Real time tool condition monitoring has great significance in modern manufacturing processes. In order to prevent possible damages to the workpiece or the machine tool, reliable monitoring techniques are required to provide fast response to the unexpected tool failure. Milling is one of the most fundamental machining operations. During the milling process, the current of feed motor is weakly re...

Most published research works on the development of tool life model in machining of hardened steels have been mainly concerned with the turning process, whilst the milling process has received little attention due to the complexity of the process. Thus, the aim of present study is to develope a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool....

The dynamic behaviour of a machine tool (MT) directly influences the machining performance. The adoption of lightweight structures may reduce the effects of undesired vibrations and increase the workpiece quality. This paper aims to present and compare a set of hybrid materials that may be excellent candidates to fabricate the MT moving parts. The selected materials have high dynamic characteri...

This paper studies optimization of tool path planning in 5-axis flank milling of ruled surfaces using advanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) methods with machining error as an objective. We enlarge the solution space in the optimization by relaxing the constraint imposed by previous studies that the cutter must make contact with the boundary curves. Advanced Particle Swarm Optimization (APS...

Surface roughness is a result of the cutting parameters such as: cutting speed, feed per tooth and the axial depth of cut, also the tool’s geometry, tool’s wear vibrations, etc. Moreover, the surface finish influences mechanical properties such as fatigue behaviour, wear, corrosion, lubrication and electrical conductivity and the combination of cutting parameters influence the power consumption...

This paper presents the suitable depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate that will be chosen during machining. If thus parameters are not considered, this can provoke abnormal tool behavior such as chatter. Chatter will limit the tool life which only can be use for just a few times. To predict the chatter occurs, the parameters will be use are spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. CNC ma...

Machining is the essential activity of a manufacturing organization and milling is one of them. The economy growth rate of a country depends upon the innovation and research in manufacturing sectors. In this paper an attempt has been made to identify the gap in optimization of process parameters in milling operations through extensive literature review. Literature review revealed that researche...

Poor surface finish on die and mould transfers the bad quality to processed parts. High roughness is an example of that normally reduced by manual polishing after conventional milling machining process. Therefore, in order avoid disadvantages disadvantage machining, a sequence two operations proposed. The main operation run followed Rotary Ultrasonic Machining Assisted Milling (RUMAM). However,...
