A study on the design of error-free spur slice cutter

Abstract

A design method of error-free spur slice cutter is proposed according to urgent demand for the slice cutter in actual production. The structure of the rake face is determined according to technological realization of the design, manufacturing, and tool grinding. On that basis, the mathematical model of the rake face is built. Taking the error-free design as the goal, the mathematical model of major flank face is established based on the principle of the gear slicing. The mathematical models of designing angle and working angle are constructed by the equivalent methodology, spatial geometrical theory, and conjugation theory of space surface. The validity of the above study results is verified by using a calculation example. The design method lays a theory foundation for the study of cutter parameter optimization, tool life, and other aspects.
