Abstract

This work deals with the optimisation of tool paths in five-axis machining. The objective is to improve the kinematic behaviour of machine tools during milling. The orientation of the tool axis at each point of a tool path is optimised while ensuring quality constraints. These are modelled using the Domain of Admissible Orientation (DAO) concept expressed in the P-System and transformed into the M-System. This article aims at defining the DAO and presents an example of optimisation using this concept. This optimisation is a minimisation of the movement generated by each rotation axis and is applied to two test parts.
