| High Speed Cutting (HSC) is a technology which is already in widespread use and is increasingly displacing conventional machining technologies. High metal removal rates, improved surface quality, machining of hardened components and the possibility of producing geometries that were previously impossible to manufacture such as thin walls, within a short time, are the reasons for this success. From the processing aspect, HSC is employed for turning, milling, drilling, reaming, thread cutting (milling and drilling) and grinding.;A cutting force, which is generated during machining process, can be measured by a dynamometer. The cutting forces are an important parameter for tool condition monitoring. Forces can be used as reference to predict other process output parameters such as tool wear, surface roughness and tool life that will lead to enhance the machining accuracy and efficiency, whereby improved machining can be realized and tool life can be extended. In this study, a review of the mechanic of chip formation in milling is presented forces are also generated during end milling were also measured experimentally. A dynamometer, three-channel amplifier, data acquisition card and a computer, were used to measure cutting forces in end milling. The experimental setup was utilized to study the force signal and how it will be affected by different process parameters. Different types of tools were tested under different values of radial depth of cut. |
