Abstract

Appealed by high-speed Z-constant machining with high quality, an algorithm of generating Z-constant toolpath in NC machining was presented based on the cutter location surface and its Zmap model. It guarantees that the toolpath of climb cutting can be obtained in consideration of the cutter location surface Zmap model features, thus to gain a qualified surface. This method was realized successfully in business software: CAXA-ME, which with satisfying computing speed and stability.
