Fixture Clamping Force Analysis during Milling Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a analytical method to calculate the minimum clamping force to prevent slippage between the workpiece and spherical-tipped fixture elements during milling process. After the contact deformation between the workpiece and spherical-tipped fixture element is determined, the relationships between the workpiece displacement and the contact deformations are obtained. Based on the static equilibrium equations, these equations are combined and linear equations are obtained to calculate the tangential contact forces between the workpiece and spherical-tipped fixture element. According to the maximum tangential contact force, the minimum clamping force to prevent slippage between the workpiece and spherical-tipped fixture elements is calculated. At last, this method is illustrated with a simulation example.
