Manufacturing Analysis of Face Milling Technology by Tool Setting Using the Same Initial Parameters

Abstract The axis of rotation of the tool is perpendicular for the machined surface in case of face milling technology. This technology is applicable for manufacturing of planar surfaces. It can be feasible by conventional or computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. The aim of this study is the manufacturing analysis of different tool settings that can cause different arc of contacts. The applied manufacturing parameters are the same except the tool position is changed in comparison with the workpiece. The tool is doing rotation motion while we are moving the table under to tool. The edge geometry of the tool can significantly influence the chip separation conditions, the tool wear and the received surface roughness.
