In this paper we present our research dealing with the problem of tool deflection during the milling. We try to compensate the errors by considering a new tool trajectory. In order to determine the compensated tool trajectory, the problem is divided in three steps : cutting forces model, tool deflection model and trajectory compensation. Starting from experimental data, we determine a cutting forces model., which allows us to anticipate the tool deflection along one nominal path. In order to determine the compensated tool trajectory, we propose in this paper a method of path compensation, called “mirror method”. This method of tool path optimization allows to minimize errors due to tool deflection. Several examples are processed in simulations and validated experimentally.

In this paper we deal with tool interference problem in the case of compound surface machining. A new tool interference detection and correction method based on the envelope of the tool path is suggested to identify and correct the tool interference - not only within the local path of tool movement, but also outside of the tool path. Therefore, the developed strategy can be used to check the possible interference in any region of the surface. In order to analyze quantitatively the milled surface error produced by the tool interference, improved surface prediction model is also suggested in cutting process by general cutters. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation study.
