Corner radius end mill, whose cutting capability is mostly affected by the relief surface, is a kind of highly effective end mill [1]. So a novel mathematical model of relief surface curve about corner radius end mill, which is verified with a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine and simulated based on a system CAM, is derived and presented in the paper. According to the proposed tool coordinates system and the mechanical coordinate of the machine, the relative motion between the cup wheel and the tool is determined. In order to obtain an accurate relief curve when machining, the model of a cup wheel edge is also introduced. The coordinates of grinding point when grinding relief surface are calculated. With the input data of the corner radius end geometry, wheels geometry, wheel setting and machine setting, the NC code is generated automatically from the program. Then the code is used to simulate in 3 Dimension before actual machining. Finally, the NC code will be used for machining in the CNC grinding machine. The roundness of the round corner in the final product is very well, means this model is effective.

To facilitate the manufacturing of an end mill, this paper presents a manufacturing model of a flat-end mill using a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine. Using input data of end mill geometry, wheels geometry, wheel setting and machine setting, the NC code for machining will be generated directly from a solid modeling then used as input to simulate the end mill machining in 3 Dimension before machining. The 3D simulation system of the end mill grinding is generated by VBA and AutoCAD2008. Machining simulation consists of a sequence of Boolean operations on difference between the tool and the grinding wheels through NC code. Then the major design parameters of a cutter, such as relief angle and inner radius, can be verified by interrogating the section profile of its solid model. The manufacturing model presented in this paper provides a practical and efficient method for developing CAM software for the manufacture of an end mill.

A novel algorithm for the ball-end mill relief using a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine and the simulation of the ball-end mill based on a CAM system is presented in this paper. In this study, In order to obtain an accurate normal relief angle, which is one of the key factors affecting tool cutting performance, a tool coordinate system based on the required relief angle and the cutting edge was established. Then, by the proposed tool coordinate system, an algorithm to determine the position between the grinding wheel and the tool is proposed, and then the relevant formulations are deduced. The coordinates of grinding point when the step of relief surface is grinded are calculated.Using the input data of a ball-end mill geometry, wheels geometry, wheel setting and machine setting, the NC code for machining will be generated. Then the code will be used as input to simulate the ball-end mill machining in 3 Dimension before real machining. The algorithm of ball-end mill relief can be authenticated by the 3D simulation system.

The parameters of joint parts must be included in the finite element model of a whole grinding machine. The subject investigated in this paper is B2-K3000 high-precision composite flexible grinding machine. Through finite element modeling, the joint part parameters are integrated into the whole grinding machine model to establish a dynamic model and then analyze its static and dynamic characteristics. The result shows that the whole grinding machine possesses good features, but it still needs to be improved. This paper gives suggestions for its structure development and application.
