Abstract
New ball end mills in various lighting conditions were examined and detailed 3D models were obtained. Differences in the geometry of the tool tip resulted in a surface with drastically different parameters. The effect of the edge break was observed. The obtained 3D models were used to create a map of the material loss on the cutting edge of cutting tool.
Highlights
Observation of the tool wear process and the impact of its geometry on the obtained surface unevenness have been the subject of many studies and publications [1,2,3,4]
The use of a focal differentiation microscope for this purpose allows you to make all measurements with one device [6]
In the studies described in this publication, an InfiniteFocus G5 microscope was used at the headquarters of ITA
Summary
New ball end mills in various lighting conditions were examined and detailed 3D models were obtained. Observation of the tool wear process and the impact of its geometry on the obtained surface unevenness have been the subject of many studies and publications [1,2,3,4]. The use of a focal differentiation microscope for this purpose allows you to make all measurements with one device [6] Both in measuring the tool and inequality of the obtained surface, the focus variation technology is used, which allows detailed imaging of the complex geometry of rotary tools. In the studies described in this publication, an InfiniteFocus G5 microscope was used at the headquarters of ITA It enables the detection of rounded edges of several micrometers and the measurement of strongly inclined surfaces. The resolution of this device allows for reliable measurements of surface irregularities in almost the entire range of quantities obtained in machining [5]
