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...

This paper presents an efficient and robust algorithm for the geometric determination of swept volumes during the simulation of NC−milling (three-axis machining and five-axis machining). The boundary Ψ of the volume swept by a cutter Φ is represented polygonally by using instantaneous helical motions to exactly determine the line of contact between Φ and Ψ. Applying concepts of differential geo...

The paper deals with the prediction of the 3D surface topography obtained in 5-axis milling in function of the machining conditions. For this purpose, a simulation model for the prediction of machined surface patterns is developed based on the well-known N-buffer method. As in sculptured surface machining the feed rates locally vary, the proposed model can be coupled to a feed rate prediction m...

Hardened steels are commonly used in wide areas of technologies and industries. In respect of poor machinability of these steels and requirement of expensive cutting tools, study of machining economy is a matter of importance. Thus the present study deals with the economic considerations of various hole making processes. For this purpose, the hard steel samples were machined by conventional dri...

A new dynamical modeling of Active Magnetic Bearing Spindle (AMBS) to identify machining stability of High Speed Milling (HSM) is presented. This original modeling includes all the minimum required parameters for stability analysis of AMBS machining. The stability diagram generated with this new model is compared to classical stability lobes theory. Thus, behavior’s specificities are highlighte...

Productivity and part quality are extremely important for all machining operations, but particularly for 5-axis milling where the machine tool cost is relatively higher, and most parts have complex geometries and high quality requirements with tight tolerances. 5axis milling, presents additional challenges in modeling due to more complex tool and workpiece interface geometry, and process mechan...

one of the disadvantages of conventional milling tools is to produce a large amount of heat in cutting zone and so making the tool warmer. as a result, the tool would be worn and its life time would be reduced. therefore, in long time machining, it is essential to change inserts and tools, continiously. a milling tool with self rotary cutting inserts was designed and manufactured that enables i...

This paper presents a three-component fixed dynamometer based on a strain gauge, which reduces output errors produced by the cutting force imposed on different milling positions of the workpiece. A reformative structure of tri-layer cross beams is proposed, sensitive areas were selected, and corresponding measuring circuits were arranged to decrease the inaccuracy brought about by positional va...

Machined surface quality determines the reliability, wear resistance and service life of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) workpieces. In this work, the formation mechanism of the surface topography and the machining defects of CFRPs are proposed, and the influence of milling parameters and fiber cutting angles on the surface quality of CFRPs is obtained, which can provide a reference for ...
