對於需要與傳動機構設計配合的空間凸輪加工，向來均以專用機及專用軟體依創成銑削來製造，無法使用泛用型CAD/CAM系統產生所需的刀具位置檔案。但由於嚙合件之幾何外形時常相當複雜，使得刀具的選用受到限制。因此本文以具船形嚙合件繞線凸輪(Spool Winding Cam)機構為例，基於創成與雕刻複合銑削法，建立空間凸輪多軸加工刀具位置檔，以突破創成銑削法的限制。首先依據凸輪與嚙合件的幾何外形與運動特性，進行繞線凸輪曲面推導與刀具位置與方位之設定。再透過依工具機構形所開發之後處理程式，產生銑削繞線凸輪的數值控制程式。經由幾何建模與實體切削模擬軟體的模擬與試切削實驗，證實了所提之方法可實際運用於繞線凸輪四軸數值控制銑削加工。

To obtain the flexibility of choice of cutting tool and to compensate the wear of the cutting tool, this thesis presents a interference-free toolpath generating method which combines the advantages of the generating method and the sculpturing method for machining a spatial cam. The notion of the proposed method is that the cutting tool is confined within the meshing element and the motion of the cutting tool follows the meshing element so that collision problem can be avoided. To demonstrate the proposed toolpath generation, a type of spatial cam with boat shape meshing elements called spool winding cam for loom mechanism is selected.
Based on the envelope theory, homogeneous coordinate transformation and differential geometry, the cutter location using the cylindrical end mill is derived and the cutting path sequences with the minimum lead in and lead out are planned. In order to establish the interface between the design and the manufacture of spatial cam, the postprocessor for multi-axis machine tool is developed. The generated toolpath is verified before actual machining through solid cutting simulation. Then, the toolpath is converted into NC program by the postprocessor. The five-axis machine tool is used to perform the actual machining. The proposed methodology can be used to automate the programming of tool paths for four-axis machining of spatial cam.
