Abstract

The chatter-free material removal rate during high-speed machining of aluminum using long, slender endmills is limited by the cutting system dynamics, which changes with the tool length. Traditional stability-lobe diagrams that predict the maximum allowable chip width for a given spindle speed are determined using the tool point frequency response function. A brief review is given of a combined analytical and experimental method that uses receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA) for the rapid prediction of the tool-point frequency response as the tool length is varied. The basic idea of the method is to combine the measured direct displacement vs. force receptance (i.e., frequency response) at the free end of the spindle-holder system with analytical expressions for the tool receptances. The method is then used to provide an explanation for the dynamic absorber effect that has been observed in the context of tool-length tuning.
