Mathematical Modeling of Ball-End Cutter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ball-end cutter plays an important role in machining free-form surfaces due to its adaptability to a surface. It is widely used in aerospace, automobile, and die/mode industries. Thus, the demand for higher cutting performance and lower cost of the ball-end cutter has been increasingly focused. In this paper, based on normal helix cutting edge geometric model, the cone wheel, which was used to grind the rake and flank face of ball-end cutter, was designed. Then, we use homogenous coordinate transformation to derive for the ball-end cutter and establish the mathematical model for grinding this type cutter in terms of grinding parameters. Finally, the cutting angles of ball-end cutter were discussed.
