End Milling Process

The article presents the experimental results of the influences of machining conditions and tool orientation on cutting forces during the end milling of free-form surfaces. A series of experiments are carried out on the machining of steel 3 blanks on a five-axis milling machine model HSC 75 linear using 2-flute and 4-flute ball end mills from MITSUBISHI with diameters from 5 mm to 10 mm. The dependency diagrams and graphs of cutting forces and their projections on cutting time are given at different spindle speeds, feeds per tooth, depths of cut, tilt angles and lead angle when using different ball end mills. Based on the results of the analysis of experimental data, the theoretical conclusion about the increase in cutting forces with increasing feed per tooth, cutting depth and spindle speed in relation to the ball end milling process is confirmed. The critical tool positions with respect to the surface, at which cutting forces have maximum values, are revealed. The obtained results allow developing recommendations for the choice of the tool position during end milling of free-form surfaces to reduce loads on the tool

Final Surface Finish

In fabricating free-form surfaces, ball end mills are mainly used to reach the final surface finish requirements. In the milling processes, cutter engagement value measures what portion of the cutter is involved in machining at a given instant of time. This paper presents geometric algorithms for estimating cutter engagement values for ball end milling processes of tessellated free-form surfaces. The cutter engagement value calculated here can be used later on in generating efficient cutter paths, as well as performing adaptive feed rate controls.

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.

Degree Of Overlap

This paper proposes an analytical approach to detect depth-of-cut variations based on the cutting-force shape characteristics in end milling. Cutting forces of a single-flute end mill are analyzed and classified into three types according to their shape characteristics. Cutting forces of a multiple-flute end mill are then classified by considering both the cutting types of the corresponding single-flute end mill and the degree of overlap of successive flutes in the cut. Force indices are extracted from the cutting forces and depth-of-cut variations are detected based on the changes of the force shape characteristics via the force indices in an end-milling process. The detection methodology is validated through cutting experiments.

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.

In this paper, a method using electrical contact resistance to monitor in-process tool wear is proposed. The high-speed tool wear detection system uses the contact resistance between the tool and workpiece as an indicator to monitor the progression of tool wear during cutting operations. The electrical resistance decreases with an increase in contact area on the tool flank. In our previous study, the objective was an end milling process using uncoated square end mills. In this experiment, our targets are solid and throw away coated square end mills. The experiment shows the present method to also be effective as an in-process tool wear detection system for coated square end mills.
