Experiment and Analysis on Side Milling Deformation of Thin-walled Workpieces Using Laddered Symmetrical Tool Path

摘要

The aluminum 7075 workpieces are machined on a vertical machining center KX650 using laddered symmetrical tool path. The deformation characteristics are studied under different cutting conditions. Different cutting parameters are changed one by one in side milling tests to find out their impact on deformation error. The analyzed result provides a solid basis for machining parameter optimization in side milling thin-walled workpieces.
