Milling Force Model

Background: Calibration of cutting coefficients is the key content in modeling a mechanistic cutting force model. Generally, in modeling cutting force for ball end milling, the tangent, radial and binormal cutting force coefficients are each considered as a polynomial, respectively. This fact is due to the dependency between the cutting force coefficients and the cutting edge inclination angle which is variable in ball-end mills. Objective: This paper presents an approach to determine the polynomial cutting force coefficients. Methods: In this approach, the cutting force coefficients are expressed as explicit linear equations about the average slotting forces. After analysis of the least square regression method which is utilized in the cutting coefficients evaluation, the principle of cutting parameters choice in calibration experiment and the relationship between the order of polynomial and the number of experiments are presented. Besides, a lot of patents on identification of polynomial cutting coefficients for milling force model were studied. Results: Finally, a series of semi-slotting verification cutting tests were arranged, the measured force agrees well with the predicted force, which demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. Conclusion: Based on the calibration method proposed in this paper, the cutting coefficients can be determined through (m+2) slotting experiments for m-degree shearing coefficients polynomial theoretically.

Instantaneous Cutting Force Coefficients

Application of a ball-end milling process model to a CAD/CAM or CAPP system requires a generalized methodology to determine the cutting force coefficients for different cutting conditions. In this paper, we propose a mechanistic cutting force model for 3D ball-end milling using instantaneous cutting force coefficients that are independent of the cutting conditions. The uncut chip thickness model for three-dimensional machining considers cutter deflection and runout. An in-depth analysis of the characteristics of these cutting force coefficients, which can be determined from only a few test cuts, is provided. For more accurate cutting force predictions, the size effect is also modeled using the cutter edge length of the ball-end mill and is incorporated into the cutting force model. This method of estimating the 3D ball-end milling force coefficients has been tested experimentally for various cutting conditions.

Cutting force coefficients and cutter runout parameters are the key factors for accurate prediction of instantaneous milling forces. A new two-step identification method is presented to calibrate them in end milling. Based on analyzing effects of cutter runout on milling forces, a method of extracting nominal milling forces from measured milling forces is proposed. By calibrating average cutting force coefficients and corresponding average chip thickness, an approach to evaluate the instantaneous cutting force coefficients is proposed. Then, an iterative method is presented to identify cutter runout, and the procedure is also given in detail. Milling tests are performed to test the proposed method, and validity of the identification approach is proved by a good agreement between predicted results and experimental results.

Cutting Mechanisms

Complex three-dimensional miniature components are needed in a wide range of industrial applications from aerospace to biomedicine. Such products can be effectively produced by micro-end-milling processes that are capable of accurately producing high aspect ratio features and parts. This paper presents a mechanistic cutting force model for the precise prediction of the cutting forces in micro-end-milling under various cutting conditions. In order to account for the actual physical phenomena at the edge of the tool, the components of the cutting force vector are determined based on the newly introduced concept of the partial effective rake angle. The proposed model also uses instantaneous cutting force coefficients that are independent of the end-milling cutting conditions. These cutting force coefficients, determined from measured cutting forces, reflect the influence of the majority of cutting mechanisms involved in micro-end-milling including the minimum chip-thickness effect. The comparison of the predicted and measured cutting forces has shown that the proposed method provides very accurate results.
