Abstract
High-speed micro-milling is a versatile micromachining technology to develop miniaturized components with highly finished surfaces. However, cutting vibration is a generalized problem for this technology due to high spindle speed. This paper describes two different configurations of ultra-high speed micro-milling machine tool. The micro-milling machine consists of an ultra-high speed spindle having a maximum rotational speed of 140000 rpm and ultra-precision linear stages. The moving components have been accommodated in a developed rigid-type machine structure. In Configuration A, the spindle has been attached to the linear stage assembly. However, the spindle was attached to the upper block of the machine structure for Configuration B. The purpose was to reduce the cutting vibration for the micro-milling machine. Both the configured models had undergone FE analysis to evaluate the static stiffness, natural frequencies and dynamic stability. Based on the performance, Configuration A showed higher stiffness, rigidity and damping capability in contrast to Configuration B under both static and dynamic conditions. Therefore, Configuration A has been selected for ultra-high speed micro-milling operation.
