Abstract

In this paper various properties of the parameters used in Modulated Tool Path (MTP) Machining are reviewed. MTP correlates sinusoidal oscillations with the conventional tool path to eliminate entanglement of chips in machining process. A great deal of research is carried out in UNC, Charlotte on nesting of chips. Parameters like tool oscillation frequency (OPR) and oscillation amplitude relative to global feed per revolution (Raf) required to command CNC oscillation tool path. In addition, the factors like chip length, temperature, cutting force, surface quality and residual surface stress also influence the machining process. The effects of these parameters are studied and compared between conventional machining and MTP machining.
