An Advanced Support Method of Aircraft Skin Mirror Milling - Fluid Lubricating Support

Abstract:

A new support method used in aircraft skin mirror milling, liquid lubricating support, is proposed in order to solve the problems of scratching aircraft skin surface caused by rolling support or sliding support. The thickness and stiffness of liquid film between skin and support head are obtained with different feed pressure. The effects of thickness and stiffness of liquid film on surface quality and dimensional uniformity of workpiece are analyzed. The surface roughness is better under the condition of liquid film. With better film stiffness, dimensional uniformity is better, and actual axial cutting depth is closer to nominal axial cutting depth.
