This paper presents the cutting simulation system for prediction and regulation of cutting force in CNC machining. The cutting simulation system includes geometric model, cutting force model, and off-line fred rate scheduling model. ME Z-map(Moving Edge node Z-map) is constructed for cutting configuration calculation. The cutting force models using cutting-condition-independent coefficients are developed for flat-end milling and ball-end milling. The off-line feed rate scheduling model is derived from the developed cutting force model. The scheduled feed rates are automatically added to a given set of NC code, which regulates the maximum resultant cutting force to the reference force preset by an operator. The cutting simulation system can be used as an effective tool for improvement of productivity in CNC machining.

This paper presents an accurate cutting simulation and feedrate scheduling system for CNC machining. This system is composed of a cutting simulation part and a feedrate scheduling part. The cutting simulation part computes the geometric informations and calculates the cutting forces in CNC machining. The cutting force model using cutting-condition-independent coefficients was introduced for flat end milling and ball end milling. The feedrate scheduling part divides original blocks of NC code into smaller ones with optimized feedrates to adjust the peak value of cutting forces to reference forces. Some machining examples show that the developed system can control the cutting force at desired levels.

A new approach for modelling and simulation of the cutting forces in end milling processes is presented. In this approach, the cutting forces in end milling are modelled based on a predictive machining theory, in which the machining characteristic factors are predicted from input data of fundamental workpiece material properties, tool geometry and cutting conditions. In the model, each tooth of a end milling cutter is divided into a number of slices along the cutter axis. The cutting action of each of the slices is modelled as an oblique cutting process. For the first slice of each tooth, it is modelled as oblique cutting with end cutting edge effect, whereas the cutting actions of other slices are modelled as oblique cutting without end cutting edge effect. The cutting forces in the oblique cutting processes are predicted using a predictive machining theory. The total cutting forces acting on the cutter is obtained as the sum of the forces at all the cutting slices of all the teeth. A Windows-based simulation system for the cutting forces in end milling is developed using the model. Experimental milling tests have been conducted to verify the simulation system.

Recently, according to the development of mechatronics industry that was composed of NT, ST, IT, RT and etc, the 1 necessity of nano-parts was increased. Because of the necessity, this research was started for improving work precision of the parts as fixing UPCU( Ultra Precision Cutting Unit)on lathe. So, in this research we executed the modeling of UPCU (Ultra Precision Cutting Unit) by the application of PZT, the relationship between the displacement of tool in UPCU and the cutting force of it has been in take a triangular position in the case of plane cutting. The modeling of system that is containing the fine displacement was performed. Also, we found like to find the optimal cutting condition through the simulation of relationship between the displacement and the cutting force.

In a metal grating manufacturing process, the cutting operation allocates the gratings and cut them out from given panels or a plate sheets. Before the cutting operation an operator generates a cutting plan. The cutting plan should decide how pieces of metal rectangles i.e., gratings, are allocated and cut from the panel. This plan generation is a deal of weight on the production cost. the generation of cutting plan is similar to the general two-dimensional cutting problem. In this paper, we first define cutting problem and Af algorithm of Artificial Intelligence to solve the problem. Also, through a simulation, we compare the proposed cutting algorithm to an existing method in terms of material loss

In most of the existing mechanistic models, the cutting process simulation is often restricted to a single path machining operation under a fixed cutting condition. Complex cutting processes such as die or mold manufacturing, however, are performed under two- or three-dimensional multiple tool paths. Since the tool paths in CNC machining are composed of line and arc segments, transient cuts are frequently occured due to the multiple paths. Even in steady cuts, the width of cut is varied with each segment. In this regard, this paper deals with the development of process simulation system for transient cuts, where continuously changing cutting configuration is computed, and then the cutting forces are predicted.

Productivity of machining using machine tools is affected by cutting conditions such as cutting speed, feedrate and depth. However, undesirable conditions that lengthen the machining cycle and shorten the tool life occur frequently because determination of cutting condition is known to depend on human experience. This paper presents a method of cycle reduction by removing undesirable conditions. For cycle reduction, maximum cutting load is determined using commercial FEM simulation code. The feedrate in the NC program is altered based on a predetermined cutting load value. To make a decision on the proposed effectiveness, a simulation is performed for the brake hub parts of an automobile. From the evaluation, it was found that the cycle reduction was under 15%.

Study on the Ti-6Al-4V have been carried out using cutting simulation, and researches for cutting force and chip shape prediction have been actively conducted under various conditions. However, a 3D printer application method using Ti-6Al-4V metal powder material as a high-power method has been studied for the purpose of prototyping, mold modification and product modification while lowering material removal rate. However, in the case of products / parts made of 3D printers using powder materials, problems may occur in the contact surface during tolerance management and assembly due to the degradation of the surface quality. As a result, even if a 3D printer is applied, post-processing through cutting is essential for surface quality improvement and tolerance management. In the cutting simulation, the cutting force and the chip shape were predicted based on the Johnson-Cook composition equation, but the shape of the shear type chip was not predictable. To solve this problem, we added a damaging term or strain softening term to the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation to predict chip shape. In this thesis, we applied the constant value of the S-K equations to the cutting simulation to predict the cutting force and compare with the experimental data to verify the validity of the cutting simulation and analyzed the machining characterization by considering conditions.

NC cutting simulation is an important factor in the development of products. The geometric modelling of cutter swept surface should be done in NC cutting simulation. A part of cutter swept surface is a ruled surface blended with silhouette curve and cutter path. Finding an intersection point between cutter swept surface and a line is one of major problems in Z-map based cutting simulation. In this paper, cutter swept surface is defined parametrically and it's intersection point with Z-map is found in an exact form. Triangular grid Z-map based 3-axis NC cutting simulation is performed.

This paper describes a processing verification technique for developing about end-milling cutters. Developed software is processing verification module for manufacturing. By using cutting simulation method, we can obtain center points of finding wheel via Boolean operation between a grinding wheel and a cylindrical workpiece. The obtained CL data can be used for calculating NC data. After then, we can simulate by using designed grinding machine and NC data. This research has been implemented on a commercial CAD system by using the API function programming. The operator can evaluate the cutting simulation process and reduce the time of design and manufacturing.
