù)mmm，4 . 22465.5711zdm2.2.3 按齒根彎曲強(qiáng)度設(shè)計 由機(jī)械設(shè)計中式（10.5）得彎曲強(qiáng)度的設(shè)計公式為 3211)(2FSaFadYYzKTm（10.5） （1）確定公式內(nèi)的各計算數(shù)值 1）由機(jī)械設(shè)計中圖(10-20c)查得小齒輪的彎曲疲勞強(qiáng)度極限=500MPa；大齒輪的彎曲疲勞強(qiáng)度極限=380MPa；11FE2FE 2）由圖(10-18)取彎曲疲勞壽命系數(shù)=0.85，=0.88；11FNK2FNK 3）計算彎曲疲勞許用應(yīng)力。取彎曲疲勞安全系數(shù) S=1.4，由式（10.12）得 MPaSKFEFNF57.3034 . 150085. 0111（10.12）- 10 -

IntroductionWe have recently attendedtothe irreversibledevelopmentof computers, that now are cheaper, more friendly and,consequently, more diffused in modern industries. Compu-ters have been used in the industry sector for several years indifferent stages: in the design stage using CAD systems;in the process planning stage using CAPP systems; in theproduction stage using CAM systems.Since afewyearsago,thesethreestages were isolated oneby another and each stage should have answered specificproblems and questions. Sometimes it happened that theproduction stage imposed some essential conditions to theother stages (as an example, when the designer establishesthe tolerance for the piece; or when it is necessary to makesome change to the piece during the production stage sincethere is an impossible or difficult machine production), butthe three stages were strictly separated.Moreover, it was thought that it was impossible fordifferent programs, written by different programmers withdifferent logics, to speak to each other. Recently,different programs tried to communicate in order to solvesome problems, but this is very difficult to be achieved.There exist a number of programs which are able toperform that way, but they are not universal programs:they are very specialized programs which can be used onlyin specific fields using powerful computers. As a matter offact,itisnecessarytodevelopauniversalsoftwareeasytobeused by a simple, common and very cheap PC.Numerical Control machines are very commonly used fortheir ability to help industries to achieve an increase inproductivity and in quality at the lowest costs. As a matter offact, NC machines are faster and more precise than tradi-tional ones and they work very accurate surfaces, but aremore expensive and it is more difficult to use them than thetraditional ones.Moreover, it is necessary to compile a specific program tobe read by the machine control unit in order to obtain thedata needed to exactly move the tool. This program (calledpart program) is written using a particular programminglanguage that can be read by every NC machine (machineshave to be similar: turning machines, end milling machines,etc.).The first problem we meet using NC machines is thatwhen the programmer makes a mistake in writing the partprogram, the piece will not be realized the way we want, butit will have a different shape or different features. But itcould be more dangerous (and also expensive) if the pro-grammingmistakegivesthetoolamotioncommandthatcangenerate a collision between the tool and the fixed parts ofthe machine, because of the speed of the NC machine tool ishigher than that of the traditional machine tool.We have other problems using NC machines, for examplehow to choose the right depth or feed rate or how to choosethe shape of the workpiece in order to minimize the materialwaste. As a rule, in order to solve these problems somecutting tests are realized, but they are very expensive to beimplemented since they are a waste of human resources,time, materials and money.Moreover, not all the problems are very easy to be solvedbyimplementingonetestonly,sothatthetesthastobemadeagain over and over. It should be really useful to makevirtual cutting tests using computers instead of NCmachines and as much useful should be the possibility toJournal of Materials Processing Technology 109 (2001) 290293*Corresponding author.0924-0136/01/$ see front matter # 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.PII: S0924-0136(00)00812-8display the space regions crossed by the machine tool duringthe processing work.The diffusion of electronic realistic representation sys-temsofmechanicalpiecessuggestsustousetheminordertorealize a virtual simulation of the cutting tests for the threeaxis end milling machine 15.Our task was to create a software which can directly readand interpret the part program and display it using theAutoCAD solid modeler. Our software makes it possibleto compare the tested piece on the screen either with theproject piece or with the workpiece, and it shows the toolpath, so that dangerous collisions can be monitored.2. The cutting processThe cutting process is the result of an interferencebetween the tool and the workpiece, and it can be