Abstract

In the high-speed milling process of large end milling cutter, the stress of cutter caused by centrifugal force accounts for a large proportion of the total stress of the cutter and has a great influence on the milling process. In this paper, an end milling cutter with a diameter of 2,800 mm used on large and high-speed aluminum blank milling machine tools is taken as a research object, and the equations of internal stress caused by centrifugal force have been derived by using analytic method. On this basis, the factors affecting the internal stress were analyzed. Furthermore, the analytic results and the finite element analysis results were compared in order to confirm their correctness. Finally, according to the results of stress analysis, structure topology optimization design for large end milling cutter was carried out in order to reduce the weight and centrifugal force of the cutter.
