Machine-tool control system for turning nonaxisymmetric surfaces

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6049807· OSTI ID:6049807
A development program has been initiated to allow on-axis turning of nonaxisymmetric surfaces. A short-travel high-speed slide is mounted on a precision, numerically controlled, two-axis turning machine. The motion of the auxiliary slide is synchronized with the spindle and the two remaining slides. The report defines the workpiece geometry and requirements, calculations for the slide motion, techniques for real-time command generation, and planned equipment set.
