碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 機械工程學系碩博士班 === 94 === Virtual reality technology has been applied to various industries, such as semiconductor, aerospace and automobile. A virtual multi-axis machine tool can be used to verify the machining process and evaluate manufacturability. The virtual multi-axis machine tool based on commercial software has limitations to expand. Because the functions of library cannot meet the demands of the developer, the objective of this thesis is to develop virtual environment based on OpneGL library. Modified D-H notation is used to represent the relative position and motion direction of machine tool axes for universal assembly of five-axis virtual machine tool. In the assembly process, the system will assign the coordinate frames of machine tool axes according to Modified D-H notation. This can assist users assembling the five-axis virtual machine tool efficiently and effectively. In this thesis, user interface is developed and the system display is based on OpenGL. With the interface, users can select configuration and assemble virtual machine tool. Finally, a five-axis machine tool was taken as an example to perform the assembly and simulate the machine tool motion. The motion simulation of machining an industrial blade was verified by VERICUT software.
