Investigation of Relation between Straightness and Cutting Force in CNC Turning Process

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to examine the relation between the straightness and the cutting force ratio during the CNC turning process. The cutting force is monitored and obtained by installing the dynamometer on the turret of CNC turning machine. The relation between the cutting force ratio and the straightness is investigated under the various cutting conditions, which are the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, the tool nose radius and the rake angle. The experimentally obtained results showed that the straightness can be improved with an increase in cutting speed, tool nose radius and rake angle. The relation between the dynamic cutting force and straightness profile can be proved by checking the frequency of the cutting force in frequency domain with the use of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), which is the same as the straightness profile. Hence, the cutting force ratio can be used to predict the straightness during the cutting regardless of the cutting conditions. The cutting force ratio is proposed to predict the straightness during turning process by employing the exponential function for the sake of straightness. The multiple regression analysis has been utilized to calculate the regression coefficients of the in-process prediction of straightness model by using the least square method at 95% confident level. It has been proved by the cutting tests that the in-process straightness can be predicted during the cutting within ±10% measured straightness with the high accuracy of 91.85%.
