Description
- The present invention relates to the technical field of micro-milling measurements, and more particularly to a measurement method and system of undeformed chip thickness in micro-milling.
- Micro-milling is an efficient micro-machining technique that has a broad prospect of application in the field of micro-parts machining. The undeformed chip thickness corresponds to the chip load, which directly affects the cutting performance of micro-milling, such as cutting force, vibration and surface quality. Accurate measurement of undeformed chip thickness is of great significance for improvement in micro-milling performance. The undeformed chip thickness in traditional milling can be determined by the feed per tooth. However, the feed per tooth is small in micro-milling, and the tool runout and resultant asymmetric wear have very significant impact on the undeformed chip thickness. To measure the undeformed chip thickness in micro-milling, it is usually necessary to measure the tool runout and wear in advance, which greatly reduces the measurement efficiency. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop an efficient measurement method of undeformed chip thickness in micro-milling without measuring tool runout and wear.
- At present, academic and industrial circles have made a lot of research on the measurement of micro-milling tool runout and wear, but there are few reports on the method of undeformed chip thickness measurement. Although the undeformed chip thickness can be estimated by measuring the tool runout and the asymmetry of tool wear, with this method, it is difficult to make online measurements, and measuring the runout and wear in advance will greatly reduce the measurement efficiency.
- The present invention aims to address the technical problem of providing a measurement method of undeformed chip thickness in micro-milling that allows undeformed chip thickness measurement in micro-milling without measuring the tool runout and wear in advance, which significantly shortens the measurement flow and improves the measurement efficiency.

- S4: reconstructing the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness in micro-milling based on the difference of equivalent cutting radius between adjacent cutter teeth.
- As a further improvement of the present invention, in the step S3:
-
- if all the cutter teeth are engaged in cutting, then the difference of equivalent cutting radius ΔRk,k-1 between adjacent cutter teeth is calculated based on the space between adjacent tool marks according to the formula:
-
ΔR k,k-1 =d k,k-1 −f z -
- where dk,k-1 is the spacing distance between adjacent tool marks and fz is the feed per tooth.
- As a further improvement of the present invention, in the step S3:

-
ΔR k,k-i =d k,k-i −i·f z -
- where i is the difference of sequence number between two adjacent cutter teeth engaged in cutting.
- As a further improvement of the present invention, if there is any cutter tooth that is not engaged in cutting, the sequence number of the cutter tooth that is not engaged in cutting is determined based on the periodicity of a cutting force signal.

- S2: extracting a tool mark at the central line of the flute from the surface topography picture.
- S3: calculating a spacing distance between adjacent tool marks and calculating the difference of equivalent cutting radius between adjacent cutter teeth based on the spacing distance between adjacent tool marks. Specifically, the step S3 includes:
- S31: if all the cutter teeth are engaged in cutting, then calculating the difference of equivalent cutting radius ΔRk,k-1 between adjacent cutter teeth based on the space between adjacent tool marks according to the formula:
-
ΔR k,k-1 =d k,k-1 −f z (1) -
- where dk,k-1 is the spacing distance between adjacent tool marks and fz is the feed per tooth.
- Further, the Step S3 further includes:
-
- S32: if there is any cutter tooth that is not engaged in cutting, then setting the difference between the equivalent radius of the cutter tooth that is not engaged in cutting and the equivalent radius of any one cutter tooth to negative infinity; and for the cutter tooth engaged in cutting, calculating the difference of equivalent radius between adjacent cutter teeth based on the formula:
-
ΔR k,k-i =d k,k-i −i·f z (2) -
