Abstract

Micro end-milling has been becoming an important machining process to manufacture a number of small products such as micro-devices, bio-chips, micro-patterns and so on. Many related researches have given grand effects to micro end-milling phenomenon, for example, micro end-milling mechanism, cutting force modeling and machinability. This paper strongly concerned actual problem, micro tool deflection, which causes excessive machining errors on the workpiece. Machining error were predicted and measured through a series of test micro cutting and analysis of their SEM images and FEM analysis. Experiments are carried out to validate the approaches.
