Part Programming to Realize Chatter Free and Efficient High Speed Milling
High speed milling (HSM) is the most known machining process due to its application in various industries. In milling, a rotating cutting tool removes a large amount of material along a predefined toolpath to manufacture the final part with a desired shape ...
EPFL2012Selection of Optimal Cutting Conditions for Pocket Milling Using Genetic Algorithm
Paul Xirouchakis, Saurabh Aggarwal
Pocket milling is the most known machining operation in the domains of aerospace, die and mold manufacturing. In the present work, GA-OptMill, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based optimization system for minimization of pocket milling time, is developed. A wide ...
Springer London Ltd2012Optimal selection of cutting parameters in multi-tool milling operations using a genetic algorithm
Paul Xirouchakis, Jitender Kumar Rai, Mohammed Slama, Daniel Brand
In the milling of large monolithic structural components for aircraft, 70-80% of the total cut volume is removed using high-speed roughing operations. In order to achieve the economic objective (i.e. optimal part quality in minimal machining time) of this ...
Taylor & Francis2011NC tool path evaluator and generator for high speed milling
Milling is a most common type of material removal process by rotating tools to create a variety of features on a part. The material is removed in a controlled way by sweeping a rotating cylindrical tool along the specific trajectory known as milling tool p ...
EPFL2009FEM-based prediction of workpiece transient temperature distribution and deformations during milling
Paul Xirouchakis, Jitender Kumar Rai
In high-speed dry milling of thin-walled parts, the cutter-workpiece temperature rises asymptotically with cutting speed, causing excessive cutter tooth wear and workpiece thermal expansion, which in turn reduces the cutter life and produces dimensional an ...
Springer-Verlag2009FEM-MILL: a finite element based 3D transient milling simulation environment for process plan verification and optimization
The rigid body motion of thin walled parts and their elastic-plastic deformations induced during high speed milling are the main root causes of part geometrical and dimensional variabilities; these are governed mainly from the choice of process plan parame ...
