Optimization of pocket cycle machining process in computer numerically controlled milling machining

Role of Process Parameters on Pocket Milling with Abrasive Water Jet Machining Technique

Abrasive Water Jet Machining is an unconventional machining process well known for machining hard to cut materials. The primary research focus on the process was for through cutting and a very limited literature is available on pocket milling using AWJM. The present work is an attempt to use this process for milling applications considering a set of various process parameters. Four different in...

Space-filling curves in adaptive curvilinear coordinates for computer numerically controlled five-axis machining

The paper presents a concatenation of two methods for optimization of five-axis machining proposed earlier by the author. The first method is based on the grid generation techniques whereas the second method exploits the space filling curve technologies. Combination of the two techniques is superior with regard to the conventional methods and with regard to the case when the two methods are app...

Optimization of Machining Parameters for Face Milling Operation using ANOVA

To remain successful in today’s competitive market, the manufacturers should rely on their Engineers and production professionals for quick and effective manufacturing setup and also to achieve Quality products. The machining process on a CNC Milling is programmed by speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, which are frequently determined based on the job shop experiences However, the machine perfo...

Process Optimization for Machining of Hardened Steels

Optimization and selection of cutters for 3D pocket machining

The machining of complex geometrical shapes with a CNC machine tool requires the determination of cutting conditions namely the depth of cut, the feed rate, the cutter diameter, the number of cutters in use, etc. The number and the diameter of the cutters used for the machining of a given pocket has an important effect on the machining time. Consequently, it is necessary to have an algorithm fo...
