A Numerical Simulation Study on Machining Performance for Front Face Circular Grooving Using Special Structure Milling Cutters — Part 2: Simulation Results and Discussions for Machining a Groove with Rectangular Sectional Profile

Abstract:

This paper proposes a simple and convenient numerical simulation approach to examining the characteristics and machining capacity of the manufacture process to machine a front face circular groove on a multi-tasking machine tool by a side milling cutter with special structure. In the second part of the paper, the practicability of the process to machine a groove with rectangular sectional profile is discussed based on the simulation results, and then an improved process is developed for correctly machining the groove profile in the required shape. Furthermore, the effect of cutter feed motion on the profile precision of machined groove is studied; at the same time, a main disadvantage of the process as a finishing cutting method is also identified.
