Abstract

Drilling torque was measured indirectly using the spindle motor current and controlled in real time through feedrate manipulation in a machining center. The PID controller designed in the previous paper was applied to drilling torque control. A series of cutting experiments were performed for various cutting conditions. Experimental results showed that the drilling torque was well regulated at a given reference level by feedrate manipulation in all cutting conditions. The increase in the cutting torque and temperature according to the increase in machining depth was suppressed and the risk of the drill failure and the drill flank wear were reduced remarkably through cutting torque control. Moreover, the suggested cutting torque control system doesn\`t disturb the cutting process and is practical for industrial environment. Therefore, the proposed culling torque control system will contribute to productivity improvement in drilling process.
