Em. Lim et al., INTEGRATED PLANNING FOR PRECISION MACHINING OF COMPLEX-SURFACES .2. APPLICATION TO THE MACHINING OF A TURBINE BLADE DIE, International journal of machine tools & manufacture, 37(1), 1997, pp. 77-91
The applications of the proposed cutting-path-adaptive-feedrate strate
gy, described in part 1 of this paper, to real three-dimensional compl
ex surfaces are examined. Its applications to the aerospace, automobil
e, and die-mold industries are of particular interest. As an example,
the proposed strategy is used in planning the machining of a turbine b
lade die. This process consists of rough milling (using the stock mate
rial), and the subsequent semi-finish and finish milling operations. C
omputer simulations along with experimental verifications are presente
d in this paper. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
