This paper presents a study of the Taguchi design application to optimize surface quality in damper inserted end milling operation. Maintaining good surface quality usually involves additional manufacturing cost or loss of productivity. The Taguchi design is an efficient and effective experimental method in which a response variable can be optimized, given various factors, using fewer resources...

This paper presents the multiple response optimization of end milling parameter using grey based taguchi method. Experiments were designed and conducted based on L27 orthogonal array design The milling parameter were spindle speed, depth of cut, feed rate and pressurized coolant jet and the response was surface roughness. EN31, high carbon alloy steel which achieves a high degree of hardness an...

In this paper, an effective algorithm based on improved time-domain averaging is proposed to detect tool flute breakage during end milling using feed-motor current signatures. The algorithm proposed is demonstrated to be effective in detecting tool flute breakage in real time through a series of milling experiments, and is also demonstrated to be insensitive to the effects for transients, such ...

This paper contains data and supporting information of and complementary to the research article entitled "Effect of jar shape on high-energy planetary ball milling efficiency: simulations and experiments" (Broseghini et al.,) [1]. Calcium fluoride (CaF2) was ground using two jars of different shape (cylindrical and half-moon) installed on a planetary ball-mill, exploring different operating co...

A new nominal uncut chip thickness algorithm for micro-scale end-milling is proposed by considering the combination of an exact trochoidal trajectory of the tool tip and tool run-out, and then the actual uncut chip thickness may be obtained from a comparison between the current accumulative uncut chip thickness and the minimum chip thickness. Due to the intermittency of the chip formation, the ...

Typically, NC programmers generate tool paths for end milling using a computer-aided process planner but manually schedule “conservative” cutting conditions. In this paper, a new evolutionary computation technique, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is proposed and implemented to efficiently and robustly optimize multiple machining parameters simultaneously for the case of milling. An artificia...

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...

This paper introduces a method to determine the tool wear by measured cutting force in Ball-nose End Milling. The features will be extracted from the measured cutting force with different flank wear. As the adaptive window width in wavelet transform is an advantage for analyzing and monitoring the rapid transient of small amplitude of cutting force signals when cutting engagement changes along ...
