Micromilling process is used for fabrication and manufacturing of miniaturized components. Very high spindle rotational speeds are required in micromilling to reduce the chip load and to counter the low flexural rigidity of the micro-tool while machining hard materials. Apart from the high rotational speed (>100,000 rpm) which can excite dynamic instability, the dynamic force variation in micro...

This paper presents the suitable depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate that will be chosen during machining. If thus parameters are not considered, this can provoke abnormal tool behavior such as chatter. Chatter will limit the tool life which only can be use for just a few times. To predict the chatter occurs, the parameters will be use are spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. CNC ma...

This paper presents a method for optimizing the machining parameters in rough turning processes to control the vibrations and deformations and minimize the production time per component under practical constraints. The optimization model is formulated, in which piecewise constraints are introduced based on the varying length-to-diameter (L/D ) ratio of the workpiece. The optimization problem is...

There is a requirement to find accurate parameters to accomplish precise dimensional accuracy, excellent surface integrity and maximum MRR. This work studies the influence of various cutting parameters on output parameters like Cutting force, Surface roughness, Flatness, and Material removal rate while face milling. A detailed finite element model was developed to simulate the face milling proc...

The concept of an effective orthogonal cutting edge in turning is considered. The orientation of this edge in the radial-longitudinal plane, as commonly modeled through an effective lead angle, is studied. The methods of effective lead angle prediction used in numerous previously developed force models are plagued with large errors over ranges of process inputs, in particular feed rate and dept...

BACKGROUND Drilling is used in the medical field, especially in oral surgery and orthopaedics. In recent years, oral surgery involving dental implants has become more common. However, the risky drilling process causes serious accidents. To prevent these accidents, supporting systems such as robotic drilling systems are required. METHODS A telerobotic-assisted drilling system is proposed. An a...

Boring is a frequently employed finishing operation in machine shops. Boring is a process in which pre-drilled holes or holes in cast, forged or extruded components are enlarged or finished with a cutting tool mounted on a boring bar. The process is mostly used in applications where close dimensional tolerances and good surface finish are required. In this research work based on the theoretical...

Machining is a complex process that requires a high degree of precision with tight geometrical tolerance and surface finish. Those are confronted by the existence of vibration in the turning machine tool. Overcoming a micro level vibration of a cutting tool using smart materials can save old machines and enhance flexibility in designing new generations of machine tools. Using smart materials to...

The current experimental study is to investigate the effects of process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on performance characteristics (surface roughness, machining force and flank wear) in hard turning of AISI 4340 steel with multilayer CVD (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3) coated carbide insert. Combined effects of cutting parameter (v, f, d) on performance outputs (Ra, Fm and VB) ar...

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...
