Energy Efficiency Analyses of Toolpaths in a Pocket Milling Process
This paper presents an approach to analytically determine the most energy efficient toolpath strategy in mechanical machining. This was achieved by evaluating the electrical energy requirement of the NC codes generated for the zag, zigzag, and rectangular contour toolpath strategies. The analytical method was validated by performing pocket milling on AISI 1018 steel with the considered toolpath...

متن کاملAn Instantaneous Rigid Force Model For 3-Axis Ball-End Milling Of Sculptured Surfaces
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 کاملAutomatic implementation of a new recovery coefficient for Reliable contour milling
In contour milling, to render the machining process more automated with significant productivity without remaining material after machining, a new recovery coefficient was developed. The coefficient was inserted in the computation of contour parallel tool paths to fix the radial depth of cut in the way to ensure an optimized overlap area between the passes in the corners, without residuals.
