Investigation of Power Consumption in Face Milling Operations

Abstract:

In oblique cutting, the assumption of point contact between the tool and theworkpiece often results in the consideration of only the forces in the three principaldirections. This paper disregards these assumptions and confirms the existence ofmoments around the three principal directions through measurements of themechanical factors during a face milling operation. The cutting forces and moments atthe three directions achieved by using Kistler 9275B dynamometer in this paper, andthe development of a calculation algorithm that allows the transport of the cuttingmoments from the center of the dynamometer at the tip of the tooth is developed.Based on the mechanical actions’ theory, the power consumed during the cuttingprocess is determined. A comparative study on the power consumed during thecutting process is undertaken.
