The 5-axis NC machining offers the potential of efficient and accurate machining. However, the present CAM system for 5-axis control is still an unsolved problem due to interference between tool and surrounding objects. A new method is presented. There are two steps in this procedure. First, it detects the interference by calculating the shortest distance between the tool-axis and the surrounding surfaces. Then upon the maximum gouging, the interference-free tool posture for 5-axis NC cylindrical milling free-form surfaces is obtained by adjusting tool. The validity of the proposed method has been confirmed by machining an impeller.
