Abstract
The paper proposes a fast extraction method for cutter-workpiece engagement (CWE), which greatly facilitates the milling force prediction during multi-axis machining. One of the key cores of the method is to reconstruct the nearby cut-off material of workpiece using a set of past neighboring cutter location points (CLPs), and obtain the CWE entity through local Boolean operation among the current tool, workpiece blank, and reconstructed entity. Moreover, by performing 2-dimensional (2D) image mapping, the engagement boundary of CWE entity will be quickly obtained. Combining with the analytical formula of instantaneous undeformed chip thicknesses (IUCTs), the composite IUCT for tool side and bottom cutting edges during actual immersion is further derived. Finally, accurate and fast prediction of milling force with consideration of tool attitude, corner feature and bottom cutting effect is achieved. The results reveal that the method can predict milling force with an excellent performance of first-order computation complexity.
