> The pentahedron processing center can after
guarantee a time of attire clamps, completes many surface the
processing, namely: After a work piece attire clamps, besides
installs the bottom surface five surface processing, concurrently has
the vertical processing center and the horizontal-type processing
center function, in the processing process may guarantee the work
piece the location tolerance, the size uniformity is better. But
pentahedron processing center structure complex, control system
advanced, the construction cost is expensive, in order to fully
displays its efficiency, sets a higher request to corresponding
CAD/CAM software. Because Cimatron 11.0 CAD/CAM software has the
more nimble coordinate transformation function and the rich processing
method, the better adaption pentahedron processing center request,
this article the MCR-BII pentahedron processing center which produces
by Japanese OKUMA Corporation processes a box of body specifically to
show Cimatron CAD/CAM software in the pentahedron processing center
application method, the entire processing flow chart like chart 1
shows. Supposition chart 2 showed the box body bottom surface
already to process completes, took the bottom surface the reduced
plane, simultaneously also the achievement installed the plane, in the
request processing the top, all around the big surface and R.
The MCR-BII pentahedron processing center has has B, the C axis
multi-purpose 铣头, smallest minute for 5°, B axis angle invariable
scope 0 ~ 90°, C axis angle invariable scope 0 ~ 360°.  Adds thick 5mm, with WCUT way rough machining top and
concave cavity. The mechanical coordinates see Figure 2 to show,
the Z axis vertical is upward, sits the punctuation is the work piece
zero point. The processing scope for on top biggest outline, the
part processes the way to see Figure 2 to show. This time
pentahedron processing center B, C axis angle for B=0°, C=0°, this
time similar ordinary processing center 铣削 way.  Chart 3 shows the mechanical coordinates, apply the SRFPKT
processing way parallel 铣削 side. This time B, the C axis
angle for B=90°, C=270°, when 铣削 two hands over the surface the
R transition surface, pays attention along, 逆铣 the way, avoids
cutting. Other surface are similar. The coordinates
revolve are divided two steps: The first step for establishes
the UCS coordinate system, clicks on Cimatron the right menu auxiliary
menu UCS, clicks on CREATE in its sub- menu, after establishes the new
UCS coordinates name, then enters establishes UCS several ways,
chooses ORIGN+ROT in here, then selects the reference coordinate
system namely the coordinate system which revolves, assigns to revolve
the zero point, when inquires about whether revolves time, after
chooses YES to select UCS to assign the rotation axis and the
determination angle, namely establishes the new UCS coordinate system;
The second step is the processing mechanical coordinate system
which the establishment and UCS corresponds. The concrete method
for will click on in UCS sub- menu ACTIVE, designated UCS defines as
the current UCS coordinate system, chooses DISPLAY in the UCS sub-
menu, will select the UCS coordinates demonstration on the current
screen, after will enter the NC system, when will inquire about
CREATING A MACSYS, will select YES, then establishment and current UCS
corresponding processing mechanical coordinate system MACSYS.  Third, this article is worth emphasizing processes the
front part R method, when as a result of cutting tool length limit,
cutting tool vertical 铣削 invalid, may carry on by the certain
angle 铣削, simultaneously when on R also has other characteristics,
direct selection processing scope more troublesome, and is easy to
create the cutting tool the advance, appears the cutting tool and the
work piece collision phenomenon, for this, needs to establish an
assistance plane of reference, see Figure 4 to show, is going to add
the ministry of public works particularly outline vertical projection
to the auxiliary plane in.  When with SRFPKT way processing, the choice projection
processes in the auxiliary plane contour line as the processing scope,
quite is ideal. The processing way see Figure 4. When
official processing, pentahedron processing center B, does the C axis
angle respectively be B=45°, C=0°, how select the cutting tool and
the processing parameter does not discuss in the scope in this
article. Certainly, after the processing way passes through
postpositioned processing, still had to carry on the examination to
the procedure, caused it to conform to the engine bed performance
requirement, prevented in the onset and retreat knife, traded in the
knife process to appear the interference, by above was worthy of
looking at, used Cimatron 11.0 CAD/CAM the coordinate transformation
function and the nimble processing method, might completely solve the
problem, enabled the pentahedron processing center the performance
fully to display.
