Abstract
Given an efficient process, five-axis milling is a productive technology that can help production industries in countries with a high level of workers’ wages to remain competitive on the global market. For planning the required machining processes, engineers have to be supported by methods and tools. In current research at WZL of RWTH Aachen and IPT of Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, a CAx framework for simulation-based planning of complex machining processes is developed. This software tool, embedded in a CAM system, bases on coupled models of numerical controllers, machine tools, control loops and cutting processes. For supporting an iterative optimization without long computational times, the optimization concept focuses on the identification of critical areas in NC programs regarding effects of different domains (e.g. control, machine, and process). These effects can be determined by applying a sensitivity analysis in combination with tracing tools, as it is exemplarily presented for NC effects.
