There have been numerous studies on end milling processes. However, these have been restricted to the application of tools for special cutting purposes. A side milling cutter can handle long, deep, and open slots in a more efficient manner, and it provides the best stability and productivity for this type of milling. In this paper, a method to predict the cutting forces in side milling is described, and simulated cutting forces are compared with those obtained by cutting experiments. In particular, the side milling process easily generates relative motion between the tools and the workpiece because it produces intermittent cutting forces that cause vibrations over a wide frequency range. Therefore, the application of a dynamic cutting model instead of a static cutting model is appropriate to forecast the cutting forces more accurately.

According to global trend of the expanding need of high-quality automobiles, the usage of small precise worm consisting of gearing part for motors to actuate convenience modules has increased rapidly. Precision of those worms has very sensitive characteristic to motor performance and noise. Forming process has been generally used to manufacture worms because of its mass productivity. However, it has problems such as deformation due to residual stress and wear of dies. Planetary milling and side milling are among alternatives using cutting tools. To overcome those problems the two machining methods have some contrast features in the sense of tool numbers and cutting mechanism. In this paper, machinability of both methods was compared in terms of cutting force, precision and cycle time.

A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear motion. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current roll forming process is substituted with the milling cutter process. Since the milling cutter process enables the integration of all machining operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. The tooling system for side milling cutter on the CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the runout of spindle and cutting tips are important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms because the tooling system has multiple tips. In this study, surface roughness variations accuracy according to runout was investigated in side milling cutter for worm screw. The result shows by simulation and experiment.

Due to increase of demands on safety and convenience for automotive vehicle, the use of DC motor, such as power window, seat adjusting, pedal adjusting, sunroof, electric shift motor and so on, is increasing rapidly in the whole world. Worm gear is an important part to transmit torque to another gear in gear mechanism of automotive DC motor. But with current forming process, it has some problems in manufacturing and the quality. Also, the characteristics of automotive parts such as price and mass-production limit the quality improvement. Recently several methods are used in order to reduce a worm screw machining time and to maintain precision. In this paper, we introduce whirling tool machining and side milling cutter machining as effective manufacturing method of worm screw and study on the cutting force of side milling cutter and whirling tool in worm screw machining.

However, the cutting tool-workpiece interference is important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms. For adaptability of various worms machining, the tool-workpiece interference simulation system based on a tool-tip trajectory model is developed. The developed simulation system is verified through several kinds of worms and experimental results.

Cutting force and face roughness have the largest influence on precision of a structure or processing efficiency in cutting processing. Thus cutting force model and face roughness model are necessary for this interpretation. In this paper, tool path model and face roughness model which consider the blade number of a tool and a revolution speed of tool and workpiece in the worm processing using side milling cutter are presented. This model was used to forcast the cusp. Experimental results show that the predicted cusp coincides with experimental one.

Using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged, 2-dimensional(2D) vibration in a excitation workpiece table was generated. In this study, micro milling using high frequency 2D vibration was proposed, whose locus of cutting tool is combined with original trochoid locus of milling tool and 2D elliptical locus of excitation table. From the cutting results of 2D vibrational micro milling of nickel alloy, it was observed that the machining quality and the roughness of machined surface were enhanced compared to conventional milling in a side cutting whose immersion ration is relatively low, whereas there was little betterment in a slot cutting.

Investigated is the relationship between tool deflection and geometrical accuracy in side wall machining. Form error is predicted directly from the tool deflection without surface generation. Developed model can predict the surface form error about three hundred times faster than the previous method. Cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering tool geometry, tool setting error, and machine tool stiffness. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up milling and down milling are discussed. The usefulness of the presented method is verified from a set of experiments under various cutting conditions generally used in die and mold manufacture. This study contributes to real time surface shape estimation and cutting process planning for the improvement of geometrical accuracy.
