This paper presents the effects of the tool shape on the geometrical characteristics of flat end-milled side walls. A tool shape is characterized by such parameters as helix angle, number of cutting edges, and diameter. The geometrical characteristics of the side walls are represented by the surface profiles in the feed and axial directions, which are orthogonal to each other. The geometrical defects in each direction are estimated based on the instantaneous apparent cutting areas, which are represented by the interference area between the tool and workpiece and that between the cutting edge and workpiece. It is confirmed that a geometrical defect in the feed direction is formed when the tool leaves the workpiece and the curvature of the tool path changes. Defects in the axial direction are also found in the side walls, except for the defect zone in the feed direction. An up-cut using an end-mill with a steeper helix angle, a greater number of cutting edges, and a smaller diameter are thus found to improve the geometrical accuracy of end-milled side walls.

본 논문에서는 고속가공 시 필랫(코너-R) 엔드밀의 곡면가공 적용가능 여부를 연구하기 위하여 비교적 곡률이 완만한 곡면을 채택하여 가공실험을 수행하고 고 결과를 분석하였다. 가공재료는 금형의 재료로 많이 사용되는 SKD11 강을 선택하였다. 볼엔드밀과 필렛엔드밀의 비교를 위하여 2 종류의 공구에 동일한 가공조건으로 가공실험 하였다. 가공 중 측정된 절삭력과 가공면의 표면조도를 분석하여 일반적으로 황삭에서 주로 사용되던 필렛엔드밀을 곡률이 완만한 곡면의 정삭에 적용하였을 경우의 절삭특성과 볼엔드밀의 가공특성을 비교하였다.(중략)

엔드밀 가공 공정은 항공산업과 자동차 부품 및 금형 가공 산업에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 정형가공 (near net shape) 기술의 발달에 따라 금형 가공시 허용공차 이내로 표면 오차를 유지하면서 가공시간을 감소시킬 필요성이 증대되었고 이에 따라, 절삭과정을 정확히 나타냄으로써 최종표면 형상을 정확히 예측할 수 있는 절삭모델을 통해 표면형성 예측 시뮬레이터의 개발 필요성이 있어왔다. 본 논문에서는 주어진 절삭조건에서 공구의 처짐과 런아웃을 고려한 절삭력 모델에 대하여 절삭력과 표면형성 데이터를 코딩된 포트란 프로그램에서 얻고 이것을 MFC와 연동시켜 예측 결과를 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 초보단계의 시뮬레이터 개발에 대하여 연구하였다.(중략)

This paper deals with the prediction of cutting force and tool deflection and it's application in the flexible ball end milling process. Machining accuracy is determined by the static stiffness of tool system and the instantaneous cutting force. The static stiffness of tool system consists of the stiffness of holer and the stiffness of ball end mill. The stiffness of holder was obtained from the experimental result, and the stiffness of ball end mill with two flutes was theoretically analyzed by the finite elements method. In cutting process, the instantaneous cutting force is dependent upon the instantaneous feed and pick feed(radial depth of cut) which are varied by tool deflection. For the calculation of cutting force and deflection of ball end mill, iteration method is used with the linear interpolation to the data of cutting force obtained from rigid ball end mill and the data of tool deflection. In this paper, a for enhancing accuracy is discussed. And the selection of helix angle for minimizing machining error is also discussed.

The aviation industry has grown beyond the simple processing and assembling of aircraft parts and now designs and exports finished aircraft. In this study, the vertical CNC milling rotational speed and feed rate were parameters to investigate the life of tools according to their shape: (flat, round, and ball end mill) in the rough cutting of titanium. These tools are widely used in aircraft manufacturing and assembly. The purpose of this study is to measure the cutting temperature generated during the cutting process and calculate the rate of tool wear. This will be accomplished by measuring the tool weight before and after cutting the specimen and to compare it with the results of previous studies. Our study showed that the maximum cutting temperature increased as cutting time, tool rotational speed, and feed rate increased. The highest cutting temperatures were recorded for the ball, round, and flat end mill, respectively. Tool wear for the ball, round, and flat end mill increased as the speed and feed rate increased. The flat end mill exhibited the highest rate of wear from a minimum of 0.62% to a maximum of 2.88%.

The most important thing in measuring the tool wear is to set up the measurement base. The end mill that is being used for machining of die is difficult to set up the base and to measure the tool wear because of geometric properties of that such as a helix and relief angle. In this study, a new instrument using spindle orientation function in end milling is developed to measure the tool wear and evaluated by the measuring system on the machine. Finally, this new method makes possible the wear measurement of same position and reduces the measuring time compared with the measuring methods such as the microscope and CCD.

The tool geometry parameters and cutting process have complex relationships. Until now, various cutting test were needed to acquire optimal design of end mill for the purpose of high speed machining, due to the insufficient knowledge about cutting process. In high speed machining. Using various tools with different geometry, relationships between tool geometry parameter (rake angle, clearance angle, length of cutter) and cutting process (cutting force, surface accuracy, surface roughness) have been studied. Acquired data can be used to design optimal tool for high speed machining and developed tool geometry design S/W.
