End milling cutter effectiveness increase by application of modificating nano-dimensional multilevel composition coatings

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

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...

Cutter Path Generation For 2.5D Milling By Combining Multiple Different Cutter Path Patterns

Different cutter path patterns have been shown to be efficient for different types of pocket geometries. However, for certain types of complex pockets, no single type of pattern produces efficient cutter paths throughout the pocket. In this paper, different cutter path patterns are systematically analysed and several existing heuristics for selecting cutter path patterns are discussed. Based on...

Effectiveness of alumina nanofluid on slotting end milling performance of SKD 11 tool steel

SKD 11 tool steel is among the most popular metals in mold industries for making different kinds of cold work molds and dies with high accuracy and long service life. The demand for higher quality, lower manufacturing costs, particularly the environmentally friendly characteristics, have provided the stimuli for manufacturers and researchers to find alternative solutions. An excellent media is ...

Automatic inspection system for dimensional measurements of the saw blade milling cutter

The demand for measuring equipments of automatic optical inspection has grown rapidly, because of its benefits of promoted efficiency and higher precision. Instead of manual projection measurements, measurement performance and efficiency can be obviously enhanced by the image measurement system. In this investigation, digital image processing and geometrical measurement principles have been int...
