A Study on the General CAD Model for Rotary Milling Cutters

Abstract:

This paper presents a general mathematical model for NC-machining an APT-LIKE rotating cutter. The design model of cutting-edge and helical groove are also developed by using the principles of differential geometry and kinematics. The analytical solution for the resolution profile of helical groove has also been developed. The results of numerical experiment indicate that the proposed systematic design method by using 2-axis NC machine setup are feasible and reliable.
