In the paper a cutting stability in the milling process of nickel based alloy Inconel 625 is analysed. This problem is often considered theoretically, but the theoretical finding do not always agree with experimental results. For this reason, the paper presents different methods for instability identification during real machining process. A stability lobe diagram is created based on data obtained in impact test of an end mill. Next, the cutting tests were conducted in which the axial cutting depth of cut was gradually increased in order to find a stability limit. Finally, based on the cutting force measurements the stability estimation problem is investigated using the recurrence plot technique and Hilbert vibration decomposition method.

Cutting chatter is extremely harmful to the machining process, and it is of great significance to eliminate chatter through analyzing the stability of the machining process. In this work, the stability of the milling process with multiple delays is investigated. Considering the regeneration effect, the dynamics of the milling process with variable pitch cutter is modeled as periodic coefficients delayed differential equations (DDEs) with multiple delays. An adaptive variable-step numerical integration method (AVSNIM) considering the effect of the helix angle is developed firstly, which can discretize the cutting period accurately, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the stability limit of the milling process. The accuracy and efficiency of the AVSNIM are verified through a benchmark milling model. Subsequently, a novel spindle speed-dependent discretization algorithm is proposed, which is combined with the AVSNIM to further reduce the calculation time of the stability lobes diagram (SLD). The simulation experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the calculation time.

Study of predicting chatter has been around for many years. These studies are crucial for our understanding of machining processes and to enhance efficiency in manufacturing. This paper presents a new mechanism affecting the stability of machining process called mass induced damping. This effect is simulated numerically with tested values of initial parameters taken for impact tests of a thin-walled workpiece. Results from the simulation shows minor increment in allowable depth of cut by numerically calculated using stability lobe theory. This effect will open a new understanding how certain mechanical factors would affect the value of damping of a system.

Despite recent advances and improvements in modeling and prediction of the dynamics of the machining process, an efficient machining process is limited due to chatter and instability of machining system. In fact, the machining system contains various kinds of joints, which cause difficulties in dynamics modeling, simulation and prediction. Moreover, the flexible support system results in large deformation and violent vibration of the workpiece when machining, and the thin-walled workpiece easily gives rise to the chatter of the machining system. Therefore, the dynamics of the flexible support system was considered to calculate stability lobe diagram in the modeling of milling process. The whole machining system was regarded as a closed loop composed by the machine tool structures, support, workpiece and machining process. In this paper, the receptance coupling (RC) method was introduced to predict the dynamics of the closed machining system. A milling process was taken for example to predict the chatter limitations using the dynamics of closed model. The mathematical model of the machining system (machine tool structures, spindle, holder and tool), together with the details of joint contacts, was given based on the RC method. The RC model was used to obtain the dynamics of the system, while receptance of the tool point was coupled. Based on the coupling model of the machining system, the depth limitations under different speeds were estimated for the technology parameter optimization in milling process. The response was considered to be the sum of the cutting point and the support system. The flexibility of the support system was considered to be the feedback of the cutting stiffness. By this means, the traditional model was modified to calculate the stability lobe diagram based on the dynamics of the spindle and support system. Furthermore, the milling experiment was carried out to verify the prediction results, and the dominant natural frequencies of receptance at tool point were obtained by modal testing to define the stability lobe diagram. It was found that the chatter results matched well with the stability lobes. It was concluded that the support system with poor stiffness might cause violent chatter especially when the workpiece was thin-walled. The cutting depth limitations of the flexible support system were lower than that of the rigid one. Moreover, this closed model of the machining system is appropriate for the chatter prediction of the flexible support system or thin-walled workpiece, so it is helpful for a better parameter optimization.

Regenerative machining chatter or resonance in the machining process has traditionally been modeled with the stability lobe approach. This paper presents a new time based direct simulation model and compares it with traditional stability lobe modeling. The direct model has the ability to discriminate directional and time information, resulting in a number of advantages over frequency-based stability lobe analysis.

