Abstract:
A method of determining machining instructions for milling machinery comprising at least a three-axis computer numerical control milling machine during machining of a work piece to machine precise concave and convex surfaces within a metal block, said method comprising, in combination, using a machine having a spinning form cutter and a rotary table, the surfaces of the work piece being defined by a plurality of programmed instructions for said computer numerical control milling machine obtained by trigonometric analysis of required curvatures of the surfaces and movements of said spinning form cutter and said rotary table, said movement of said spinning form cutter being in a convex path and said movement of said rotary table being to rotate simultaneously from a plus rotation angle to a minus rotation angle and, alternatively, from a minus rotation angle to a plus rotation angle, said programmed instructions determined by said trigonometric analysis of a diagram of required concave and convex surfaces of resulting root section of a turbine blade and movements of said spinning form cutter and rotary table, said root section having at least a first hook as a first holding hook.
