Abstract

Complex cavity generally is machined in 3 axis or 3+2 axis machine tools, it has large amount of metal to be removed. For complex cavity machining, the cutting speed of ball end mill`s head point is zero, which makes its end milling ability poor; Torus cutter `s flat bottom width is wide, which causes curvature interference and concave-uncut. So this article designs a new kind of cutter for complex cavity roughing and semi-finishing, which can improve ball end mill`s poor end milling ability and decrease flat-end width. The simulation results show that the new cutter`s feasibility of machining complex cavity is better, and it can obviously reduce the amount of owe cutting compared with the torus cutter; At the same time, the new cutter can improve machining efficiency by 32.4% compared with the ball end mill, and good surface can also be generated.
