Turn milling tool wear resistance simulation

Abstract

The paper proposes a hardware-in-the-loop simulation strategy applied to single cutter lather turn milling. The strategy significantly reduces experimental research costs.The turn milling process involves a synchronized tool (helical mill), and workpiece rotation with a radial oncoming feed through a mill and workpiece relative movement. The cutting rate occurs by the mill teeth movement over the workpiece. The machining depth in each pass varies from zero to the max value, a common milling process feature. The proposed approach simulates the process parameters through thread turning or incomplete circular groove turning of workpieces attached off-center to a lathe tooling.
