A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear motion. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current roll forming process is substituted with the milling cutter process. Since the milling cutter process enables the integration of all machining operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. The tooling system for side milling cutter on the CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the runout of spindle and cutting tips are important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms because the tooling system has multiple tips. In this study, surface roughness variations accuracy according to runout was investigated in side milling cutter for worm screw. The result shows by simulation and experiment.

Cutting force and face roughness have the largest influence on precision of a structure or processing efficiency in cutting processing. Thus cutting force model and face roughness model are necessary for this interpretation. In this paper, tool path model and face roughness model which consider the blade number of a tool and a revolution speed of tool and workpiece in the worm processing using side milling cutter are presented. This model was used to forcast the cusp. Experimental results show that the predicted cusp coincides with experimental one.
