A Study on Free Surface Cutting Force System of Conical Tipped Circular Cutting Edge Ball End Mill

圓錐팁 Ball End Mill 의 3次元 曲面切削力系에 관한 硏究

This study is concerned with the analysis of cutting force system acting on ball-nose end mill in three-dimensional surface machining process. Conical tipped circular cutting edge element model and free surface machining process types are proposed to apply oblique cutting theory, and then derived equations are used for numerical approach of cutting force curves by matrix method. This approach has a good agreement with experimental results both in magnitude and shape within the range of 15 percent, which was conformed on 6061-T6 aluminum workpiece having twofold curvatured surface. From the cutting load variation to edge location, it is confirmed that circular cutting edge shapes has a better cutting ability than that of straight and both have a singularity near a tool point. It is also verified that what kind of machining condition is recommendable for three-dimensional machining process in connection with deflection of the cutter to workpiece and tool point wearing or system stability.
