Abstract

In peripheral milling with great axial engagements, the tool deflections generate some geometrical defects on the machined surface. This article present a prediction method of these defects which is applicable on every ruled surface. The cutting forces are estimate with the cutting pressure notion. The parameters of the tool/workpiece material couple are identified by a test part. The prediction of the tool deflections requires controlling the tool immersion angle for each angular position of the tool. The deflections can be significant. An original procedure which is based on an engagement cards avoids an iterative calculation of the radial engagement. The experimental checking of the method of prediction is presented in a test.
