✦ Synopsis

To increase productivity in manufacturing, accurate cuttingsimulation systems have increasingly been used to study the performance of machining processes. A new dynamic cutting-simulation system that can simulate the dynamic behaviour of the milling cutting force along the programmed NC toolpath is presented in the paper. The radial and axial depths of cut in the cutting process are extracted from a geometric cutting-simulation system on a CAD/C~ workstation. Then, the radial and axial depths of cut and the other given cutting parameters are transmitted to a mechanistic model of the milling process from which the dynamic cutting force is obtained. There is good agreement between the simulated and measured cutting forces.
