A non-uniform allowance allocation method based on interim state stiffness of machining features for NC programming of structural parts

摘要

For thin-walled parts,uniform allowance to each machining surface is allocated by the traditional machining method.Considering the sequence of the adjacent machining features,it may cause poor stiffness for some side walls due to a minor wall thickness,which may cause the deformation of the final formed parts to be large,or deduce machining efficiency for some machining features due to too thick remains.In order to address this issue,a non-uniform allowance allocation method based on interim state stiffness of machining features for the finishing of thin-walled structural parts is proposed in this paper.In this method,the interim state model of machining features is constructed according to the machining sequence of the parts,and the stiffness of the side wall is taken as the evaluation index to allocate reasonable allowance value to the corresponding machining surface to ensure the stiffness requirement of the parts in the machining process.According to the finite element simulation results,the non-uniform allowance allocation method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the stiffness of the parts and reduce the deformation of the parts,when compared with the traditional uniform allowance machining method.
