Abstract:
In order to investigate the cutting performance of the plane face ball end milling cutter, the numerical simulation study is done by means of the predictive cutting model and software module for the forces, torque and power under different conditions. The simulating study could not only improve the predicting model, but also understand the fluctuation trends and magnitudes of force components and torque under main process variables. Meanwhile, the characters and trends of the force components and torque on the fluctuation pattern and magnitude of the maximum, minimum and average are investigated in detail. This work can assist in improving the design of ball end milling cutters, the design of machine tool components, the optimization of cutting operations, the monitoring and controlling of cutting process parameters.
