When milling with tools of a high length to diameter ratio, there is often a non negligible runout. Since those tools tend towards chatter because of their low stiffness, the effect of runout on the dynamic behavior of the tool must be considered. Runout adds an additional dynamic component to the tool vibration and thus to the dynamicly changing cutting forces. Furthermore runout affects the surface quality even in stable machining. This paper analyzes the effect of runout by simulation of the dynamic milling process and compares the results to experimental data. One aspect is the difference of the vibration patterns with and without runout. Furthermore, a method for the analysis of timeseries is presented in order to distinguish between chatter and runout. Another topic is the expected surface quality resulting from stable processes with runout. This surface is modeled, examined and compared to the one produced by a process without runout.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
