Simulation-based deburring tool and process development

Virtual Prototyping of a Compliant Spindle for Robotic Deburring

“…For what concerns past literature dealing with deburring processes, a review of several models for the prediction of the cutting forces is reported in [5] (e.g. linear models by Altintas [6] and exponential model by Kienzle [7]), whereas CAD/CAM-assisted methods have been recently proposed in [8]. In any case, most of the previous works simply neglects the influence of the tool compliance, whose complex interaction with the deburring process is experienced only on the physical test rig.…”

Precision Robotic Machining: Modelling and Control Innovations for Improved Performance

“…The contouring path consists of a time-series of 3D tool centre target points p p , unit-length normal direction vectors u n , and commanded forces f d . The planning of such a path has been extensively covered in works such as [66][67][68]193] and can be accomplished in CAD/CAM software packages such as Solidworks CAM [194] or Siemens NX CAM [195]. As the robot contours the part, an admittance controller corrects for path errors by modifying the tool centre from p p a distance a along u n to the corrected tool position p t , as…”

“…The geometry of the part is assumed to be available in terms of primitives such as lines, arcs, and points, and it is assumed that a contouring path is planned around the part, as shown in Figure C.3, consisting of a timeseries of 3D points p p , and unit-length normal direction vectors u n . Such path planning is has been addressed in literature [66][67][68]193] and is possible in many CAD/CAM software packages [194,195]. An admittance controller is employed to correct for path errors by the state estimate ρ.…”
