Abstract
A computer-supported procedure to create NC-code with optimum paths and cutting conditions in 2 1/2 axis NC milling is introduced. The raw material and the final workpiece shape are derived from an IGES file created by means of the used CAD system. Various tool motion strategies with optimized cutting conditions are checked, that one leading to a minimum cutting time is selected and the corresponding NC-code is generated. The optimum values of feedrate and cutting speed for every region of the examined tool path are calculated considering cutting forces, tool wear, machine tool power and tool deflection.
