Study of the effective cutter radius for end milling of free-form surfaces using a torus milling cutter
Résumé
When end milling free-form surfaces using a torus milling cutter, the notion of
cutter effective radius is often used to address the procedure for removal of
material from a purely geometrical perspective. Using an original analytical
approach, the present study establishes a relation enabling the value of this
effective radius to be easily computed. The limits of validity of this relation
are then discussed and precisely defined.
By way of an illustration, an example of how this relation can be used to
generate a numerical tool for analysis of the possibilities for machining
free-form surfaces on multi-axis machine-tools is also presented.
