Abstract

Cutting forces in traditional machining processes solely originates from the contact points on the cutting tool and workpiece. Therefore comprehensive mechanistic modeling of the machining process offers a means for realizing a sensorless cutting force monitoring system. This paper presents the progressive development of a sensorless compensation system for cutting force-induced error, whereby a learning and intelligent computer system is established, based on machining mechanics modeling and a reference compensation system. Experiences from normal machining sessions of new cutting tools and workpieces are modeled progressively and incorporated into the system. Finally with ample experience available, a full-fledged sensorless system is developed as a stand-alone solution. The sensorless system is economical, convenient, reliable and efficient. Administered on a CNC face milling machine, the model demonstrated exceptional performance and robustness.
