Developing postprocessor for five-axes milling machines with dual rotary head
Five axis milling technology has been in use nearly 25 years in VTI Belgrade. Primarily it is used in the production process of wind tunnel models. For generating tool path and the post-processing paths, used postprocessor generated on Siemens PLM NX. Producer of CAD/CAM software, in newer versions,...

| Summary: | Five axis milling technology has been in use nearly 25 years in VTI Belgrade. Primarily it is used in the production process of wind tunnel models. For generating tool path and the post-processing paths, used postprocessor generated on Siemens PLM NX. Producer of CAD/CAM software, in newer versions, the old concept of post processing GPM (Graphics Postprocessor Module) replaced it with a new, improved, module MOM (Manufacturing Output Manager). The VTI are identified in the CNC code for five axes milling, generated using the MOM module, some errors. Product support application engineer confirmed all the allegations VTI. This was the reason for the development of its own postprocessor for five axes milling machines with double rotating head. The paper gives a detailed overview of the development based on the kinematic model of the five-axes milling machine in VTI Belgrade. |
