Distinctive Difference

Evaluation of manufacturing process in milling by direct measurement of cutting force is considered to be effective comparing to indirect measurement of electricity. This paper proposed a new evaluation method of end-mills by the direct measurement of cutting force. Cutting forces were precisely obtained by a 3-component dynamometer during end milling. Each flute cutting forces was evaluated for two types of end-mills (non wear-out, wear-out) by wave patterns of cutting force. A distinctive difference in the two types of end-mills has been clearly seen. The effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method has been clarified.

Machining Operations

Analysis of the machined surface is one of the major issues in machining operations. On the other hand, investigating about the variations of cutting forces in machining operation has great importance. Since variations of cutting forces affect the surface quality of machined workpiece, therefore, analysis of the correlation between cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece is very important. In this paper, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate about the complex structure of cutting forces and relate them to the surface quality of machined workpiece. The experiments have been conducted in different conditions that were selected based on cutting depths, type of cutting tool (serrated versus. square end mills) and machining conditions (wet and dry machining). The result of analysis showed that among all comparisons, we could only see the correlation between complex structure of cutting force and the surface roughness of machined workpiece in case of using serrated end mill in wet machining condition. The employed methodology in this research can be widely applied to other types of machining operations to analyze the effect of variations of different parameters on variability of cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece and then investigate about their correlation.

It is known that geometry of cutting tool affects the cutting forces in machining operations. In addition, the value of cutting forces changes during machining operations and creates a chaotic time series (signal). In this paper, we analyze the variations of the complex structure of cutting force signal in rough end milling operation using fractal theory. In fact, we analyze the variations of cutting force signal due to variations of tool geometry (square end mill versus serrated end mill). In case of each type of end mill, we did the machining operation in wet and dry conditions. Based on the results, the fractal structure of cutting force signal changes based on the type of milling tool. We also did the complexity analysis using approximate entropy to check the variations of the complexity of cutting force signal, where the similar behavior of variations between different conditions was obtained. The method of analysis that was used in this research can be applied to other machining operations to study the influence of different machining parameters on variations of fractal structure of cutting force.

A spindle integrated cutting force system where piezoelectric force sensors are embedded in the spindle housing is studied. The transfer function between the force experienced at the end mill and measured at the spindle integrated force sensor varies depending on the tool length sticking out. In the paper, a method is proposed to predict the transfer function of the overall system by coupling the receptances of the analytically modeled end mill and experimentally measured spindle structures. The experimentally proven method allows for the automated calibration of the spindle integrated force system whenever a tool change occurs to accurately measure high-frequency bandwidth cutting forces.

In this work, the prediction and analysis of cutting forces in helical ball-end milling operations is presented. The cutting forces model for helical end-mills is based on the oblique cutting theory and the geometric relations of the ball-end milling process. The helical flutes are divided into small differential oblique cutting edge segments. According to the transformation relationship between the local and global coordinate system of the cutter, the differential cutting force of cutting element is obtained by two coordinate conversions from the orthogonal cutting force. The total cutting force of helical ball-end milling is the sum of the cutting force in whole cutting field of the miller. As a result, the predicted cutting forces show an agreement with the values from the cutting experiments.

Force Signal

Analysis of cutting forces in machining operation is an important issue. The cutting force changes randomly in milling operation where it makes a signal by plotting over time span. An important type of analysis belongs to the study of how cutting forces change along different axes. Since cutting force has fractal characteristics, in this paper for the first time we analyze the variations of complexity of cutting force signal along different axes using fractal theory. For this purpose, we consider two cutting depths and do milling operation in dry and wet machining conditions. The obtained cutting force time series was analyzed by computing the fractal dimension. The result showed that in both wet and dry machining conditions, the feed force (along [Formula: see text]-axis) has greater fractal dimension than radial force (along [Formula: see text]-axis). In addition, the radial force (along [Formula: see text]-axis) has greater fractal dimension than thrust force (along [Formula: see text]-axis). The method of analysis that was used in this research can be applied to other machining operations to study the variations of fractal structure of cutting force signal along different axes.

Abstract This paper presents an analytical convolution model of dynamic cutting forces in ball end milling of 3-D plane surfaces. The model takes into account the instantaneous slope on a sculptured surface to establish the chip geometry in cutting force calculation algorithm. A three-dimensional model of cutting forces in ball end milling is presented in terms of material properties, cutting parameters, machining configuration, and tool/work geometry. Based on the relationship of the local cutting force, chip load and engaged boundary, the total cutting force model is established via the angle domain convolution integration of the local forces in the feed, cross feed, axial direction, and inclination angle. The convolution integral leads to a periodic function of cutting forces in the angle domain and an explicit expression of the dynamic cutting force components in the frequency domain. Following the theoretical analysis, experimental study is discussed to illustrate the implementation procedure for force identification, and frequency domain data are presented to verify the analytical results.

The Stability

Elastomer end-milling is attracting attention for its role in the small-lot production of elastomeric parts. In order to apply end-milling to the production of elastomeric parts, it is important that the workpiece be held stably to avoid deformation. To evaluate the stability of workholding, it is necessary to predict cutting forces in elastomer end-milling. Cutting force prediction for metal workpiece end-milling has been investigated for many years, and many process models for end-milling have been proposed. However, the applicability of these models to elastomer end-milling has not been discussed. In this paper, the characteristics of the cutting force in elastomer end-milling are evaluated experimentally. A standard cutting force model and its parameter identification method are introduced. By using this cutting force model, measured cutting forces are compared against the calculated results. The comparison makes it clear that the standard cutting force model for metal end-milling can be applied to down milling for a rough evaluation.

A new method, which accurately predicts cutting force in ball end milling considering cutting edge around center web, has been proposed. The new method accurately calculates the uncut chip thickness, which is required to estimate the cutting force by the instantaneous rigid force model. In the instantaneous rigid force model, the uncut chip thickness is generally calculated on the cutting edge in each minute disk element piled up along the tool axis. However, the orientation of tool cutting edge of ball end mill is different from that of square end mill. Therefore, for the ball end mill, the uncut chip thickness cannot be calculated accurately in the minute disk element, especially around the center web. Then, this study proposes a method to calculate the uncut chip thickness along the vector connecting the center of the ball and the cutting edge. The proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the uncut chip thickness especially around the center web compared with the previous method. Our study also realizes to calculate the uncut chip thickness discretely by using voxel model and detecting the removal voxels in each minute tool rotation angle, in which the relative relationship between a cutting edge and a workpiece, which changes dynamically during tool rotation. A cutting experiment with the ball end mill was conducted in order to validate the proposed method. The results showed that the error between the measured and predicted cutting forces can be reduced by the proposed method compared with the previous method.
