Abstract: The problem of generating an optimal feed-rate trajectory has received a significant amount of attention in both the robotics and machining literature. The typical objective is to generate a ...

Abstract: The majority of efforts to improve the contouring performance of high-speed CNC systems has focused on advances in feedback control techniques at the single-axis servo level. Regardless of the ...

Abstract: Feeds and speeds for conventional endmilling operations have been empirically investigated and extensively tabulated 1. However, the selection of the geometric cutting parameters, the axial and ...

Abstract: In recent years, simulation tools have proven valuable for the prediction of machining state variables over a wide range of operating parameters. Such simulation packages, however, are seldom ...
