Productivity of high speed milling operations can be seriously limited by chatter occurrence.

Abstract

Productivity of high speed milling operations can be seriously limited by chatter occurrence. Chatter vibrations can imprint a poor surface finish on the workpiece and can damage the cutting tool and the machine. Chatter occurrence is strongly affected by the dynamic response of the whole system, i.e. the milling machine, the tool holder, the tool, the workpiece and the workpiece clamping fixture. Tool changes must be taken into account in order to properly predict chatter occurrence. In this study, a model of the milling machine tool is proposed: the machine frame and the spindle were modeled by an experimentally evaluated modal model, while the tool was modeled by a discrete modal approach, based on the continuous beam shape analytical eigenfunctions. A chatter identification technique, based on this analytical-experimental model, was implemented. Tool changes can be easily taken into account without requiring any experimental tests. A 4-axis numerically controlled (NC) milling machine was instrumented in order to identify and validate the proposed model. The milling machine model was excited by regenerative, time-varying cutting forces, leading to a set of Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) with periodic coefficients. The stability lobe charts were evaluated using the semi-discretization method that was extended to n>2 degrees of freedom (dof) models. The stability predictions obtained by the analytical model are compared to the results of several cutting tests accomplished on the instrumented NC milling machine.
