Shape Investigation of Worn Cutting Inserts with Utilization of Active Triangulation

Abstract

The paper deals with utilization of active triangulation method for shape investigation of cutting inserts after wear. For measuring of cutting insert shape a method using the structured light (fringe projection) was used. As a measuring device the optical 3D scanner GOM ATOS II TripleScan SO was used. Cutting inserts with different shapes was measured. With the measurement method mentioned in the paper the accurate shape of the cutting insert can be captured. From the 3D model moreover it is possible to measure the geometrical properties as well as tool wear, plastical deformation, build-up-edge, corner damage and chipping of cutting insert.

Finite Element Analysis of Tool Stresses, Temperature and Prediction of Cutting Forces in Turning Process

“…SECO DNMG150604L-UX cutting tool was used in cutting experiment. Cutting tool simulation model geometry is the exactly same shape as experimental cutting insert and model is prepared in CAD system utilizing 3D scan and reverse engineering [12,13]. Although the tool is set up as a rigid, it can be done by a thermal analysis of tool, the model of tool is meshed using 3D tetrahedron elements.…”
