In order to make use of 5-axis control machining centers, the post-processor plays an important role, which converts collision-free CL data, generated by the main-processor, to actual NC data. The difficulty of developing the post-processor lies in the diversity of the structure of 5-axis control machining centers. The structure of 5-axis control machining centers can be classified into three types, that is, table-tilting type, spindle-tilting type and table/ spindle-tilting type. The study especially deals with the development of the post-processor concerning spindletilting type and table/spindle-tilting type 5-axis control machining centers, taking account of linearization, feed rate control and spindle rotation control. The validity of the post-processor developed in the study is experimentally confirmed.
