本文介绍了一种用于CAM系统的车床粗加工刀具轨迹生成的新方法。通过这种方法，CAM系统可以利用CAD系统中的几何数据自动识别表面加工特征，用加工特征描述工件，生成坯料和加工过程，最终生成各种轴的二维粗加工刀具轨迹。该方法可以有效地开发集成化、智能化的CAD/CAM系统，实现设计-生产一体化。

THIS PAPER INTRODUCES A NEW METHOD TO BE APPLIED TO CAM SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING ROUGH CUTTER PATH FOR LATHES. WITH THIS METHOD, THE CAM SYSTEM CAN AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFY SURFACE MACHINING FEATURES WITH GEOMETRIC DATA FROM A CAD SYSTEM, DESCRIBE THE WORKPIECE WITH MACHINING FEATURES, GENERATE STOCK BAR AND MACHINING PROCESS AND FINALLY GENERATE 2-D ROUGH CUTTER PATH FOR ALL KINDS OF SHAFTS. WITH THIS METHOD AN INTEGRATED AND INTELLIGENT CAD/CAM SYSTEM CAN BE EFFECTIVELY DEVELOPED AND DESIGN-PRODUCTION INTEGRITY CAN BE REALIZED.
