Efficient Prediction of Runout Parameters in End Milling Operation

Abstract

This paper aims at studying a method to identify the cutter runout parameters for end milling. An analytical cutting force model for end milling is proposed to predict cutting force. The cutting force is separated into a nominal component independent of the cutter runout and a perturbation component induced by the cutter runout. Using the cutting force acting on the and directions to calculate the difference between the cutting radius of the adjacent tooth. Then runout parameters are obtained after a series of data processing. The simulation and the experimented results are made to validate the presented methods.
