... out to prove the mathematical equations. Numerical control (NC) simulation of machining the external and internal double circular-arc spiral bevel gears is developed, and the spiral gears were manufactured on a NC milling machine. The prototype of the nutation drive is illustrated in the case study...

... independently. Based on the kinematic model and the length of the redundant limb, the condition that the redundant limb performs assistant homing is determined. The homing strategy is incorporated into the numerical control system of the studied PKM. The test shows that the homing strategy is effective...

...Stephen P. Radzevich; Erik D. Goodman Optimal workpiece orientation for multi-axis sculptured part surface machining is generally defined as orientation of the workpiece so as to minimize the number of setups in 4-, 5- or more axis Numerical Control ( NC ) machining, or to allow the maximal number...
