Abstract

This paper describes force and stability prediction for inserted end and face mills using a reverse engineering approach. Structured light scanning is used to identify the spatial coordinates of the points that define the multiple insert cutting edges. These points are used to extract the cutting edge radius and angle and are then incorporated in a time domain simulation that predicts cutting force and tool/workpiece deflection for user-selected operating parameters. Good agreement between predicted and measured cutting forces is demonstrated. The process stability is then predicted using the validated force model and measured structural dynamics.
