Computer Program in Visual Basic Language for Manufacture of Helical Cutting Tools

Article Preview

Abstract:

The helical cutting tools have complex geometries. A rack cutter is the most economical tool that has been used for manufacturing helical cutting tool. In this paper, the computer program has been designed to evaluate the manufacture abilities following design concept and analyze the technical parameters of helical cutting tool. The program can simulate the sections of helical cutting tool and the rack cutter, analyze the clearance angle, relief angle, and width top of the helical cutting tool, and modify the rack cutter profile to show the helical cutting tool profile suitably. This program can predict the differences during manufacture process and give the best solution for economical consideration.
