Abstract
Programs for 5 axis machining is not complex task but also tedious to understand and implement for new CNC programmers. Hence for making the concept of 5-axis easy for understanding at zero damage of the machine tool it is necessary for developing virtual platform which will give real time feel of the actual CNC machine. The concept of 5 axis simultaneous machining is not as the same as that of the 3 axis programming as there is two more axis operating simultaneously. This constraint makes 5 axis program is bit complex for the new programmers it is needed to be done in virtual environment. This paper explains a systematic procedure of developing a virtual 5 axis machine tool in PLM platform (Product lifecycle Management). This virtual platform is not only used for training purpose but also for identifying collision detection between the machine components and work piece. Standard procedure is applied to 5-axis table-table configuration builded in SIEMENS NX 12 software. This process implies 3 major steps. The first step is simplifying the hierarchy based kinematic chain. The second step implies assignment of specific movements of the machine components. The last step is the assignment of the virtual controller and its respective post processor. On completion of the above procedure validation is done by same by generating by the 5 axis program on gear bracket component.
