Synchronous Optimization of Clamping Force and Cutting Parameters for Thin-Walled Parts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Machining accuracy of thin-walled parts is easily affected by clamping and cutting deformation due to its poor stiffness. In this paper, synchronous optimization method of clamping force and cutting parameters is presented based on GA and FEM. The optimization objective is to minimize the maximum deformation and to improve the machining efficiency. GA is used to optimize cutting parameters and clamping force, and FEM is used to predict the machining deformation of the thin-walled workpiece. Finally, taking a titanium alloy thin-walled part with irregular shape as an example, the optimal clamping force and cutting parameters at every cutting position are obtained to demonstrate the feasibility of the method.
