Generic Simulation Approach for Multi-Axis Machining, Part 2: Model Calibration and Feed Rate Scheduling

This is the second part of a two-part paper presenting a new methodology for analytically simulating multi-axis machining of complex sculptured surfaces. The first section of this paper offers a detailed explanation of the model calibration procedure. A new methodology is presented for accurately determining the cutting force coefficients for multi-axis machining. The force model presented in Part 1 of this paper is reformulated so that the …
