Surface Reversal Method for Cylindrical Tool Characterization

Abstract:

Cutting edges protrusion properties for cutting tools have significant effect of grinding surface finish and its characterization is crucial in understanding tool-work interaction. Existing definition of reference datum in surface topography analysis is not suitable for abrasive tool cutting edges protrusion characterization in relation to tool-work interaction. This paper proposed Surface Reversal Method for the reference datum determination in the characterization of cutting edge protrusion on flat end face of cylindrical cutting tool meant for vertical grinding. Fabricated cylindrical artefact is used to test the theory, accompanied with a specially made fixture. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated based on the repeatability of step height measurement on the topography component and inclination of the reference datum which extracted from primary surface measured by laser confocal scanning microscope. The proposed method provides better datum definition than conventional method for height measurement of the abrasive tool topography in relation to the tool-work interaction.
