A cutting force model predicting the dynamic force induced by the axial vibration of it plate in face milling is introduced. When a plate face is milled, deformation in tool axial direction is considerable. Therefore, cutting forces are affected by not only inner-outer modulation in feed direction but also by axial deformation. A PTP (peak-to-peak) diagram made by the simulated dynamic force model is evaluated. The stability of the face milling process such as the chatter outset, and the stable cutting region can be simply estimated. Simulation results are compared with that of experiment.

In NC machining, the ability to automatically generate an optimal process plan is an essential step toward achieving automation, higher productivity, and better accuracy. For this ability, a system that is capable of simulating the actual machining process has to be designed. In this paper, a milling process simulation system for the general NC machining was presented. The system needs first to accurately compute the cutting configuration. ME Z-map(Moving Edge node Z-map) was developed to reduce the entry/exit angle calculation error in cutting force prediction. It was shorn to drastically improve the conventional Z-map model. Experimental results applied to the pocket machining show the accuracy of the milling process simulation system.

Micro end-milling process is applied to fabricate precision mechanical parts cost-effectively. It is a complex and time-consuming job to select optimal process conditions with high productivity and quality. To improve the productivity and quality of precision mechanical parts, micro end-mill wear and cutting force characteristics should be studied carefully. In this paper, high speed machining experiments are studied to construct the optimum process design as well as the mathematical modeling of tool wear and cutting force related to cutting parameters in micro ball end-milling processes. Cutting force and wear characteristics under various cutting conditions are investigated through the condition monitoring system and the design of experiment. In order to construct the cutting database, mathematical models for the flank wear and cutting force gradient are derived from the response surface method. Optimal milling conditions are extracted from the developed experimental models.

This paper deals with the study on the cutting characteristics in ball-end milling process. First of all, the effects of the geometric cutting conditions such as the cutting speed, feedrates and the path interval on the surface integrity were evaluat-ed by the analytical and the experimental approaches. Secondly, the cutting mechanism model was developed to predict the cutting force accurately. It is possible for the proposed model to predict the shape error, estimate system stability and build the reliable adaptive control system. A large amount of experimental set are performed to show the validities of the proposed theories and to investigate the effect of cutting geometry such as rubbing effects, burr effects and etc.

In end milling process the undeformed chip thickness and the cutting force components vary periodically with phase change of the tool. In this study, up end milling process is transformed to the equivalent oblique cutting. The varying undeformed chip thickness and the cutting force components in end milling process are replaced with the equivalent average ones. Then it can be possible to analyze the chip-tool friction and shear process in the shear plane of the end milling process by the equivalent oblique cutting model. According to this analysis, when cutting SM45C steel. 82% of the total energy is consumed in the shear process and the balance is consumed in the friction process.

This Paper presents an application example of the Adaptive Robust Servocontrol (ARSC) scheme, which is an explicit (or indirect) pole-assignment adaptive algorithm with the property of "robustness". The ARSC scheme is applied to an end-milling process for cutting force regulation. It is shown that the federate of an end-milling process can be maximized by the adaptive regulation of the peak cutting force through the ARSC scheme. The results of simulation study and real cutting experiment are presented. It has been verified that asymptotic regulation can be achieved with robustness against the slowly time-varying perturbations to the process model parameters, which are caused by nonlinear cutting dynamics. dynamics.

This paper has two purposes. One is to investigate the effect of the helix angle of endmilling cutter on the cutting haracteristics of inconel 718 in down endmilling. To this end a newly developed cutting force model in down end milling process is presented. Using this cutting force components of 4-tooth endmills with various helix angles have been predicted. Predicted values of cutting force components are well coincide with the measured ones. The other is to compare the down endmilling characteristics of lnconel 718 with those of the up milling previously presented. In up endmilling as the helix angle becomes larger the radial and tangential components of the specific cutting force ($K_1 and K_r$) decrease. While in down milling $K_1 and K_r$ become smaller as the helix angle decrease.

In this study, an indirect method to estimate the setup runout of a ball-end mill from cutting force signal is proposed. This runout makes cutting forces of each tooth of the milling cutter unequal. By transforming the cutting force model from time domain to frequency domain through time-convolution theorem, the magnitude and phase angle of runout can be explicitly expressed with material constants, cutting conditions, and force signal. The static setup runout can be obtained by extrapolating estimated effective runout, which is independent of feedrate but decreases linearly with increase in axial depth of cut. The setup runout estimated by slot cutting experiments, shows good agreement with the measured one.

In order to predict vibrations occurred during end-milling processes, the cutting dynamics was modelled by using neural network and combined with structural dynamics by considering dynamic cutting state. Specific cutting force constants of the cutting dynamics model were obtained by averaging cutting forces. Tool diameter, cutting speed, fled, axial and radial depth of cut were considered as machining factors in neural network model of cutting dynamics. Cutting farces by test and by neural network simulation were compared and the vibration displacement during end-milling was simulated.

This study is concerned with the analysis of cutting force system acting on ball-nose end mill in three-dimensional surface machining process. Conical tipped circular cutting edge element model and free surface machining process types are proposed to apply oblique cutting theory, and then derived equations are used for numerical approach of cutting force curves by matrix method. This approach has a good agreement with experimental results both in magnitude and shape within the range of 15 percent, which was conformed on 6061-T6 aluminum workpiece having twofold curvatured surface. From the cutting load variation to edge location, it is confirmed that circular cutting edge shapes has a better cutting ability than that of straight and both have a singularity near a tool point. It is also verified that what kind of machining condition is recommendable for three-dimensional machining process in connection with deflection of the cutter to workpiece and tool point wearing or system stability.
