Abstract
Based on the spectrum analysis of the cutting forces, a simple and practical method to determine phase shift between the angular position of measured cutting forces and coordinate origin of the force model is presented. Comparing with the traditional method, the proposed method of determining phase shift does not need to select a specific reference point on the measured cutting force profiles, nor does it need to restrict the cutting conditions to single tooth engaging. Once the phase shift is determined, FFT (fast Fourier transform) is used to decompose the measured cutting force into the nominal cutting forces and the disturbing forces caused by the cutter runout geometry. Dual-mechanism global cutting constants can be extracted from the nominal cutting forces in one cutting test. By using the extracted cutting constants, online cutter runout can be identified from the disturbing force components at spindle frequency. To validate the proposed method, numerical simulations and milling experiments are carried out in this paper.
