To improve the surface waviness in the peripheral milling, the feedrate is controlled so that the cutting force measured in the normal direction to the workpiece is constant. A discrete time first order model between the feedrate and the tool deflection is derived for the control. It has been shown by the analysis that the tool deflection is directly related to the feedrate and largely affects the surface waviness during cutting. The experimental results shown that the surface waviness is drastically improved by the proposed methods.

Advanced sensor design and filtering technology have been studied to obtain information for condition monitoring and diagnostics inmachining processes. To develope and economic monitoring system in end milling processes, indirect and reliable type of cutting force estimators were required. In this paper, an estimation method of cutting forces during end milling processes was studied through the measurement of current signals obtained from spindle and feeddrive motors. Cutting force and torque models were derived from the cutting geometry in down milling processes. Relationships between motor currents and cutting forces were also developed in the form of AC and DC components from the developed force models. The validity of the cutting force estimator was confirmed by the experiments under various cutting conditions.