simulatedby a number of Boolean operations between primitives.The tool, an end milling tool, can be represented by arevolution AutoCAD solid. The tools swept volume canbe represented by surfaces, while edges and vertexes of thisvolume are created by the tool motion. Every primitivecreates its own swept volume, depending on the motiondirection. For example, a cylindric tool can move followinga line which can be parallel or orthogonal to the tool axis. Inthe first case,the swept volume is a higher cylinder, in thesecond case the swept volume is a combination of a boxand two half cylinders.A cutting process on a circular line can be represented bythe motion of a closed polyline (the tools cross-section)around a revolution axis (Fig. 1). These solids can besubtracted from the solid representing the workpiece, inorder to simulate the end milling cutting process.3. AutoCADAutodesks AutoCAD was the most popular and verypowerful CAD software for PC since it was introduced in1982. It has always been providing AutoLISP and ADSprogramming interfaces in order to develop customizedapplications. ADS is more efficient and easier to be usedthan LISP and it has been offered as an alternative interfacesince version R11. ADS uses ANSI-C as the programminglanguage since it has been the most widely accepted lan-guage for the development of miscellaneous applications. Itcan also use all portable ANSI-C libraries.We developed our software in 1996 using AutoCAD R12.At that time AutoCAD used AME for solid modeling, but ithas switched to ACIS standard since version R13. With thenewly released R14, we decided to upgrade our softwarebecause of the ACISs faster computing efficiency and moreprecise description of solids. Moreover, it reduces the size ofthe drawing files. As a consequence, ACIS is able to handlevery complicated models much better than AME can.4. The developed softwareOursoftwareiswrittenusingClanguagetobeexecutedinAutoCAD ADS environment with some instructions pecu-liar to AutoCAD commands execution 6,7.The software is divided into two fundamental parts:? The first part creates an interface between the part pro-gram and the AutoCAD ambient.? The second part makes the part program data ready to beread and interpreted.The part program contains some instructions about thetool path (Gxx instructions), geometrical characteristics(like points coordinates or joint radius), technological char-acteristics (feed rate, spindle speed, etc.): the softwareinterprets the geometrical instructions only.The software runs inside AutoCAD and the operator candraw the workpiece or load it as an external file, choose thetool shape (there are four types of tool: cylindric, cylindricball-end, half sphere, sphere) and its dimensions: the soft-ware calculate and draw the cross-section of the tool that isan AutoCAD polyline (Fig. 2). Now the operator has to loadthe part program and the simulation can start.Fig. 1. Tools swept volume.Fig. 2. Tool options.R. Licari et al./Journal of Materials Processing Technology 109 (2001) 290293291The procedure, first of all, analyses the geometricalcharacteristics and organizes them in a chronological order(for example: the X-coordinate of the start point of a genericmotion is called oldX, the X-coordinate of the end point iscalled valX.After this first step, the software interprets the motioninstructions (G00, G01, G02 and G03) given by the partprogram and draws them through the AutoCAD commandsExtrude and Revolve. The Extrude AutoCAD com-mand can add the 3D to a 2D closed polyline, whereas theRevolve AutoCAD command realizes a revolution solidfrom a 2D closed polyline.TheG00instructionrepresentsthemotionsofthetoolwhenit does not touch theworkpiece: in our work it is representedby a prismatic AutoCAD solid. The cross-section of thissolid is the same as the tool and it is obtained by Extrudecommand. The simulation of this motionis useful in order toverify the possibility of a collision with fixturing.The G01 instruction represents the motions of the toolwhen it touches the workpiece: in our work it is representedby a prismatic AutoCAD solid. The cross-section of thissolid is still the same as the tool and it is obtained by theExtrude command. The Extrude AutoCAD commanduses a segment; its start point has oldX, oldY, oldZas coordinates and its end point has valX, valY, valZas coordinates.NoticethatinordertoexecutetheExtrudecommand,itisnecessary tohave the Z-axis aligned with that segmentandthe polyline lying on the XY plane. For this reason we havecreated the same instructions to change the AutoCADcoordinate system (UCS: user coordinate system).The G02 