Resultant Cutting Trajectories on Machine Tools with Raster Tool Motion

Resumo

The formation of the resultant raster trajectories in machine tools are established on the basis of Lissajous figures, taking account of additional workpiece motion for finishing purposes. Kinematic and geometric formulas are obtained for the relative tool and workpiece trajectory with strict kinematic coupling. These formulas are required in practice for abrasive lapping. They permit control of the resultant abrasive-cutting trajectory in finishing the precision planes of the workpiece.
