Correcting Distortion of Elliptical Trajectory for Maximizing Cutting Performance in Elliptical Vibration Cutting

Abstract:

To maximize cutting performance of elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) (also known as two-dimensional vibration assisted cutting), the elliptical trajectory of a cutting tool needs to be corrected. In this study, the effect of the shape of the elliptical trajectory on the machining characteristics of EVC is investigated. Various elliptical trajectories were created by modulating the relative phase and magnitude of the sinusoidal input voltages to the piezoelectric actuators and the effect of tilt angle of the elliptical trajectory on the machining quality such as the cutting resistance and machining quality is experimentally observed in successive micro-V grooving as the tilt angle is changed between 0^o, 30^o, -30^o, and 90^o. It is found that the tilt angle significantly affects both the cutting resistance and machining quality.
