Research and Verification on Post-Processing of Mazak Five-Axis Machining Center
With the rapid development of manufacturing industry,the requirements of product structure and precision are higher and higher.The traditional three-axis machining center can't meet the requirements of parts processing,while the five-axis ma-chine tool can well adapt to the machining process of complex parts.However,the machine tool manufacturer will not provide the special post-processing of the equipment for free,which brings great difficulties to the machine tool users,and also wastes the la-bor and time.Aiming at Mazak five-axis machining center,this paper used Tcl script language to write a post-processing system suitable for the machine in UG/post environment.The system can effectively read the CLSF file and generate the corresponding ma-chining program according to the machine requirements.The program can run safely and effectively on Mazak VARIAXIS j-500/5 xmachine tool.Finally,the validity and safety of the post-processing system were proved by machining Spart,which was used to detect five-axis machine tool.
