Optimal cutting parameter specification of newly designed milling tools based on the frequency monitoring

Abstract

The article deals with the specification of the most suitable machining parameters for three newly designed end mills in the term of stability of the deep groove machining, at which the depth of cut is minimally twice higher the diameter of the cutter. Online vibration analysis was selected as a tool for goal achievement. The partial objective of the first phase of experimental research was to set the boundary conditions of vibrodiagnostics at the specification of the behaviour of three commercially produced milling cutters when the results were compared with the surface roughness achieved at the machining with individual cutting parameters. Vibrodiagnostic conditions were subsequently applied in the second phase of the experiment to determine the most suitable machining parameters of newly designed milling cutters. The Pinnacle VMC 650 CNC machining centre with Fanuc control system was used to perform the experiments. The material of cutters was S-grade sintered carbide, and all the designed cutters were PVD coated with the same AlTiN (aluminium titanium nitride) coating. The machined material was 16MnCr5 (1.7131) steel. The surface roughness analysis after machining by newly designed cutters pointed out that they are better as for the surface quality in comparison with the commercially produced end mills. Finally, it was possible to state that the four-tooth cutter 01-FVT with helix angles (β1= 39° and β2 = 41°) and tooth pitch (τ1 = 83° and τ2 = 97°) seems to be the best tool for milling deepshaped grooves among all the tested milling cutters.

“…Their analysis pointed at the potential for tool optimisation through modifying the tool geometry [116]. In another study, vibrodiagnostics were used to evaluate the tap failure during internal threads machining.…”

Development of a Knowledge System for Data Management of the Pre-Production Stages

“…[1], [2], [3] In the 1980s, a massive introduction of CA systems (computer-aided systems) proved to be an effective step in reducing costs, shortening the TPP (technical preparation of production) and increasing the efficiency of TPP stages [4]. The engineering calculations, analyses, modeling and design documentation became streamlined and accelerated [5]. Presently, there is pressure to design projects and use elements and project management methodologies which would enable planning and management of all processes and stages related to launching new products on the market and significantly reduce the duration of TPP stages [6], [7].…”

Numerical and Experimental Investigation on Dynamic Behavior in Turning Process of Thin-walled Workpieces made of 42CrMo4 Steel Alloy

“…Thus, recourse to the use of mathematical modeling tools (analytical, numerical, etc.) for the prediction of cutting tool/matter behavior becomes essential [2][3][4]. These prediction tools are only relevant if they are rigorously constructed and fed with reliable experimental data reflecting the reality of this cutting process [5,6].…”
