Title
Simulation of Ball-nose End Milling Operations - Selection of Geometric Resolution Parameters
Abstract
Ball-nose end milling operations are extensively used for 3-axis machining of sculptured surfaces. The process variables, such as chip thickness distribution and cutting speed distribution, can be simulated by means of discrete representation of the workpiece surface and the cutting tool. In the current approach, the workpiece surface is represented with a Z-map. The cutting edge of the tool is represented by a set of nodes. The purpose of this work was to develop a methodology for selecting the geometric resolution parameters required by the workpiece and the cutting tool. The selection criteria include: a) a prescribed amount of error in the prediction of the chip thickness and cutting speed and b) minimization of computation time. The current methodology is demonstrated for a finish milling operation with a ball-nose end mill.
