Abstract: A new method to analyze the elastic deformation of a workpiece during end milling is proposed. One of the advantages of this method is the possibility of easily combining it with a voxel-based milling simulation, which is ...

Abstract: Energy consumption of numerical control (NC) machine tools is one of the key issues in modern industrial field. This study focuses on reducing the energy consumed by a five-axis machining center by changing only the workpiece ...

Abstract: A new cutting force simulator has been developed to predict cutting force in ball end milling. In this simulator, uncut chip thickness is discretely calculated based on fully voxel models representing both cutting edge and ...
