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.

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.

A developed method to predict the cutting forces in end milling of generalized corners is proposed in this paper. The cornering milling process is divided into a series of cutting segments with different cutting states. The mathematical model of the geometric relationship between cutter and the corner profile is established for each segment. Cutting forces is predicted by introducing the classical cutting force model. The computational results of cutting forces are in good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract The prediction and optimization of cutting forces in the finishing machining of 3D plane surfaces using ball-end milling are presented in this paper. The cutting force model is developed based on the mechanistic modeling approach. This improved model is able to accurately predict the cutting forces for non-horizontal and cross-feed cutter movements typical in 3D finishing ball-end milling. Optimization of the cutting forces is used to determine both the tool path and the maximum feed rate in 3D plane surface finishing machining. The objective is to achieve highest machining efficiency and to ensure product quality. Experimental results have shown that the cutting force model gives excellent predictions of cutting forces in 3D finishing ball-end milling. The feasibility of the integrated process planning method has been demonstrated through the establishment of optimized process plans for the finishing machining of 3D plane surfaces.

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.

Abstract Milling forces play an important role in the milling process and are generally calculated by the mechanistic or numerical methods, reliable model of cutting force is very important for the simulation of milling process, which has big scientific significance to further improve machining quality. Ball helical milling technology is used to make holes based on the cutting principle of helical milling using ball end cutter, due to the influence of spherical surface machining characteristic, the modeling of cutting force in ball helical milling is difficult. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to first establish an analytical cutting force model in the ball helical milling process. Considering cutting characteristics in the axial feed, the kinematics of ball helical milling is first presented, then the chip thickness distribution in different directions along the cutting edges are predicted. Furthermore, based on the characteristics of helical milling technology and geometry shape of ball end mill and the classical mechanical cutting force model, through the study on the ball-end milling mechanics, a new relatively accurate theoretical cutting force model is established. At the same time, cutting force coefficients are identified through instantaneous force method according to the Ti-alloy experimental research result. Finally, higher simulation precision of cutting force model in ball helical milling process is received.
