Summary: The article presents a new strategy to enhance efficiency in complex structure machining by proposing a low-cost five-axis four-linkage milling system as an alternative to the expensive five-axis five-linkage system. Kinematic analysis is used to establish a correlation between tool location data and kinematic axis displacement. An interpolation algorithm is devised to determine a four-axis linkage milling strategy, resulting in reduced theoretical errors in the interpolation trajectory. The practical application of this novel milling strategy proves its effectiveness in processing integral impellers within acceptable efficiency parameters, providing a theoretical foundation for its application in high-precision five-axis five-linkage machine tools.

Summary: This study focuses on the contouring control problem of a five-axis machine tool. With the presence of rotation axes, two coordinate systems are involved, namely the workpiece coordinate system and the machine coordinate system. The challenge lies in designing a controller in the machine coordinate system that meets the requirements in the workpiece coordinate system. Another challenge is to minimize both the position contour error and tool orientation error. The method of equivalent errors is adopted for the design of the contouring controller, transforming the desired path and tool orientation in the workpiece coordinate system into a five-dimensional hyper-curve in the machine coordinate system. Numerical and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed contouring control method.
