Design and Application of High-Speed Variable Pitch End Mill Based on Milling Stability

Article Preview

Abstract:

The strong demand for increasing productivity and workpiece quality in milling process makes the machine-tool system operate close to the limit of its dynamic stability. Milling cutters with variable pitch angles can be very effective in improving stability against chatter for certain speed ranges, which will be predicted by the model presented here. The present paper deals with the design of structural geometry of variable pitch end mills in detail. Based on the analysis of tooth engagement factor, which is expressed and extended in the paper, an approach is proposed to design variable pitch end mill with high milling stability. The certain speed ranges with high milling stability are given.
