Establishing a Novel Model for 5-Axis Milling with a Filleted End Mill*
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the mathematical modeling for 5-axis milling with a filleted end mill. Several coordinate systems are introduced to describe the relationship between a cutter orientation and a machined surface. Then, a cutting point on a cutting edge is geometrically formulated as an integrated form of some expressions. The fundamental simulations based on the modeling were implemented to investigate the characteristics of path-interval and feed-interval scallops on a machined surface; moreover, path interval determination is proposed for suitable estimation in filleted end milling. As a result, it was found that the proposed approach could provide the characteristics of microscopic topography in detail.

An instantaneous rigid force model for prediction of cutting forces in ball-end milling of sculptured surfaces is presented in this paper. A commercially available geometric engine is used to represent the cutting edge, cutter and updated part geometries. The cutter used in this work is an insert type ball-end mill. Intersecting an inclined plane with the cutter ball nose generates the cutting...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Staggered PCD End Mill for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic
This work presents a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) end mill with a new staggered structure for the milling of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). The magnitude and direction of cutting force is decreased and changed by side-edge re-configuration of the structure. The flute and insert pocket of the staggered PCD end mill are designed considering the tool’s stiffness and welding process. The ...
متن کاملIso-scallop tool path generation in 5-axis milling
This paper presents a new method of computing constant scallop height tool paths in 5-axis milling on sculptured surfaces. Usually, iso-scallop tool paths computation methods are based on approximations. The attempted scallop height is modelled in a given plane to ensure a fast computation of the tool path. We propose a different approach, based on the concept of the machining surface, which en...

This paper presents a 5-axis side milling scheme for freeform surfaces based on automatic piecewise ruled surface approximation. With this scheme, resulting surface nish is accurate and pleasing, and has a smaller scallop height compared to ball-end milling. The ruled surface approximation can be made arbitrarily precise resulting in an overall fast milling operation that satis es tight toleran...
