Abstract

The aerospace industry have growth rapidly and doubled compare to the past decade because of its several advantages to machine parts such as the complexity and intricate aerospace components. Multi-axis flank contouring was the main machining process used in Catia V5 software. The aerospace wing beam with slanted thin-walled was selected to be machined by five-axis CNC machine with two types of machining strategies, namely Combin Parelm and Combin Tanto in Multi-axis flank contouring process. In this study flank milling was the main focused in performing the physical machining instead point milling. Aluminium 6 series (Al 6063) is chosen to be the main material in producing the pocketing profile for slanted thin-walled. The effect of surface roughness and dimensional accuracy were two main analyses carried out at the end of this research. Analysis was carried out by using Mitutoyo surface roughness machine and Contura Carl Zeiss G2 Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). From the result obtained, Combin Parelm indicate the best strategy to machine slanted thin-wall pocketing profile due to its dimensional accuracy obtained during the result. The main factors to contribute the Combin Parelm was the tool trajectory while machining thin-wall. The implication of the outcome and suggestion for future work are presented. This article presents an exemplary review in this field study and propose a future development.
