Study on Helical Groove and Circumferential Cutting Edge Machining Simulation of End Mill

Article Preview

Abstract:

A purely analytical method, based on the meshing theory, is presented to establish the exact helical groove and circumferential cutting edge model of end mills, for the solution of its low design precision and efficiency problems. Firstly, a coordinate system to represent the relative space position relations between grinding wheels and end mills is built and the mathematical model of the helical groove is precisely calculated with a given wheel profile and relative movements between the wheel and the workpiece. Then, the rake angle, inner radius and wheel positions of machining the clearance faces is computed. Finally, a 3D model of the end mill is generated by using OpenGL.
