An Analytical Approach to Cutter Edge Temperature Prediction in Milling and Its Application to Trochoidal Milling

Correlation between machining direction, cutter geometry and step-over distance in 3-axis milling: Application to milling by zones

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) occupies an increasingly important role in engineering with all it has to offer in terms of new possibilities and improving designer/manufacturer productivity. The present study addresses machining of free-form surfaces on a 3-axis NCmachine tool. There have recently been a large number of studies devoted to planning tool paths on free-form surfaceswith variou...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Study of the effective cutter radius for end milling of free-form surfaces using a torus milling cutter

An Analytical Design Method for Milling Cutters With Nonconstant Pitch to Increase Stability, Part 2: Application

Chatter stability in milling can be improved significantly using variable pitch cutters. The pitch angles can be optimized for certain chatter frequency and spindle speed ranges using the analytical method presented in the first part of this two-part paper. In this part, the improvement of productivity and surface finish are demonstrated in three example applications. It is shown that chatter s...

Computing Cutter Engagement Values in Milling Tessellated Free-Form Surfaces

High speed milling (HSM) has great potential use in die/mold cutting, but traditional machining plans do exploit HSM capabilities effectively. An important consideration for in HSM is to limit cutting force variations, and one way to do so is to reduce Cutter-Workpiece engagement (CWE) variations. CWE is measured as the area of the tool instantaneously engaged with the part. Estimating CWE as a...