This study presents a method of controlling robots based on fuzzy logic to eliminate the effect of uncertainties that are generated by the cutting forces in milling process. The common method to control industrial robots is based on the robot dynamic model and the differential equations of motion to compute the control values. The quantities in the differential equations of the motion of robots are complex and difficult to determine fully and accurately. The interaction forces between the cutting tool and the workpiece are the cutting forces, which are generated during the machining process. It is difficult to calculate the cutting force because it depends on many factors such as material of the machining part, depth of cut, feed rate, etc. This article presents the fuzzy rule system and the selection of the physical value domain of input and output variables of the fuzzy controller. The fuzzy rules are applied in this article to allow us to compute the driving forces based on the errors of input and output signals of the joint positions and velocities, thereby avoiding the calculation of cutting forces. This article shows the simulation results of the fuzzy controller and comparison with the results of the conventional controller when the dynamic model is assumed to be correctly determined. The achieved results are reliable and facilitate the research and application of a fuzzy controller to mechanical processing robots in general and milling machining in particular.

This paper primarily deals with suppression of chatter in end-milling process. Improving the damping is one way to achieve higher stability for machining process. For this purpose a damper is proposed that is composed of a core and a multi fingered hollow cylinder which are shrink fitted in each other and their combination is shrink fitted inside an axial hole along the tool axis. This structure causes a resisting friction stress during bending vibration. Using FEA-ANSYS the structure is simulated. Then a parameter study is carried out where the frequency response and the depth of cut are calculated and tabulated to obtain the most effective configuration. The optimal configuration of tool is fabricated and finite element results are validated using modal test. The results show a high improvement in performance of the tool with proposed damper. Good agreement between experiments and modeling is obtained.

In this paper CNC end milling process have been optimized in cutting force and surface roughness based on the three process parameters (i.e.) speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Since the end milling process is used for abrading the wear caused is very high, in order to reduce the wear caused by high cutting force and to decrease the surface roughness, the optimization is much needed for this process. Especially for materials like aluminium 7010, this kind of study is important for further improvement in machining process and also it will improve the stability of the machine.

For modeling and optimizing the process parameters of manufacturing problems in the present days, numerical and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) methods are widely using. In manufacturing environments, main focus is given to the finding of Optimum machining parameters. Therefore the present research is aimed at finding the optimal process parameters for End milling process. The End milling process is a widely used machining process because it is used for the rough and finish machining of many features such as slots, pockets, peripheries and faces of components. The present work involves the estimation of optimal values of the process variables like, speed, feed and depth of cut, whereas the metal removal rate (MRR) and tool wear resistance were taken as the output .Experimental design is planned using DOE. Optimum machining parameters for End milling process were found out using ANN and compared to the experimental results.

A dynamics model is established considering gyroscopic effects due to high speed rotating spindle-tool system in ultra-high speed milling (USM). The proposed method for predicting stability enables a new 3D stability lobe diagram to be developed in the presence of gyroscopic effects, to cover all the intermediate stages of spindle speed. The influences of the gyroscopic effects on dynamics and stability in USM are analyzed. It is shown that the gyroscopic effects lower the resonance response frequencies of the spindle-tool system and the stable critical depth of cut in ultra-high speed milling.

<span><p align="LEFT"><span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;" face="Times New Roman">Titanium and its alloys have been experiencing extensive development over the past few decades. They have found wide applications in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries owing to their good strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. Machining performance is often limited by chatter vibrations at the tool-workpiece interface. Chatter is an abnormal tool behaviour which is one of the most critical problems in the machining process and must be avoided to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the finished product. This research aims at investigating chatter trends in the end milling process and to identify machine parameters that have effects on chatter during machining. The machine parameters investigated include axial feed rate, spindle revolute speed and depth of cut. In this research, experimental data was collected using sensors to analyze the existence of chatter vibrations on each processing condition. This research showed that the combination of the machine parameters, feed rate and spindle speed within certain proportions has an influence on machine vibrations during end milling and if not managed properly, may lead to chatter. </span></span></p> <p align="LEFT"></p>
