A simulation system for improving machining accuracy in milling

The end milling process is used extensively in a variety of manufacturing areas, especially in the aerospace industry, where many of the machined parts are pockets and thin webs. Many of the end milling applications involve machining of thin webs using long and flexible cutters. This leads to the fundamental problem of surface accuracy in milling. The superposition of the tool and the workpiece deflections, which is known as effective system …
