Introduction:• What is micro end milling? 1mm - .04µm dia• Applications of micro end milling• Micro end milling vs. Conventional end milling
– Feed/tooth to tool radius– Cutting conditions– Detection of tool wear
• Various cutting force analyses

• Previous analyses – Analytic cutting force of the conventional end mill as a
function of chip thickness and cutting area, Tlusty et al
– Analytic cutting force model of micro end mill based on Tlusty , Bao et al
• Major shortcomings– Based mainly on differences between tool tip
trajectories– Ignored the effect of tool edge radius

Operator’s tool lifeTool life is measured by:
• Visual inspection of tool edge• Tool breaks• Fingernail test• Changes in cutting sounds• Chips become ribbony, stringy• Surface finish degrades• Computer interface says
- power consumption up- cumulative cutting time reaches certain level- cumulative number of pieces cut reaches certain value

Models & Design Principles
• Model based on the tool edge radius
• When depth of cut is close or smaller than the tool edge radius, the radius effects cannot be ignored
![Page 6: Corey Christensen 10/10/2007](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56815b61550346895dc949c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Tool edge radius affects cutting mechanisms
• Elastic recovery in the flank face of the work piece• Sliding due to the contact between the tool and the work
piece• Ploughing due to the tool edge
These cutting mechanisms change the cutter forces in the feed and normal directions
![Page 7: Corey Christensen 10/10/2007](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56815b61550346895dc949c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

• Contact length of the tool on the work piece
• Chip thickness variation as a function of tool rotation angle θ ft = Feed/tooth
• Feed and normal forces plane shear and flank face contact friction

• Principal cutting force and thrust cutting force
• Final derivation of feed and normal cutting forces

Experiment• High speed machining
center• Aluminum work piece• Forces measured using a
high speed dynamometer• Forces captured using a
digital oscilloscope• Cutting origin set using a
CCD camera• Feed/tooth set between 1-
3µm• Tool edge radius r = 2µm

Results
• Previous experiments & models– Conventional cutting
• Normal Force > Feed Force– Micro cutting according to Bao and Tansel
• Normal Force > Feed Force
![Page 11: Corey Christensen 10/10/2007](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56815b61550346895dc949c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Feed force and normal force were relatively close• Attributed by flank face frictional force caused by the
tool-work piece contact• Existing models did not account for the points where the
tool rotation begins and ends

• Percent error was relatively low• Percent error from existing models and experiments not
cited for comparison

Conclusions
• Derived a model that predicted micro end milling cutting forces
• Included the tool edge radius effect• Predicted feed and normal cutting forces
due to the tool edge radius

Why is it important?
• Help predict tool wear and failure• Extend tool life through known cutting
conditions
Industries affected• Electronics, biomedical, aerospace, etc• High precision and accurate dimension
