The Influence of Finishing Strategy on the Quality of Surface

Abstract:

The present contribution focuses on finishing operations in machining. Finishing operations belong to the most time-consuming and surface quality-critical machining tasks. High-quality tools are available nowadays for choosing optimal tool paths for finishing. Yet, the finishing options for general shaped surfaces are still severely limited. Although CAM systems can efficiently generate tool paths, none of them offers the combination of finishing tool paths, modern productive methods and adaptive tool paths. Increasing the productivity while maintaining dimensional accuracy and the quality of finished surfaces is the key point in finishing. One of the ways to improving productivity is the use of constant cutting speed. The aim of this article is to present experimental verification of these assumptions and demonstrate the impact on the quality of the finished surface
