Description
Summary:As for blisk blade profile polishing, the “five-axis numerical control + flexible grinding head + elastic grinding tool” polishing process equipment has advantages of high precision, little interference, good adaptivity, etc.; in order that the elastic grinding tool (abrasive cloth wheel) can effectively fit in with the blade profile in the polishing process and polishing quality and efficiency can be improved, a polishing path programming method of the elastic grinding tool was studied, feed mode of the elastic grinding tool and parametric method of the blade profile were proposed, and calculation methods of offset surface, polishing spacing, polishing step size and cutter-axis vector were given; this polishing path programming method makes it possible for the flexible spindle mechanism keeps a reasonable pose during the polishing process so that the elastic grinding tool can not only effectively fit in with the blade profile but also the polishing force direction of the elastic grinding tool is basically identical with normal vector direction of the polishing point; the polishing test results indicate that: After polishing, blade surface roughness is smaller than 0.4 μm and blade profile tolerance is within the tolerance zone, thus satisfying technical requirements and indicating that the technology proposed in this paper can satisfy blisk blade profile polishing requirements.
