Ball end mill cutting in gradient optimizing feed.

Determining the cutting conditions for sculptured surface machining

“…Maeng [4] suggested a method for analysing the cutting mechanism and applying the optimisation algorithm, but it requires much computation and the application is limited to simple geometries. Takatsuto [5] determined the optimum feed using experimental data, but no theoretical analysis is presented, and the geometries that can be handled are also limited to simply increasing or simply decreasing ones. Thus, a method for varying inclination is required for practical, real-world problems.…”

Establishing a Novel Model for 5-Axis Milling with a Filleted End Mill

“…To name a few, optimum tilting angle in ball end milling was investigated by Zhao et al (6) . Optimum feed rate in ball end milling was represented by Takatsuto et al (7) .…”