and the G03 instructions are represented byrevolution solids. These solids are created by the rotation ofthe cross-section of the tool around a revolution axis. Thisaxis starts from the center of the fillet and is perpendicular tothe XY plane.As the part program does not include the informationsneeded by AutoCAD in order to draw this solid, it wasnecessary for us to realize some calculation subroutines inorder to obtain the essential information from the partprogram data. Now the operator can start the simulation.Hechoosestheworkpiece(orhedrawsit)andhechoosestheshape and the dimension of the tool; the software automa-tically draws a polyline and puts it in the so-called restpoint, far away from the workpiece. The tool has aprogramming point: it is the point that follows the partprogram trajectory (Fig. 3).When our software processes a G00 or G01 instruction, ithas two options:1. The start point Z-coordinate is different from the endpoint Z-coordinate: we have a vertical motion and thesoftware draws a cylinder with the same radius of thetool and h ? ?Z2? Z1?.2. The start point Z-coordinate is the same as the end pointZ-coordinate: the tool moves on the XY plane and thesoftware makes a copy of the polyline cross-section ofthe tool and moves it towards the start point of themotion. The software changes the UCS (the Z-axis isaligned with the segment from the start point to the endpoint) and rotates the polyline since it has to beperpendicular to the Z-axis. Now the polyline can beextruded and the software draws a solid representing thetool motion (Fig. 4).When our software processes a G02 or a G03 instruction,the tool moves on the XY plane and the software makes acopy of the polyline cross-section of the tool and moves ittowards the end point (G02) or the start point (G03) of themotion. The result of this procedure is the revolution axis,the revolution of the polyline and the drawing of a solidrepresenting the tool motion (Fig. 5).At the end of the simulation, the operator can see on themonitor of his PC the complete tool path. But he has now aFig. 3. Tools programming point.Fig. 4. G01 command simulation.292R. Licari et al./Journal of Materials Processing Technology 109 (2001) 290293CAD file: this tool path is an AutoCAD solid, which can bemeasured, which perspective can be changed, which volumecan be calculated. He can also use another AutoCADcommand: the Subtract command by which he obtainsthe final shape of the workpiece and he can measure it, hecan change the viewpoint or obtain geometric informationon volume, center of gravity and so on.We have tested our software using some part program andthe results have been very flattering: it was very easy, fastand cheap to make these simulations. In Fig. 6 is reported asample image obtained with our software.Thesamplerepresentsaworkpieceof300mm?300mm ? 50mm mold-base steel with a central hole (dia-meter of 175 mm). The image shows the fixturing and themachinedpart witha ball-endtool (diameter of40 mm).Theapproximated simulation time for this piece is less than1 min using a Personal Computer equipped with a Pentium133 MHz processor and 32 MB memory RAM. So it ispossible to repeat the cutting simulation by changing thegeometrical parameters in a few minutes, in order to opti-mize the programming stage.5. ConclusionsThe part program check is very expensivein terms of timeand human resources if it is manually made. Thanks to theability to correct programming mistakes after the post-processing stage, many cutting tests can be cancelled, andthe machine functionally used. The developed software is avalid support to easily and quickly verify the part program.As a matter of fact, it can be integrated with a powerfulcommon CAD software that can manage a solid modeler.Thanks to it, the designerprogrammer is able to immedi-ately see the piece and the mistakes of the shape or of thecutting process. Moreover, since the rendering image ofsimulated results can closely represent the machined part,this software provides a better approach for NC simulationand verification on Personal Computer.The simulated figure is a solid model that can give all thatgeometric information impossible to be produced by anyother simulation procedures (such as volume, center ofgravity, etc.). In addition, the solid model can also bedisplayed from different perspectives able to give a realisticrepresentation of the piece. The model can also be manipu-lated for further application. Moreover, this software cansimulate complicated part programs in a few minutes usinga cheap Personal Computer and a very common CADsoftware.References1 W.P. Wang, K.K.
