Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of CNC incremental forming for sheet with large forming angle, a generation method for the forming toolpath based on sheet posture multi-directional adjustment was proposed, and the generation algorithm of forming toolpath generated by intersecting the sheet posture surface with the cutter location surface which could adjust the sheet posture surface was studied. Then, the algorithm was implemented in the Windows 7 environment by C++ language, and the application examples of the algorithm were given. The examples show that the algorithm can generate the forming toolpath which can be applied to the sheet posture multi-directional adjustment. Finally, the generation algorithm for the forming toolpath of sheet posture multi-directional adjustment was validated and evaluated by the actual forming experiment. The experimental results show that the forming toolpath can adjust the sheet posture in many directions during the CNC incremental forming to form the sheet with large forming angle successfully. The maximum thickness is 0.872 mm, the minimum thickness is 0.204 mm and the average thickness is 0.729 mm.
