A new method, which accurately predicts cutting force in ball end milling considering cutting edge around center web, has been proposed. The new method accurately calculates the uncut chip thickness, which is required to estimate the cutting force by the instantaneous rigid force model. In the instantaneous rigid force model, the uncut chip thickness is generally calculated on the cutting edge in each minute disk element piled up along the tool axis. However, the orientation of tool cutting edge of ball end mill is different from that of square end mill. Therefore, for the ball end mill, the uncut chip thickness cannot be calculated accurately in the minute disk element, especially around the center web. Then, this study proposes a method to calculate the uncut chip thickness along the vector connecting the center of the ball and the cutting edge. The proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the uncut chip thickness especially around the center web compared with the previous method. Our study also realizes to calculate the uncut chip thickness discretely by using voxel model and detecting the removal voxels in each minute tool rotation angle, in which the relative relationship between a cutting edge and a workpiece, which changes dynamically during tool rotation. A cutting experiment with the ball end mill was conducted in order to validate the proposed method. The results showed that the error between the measured and predicted cutting forces can be reduced by the proposed method compared with the previous method.

End Milling Process

An accurate prediction of cutting forces in the micro end milling, which is affected by many factors, is the basis for increasing the machining productivity and selecting optimal cutting parameters. This paper develops a dynamic cutting force model in the micro end milling taking into account tool vibrations and run-out. The influence of tool run-out is integrated with the trochoidal trajectory of tooth and the size effect of cutting edge radius into the static undeformed chip thickness. Meanwhile, the real-time tool vibrations are obtained from differential motion equations with the measured modal parameters, in which the process damping effect is superposed as feedback on the undeformed chip thickness. The proposed dynamic cutting force model has been experimentally validated in the micro end milling process of the Al6061 workpiece. The tool run-out parameters and cutting forces coefficients can be identified on the basis of the measured cutting forces. Compared with the traditional model without tool vibrations and run-out, the predicted and measured cutting forces in the micro end milling process show closer agreement when considering tool vibrations and run-out.

Force Relationship

This paper presents an improved mechanistic cutting force model for the ball-end milling process. The objective is to accurately model the cutting forces for nonhorizontal and cross-feed cutter movements in 3D finishing ball-end milling. Main features of the model include: (1) a robust cut geometry identification method to establish the complicated engaged area on the cutter; (2) a generalized algorithm to determine the undeformed chip thickness for each engaged cutting edge element; and (3) a comprehensive empirical chip-force relationship to characterize nonhorizontal cutting mechanics. Experimental results have shown that the present model gives excellent predictions of cutting forces in 3D ball-end milling.

A new cutting force model for peripheral milling is presented based-on a developed algorithm for instantaneous undeformed chip surface with NURBS. To decrease the number of the differential element, the contact cutting edges of end-milling cutter with the part and the chip thickness curve are represented by NURBS helix, and the instantaneous undeformed chip is constructed as a ruled surface with the two curves. The cutting force generated by the edge contact length and the uncut chip area. Using the cutting coefficients from Budak[1] , the cutting-force model verified by simulation. The simulation results indicate that new cutting-force model predict the cutting forces in peripheral milling accurately.

Approximate Methods

Abstract In this paper, a mechanistic model is first constructed to predict three-dimensional cutting forces, and the uncut chip thickness is calculated by following the movements of the position of the center of a cutter, which varies with the nominal feed, cutter deflection and runout. For general implementation to a real machining, this paper presents the method that determines constant cutting force coefficients, irrespective of the cutting conditions or cutter rotation angles. In addition, this study presents the approach which estimates runout-related parameters, the runout offset and its location angle, using only one measurement of cutting forces. For more accurate cutting force predictions, the size effect has to be considered in the cutting force model. In this paper, two approximate methods are suggested since the strict approach is practically impossible due to a measurement problem. The size effect is individually considered for narrow and wide cuts.
