Automated system for calculating the parameters of dimensional adjustment of end mills for processing flat surfaces on CNC machines

Based on the analysis of the cutting conditions of the milling cutters and their geometric parameters, the authors propose an approach to modeling the rational positions of the coordinate systems of the workpiece and tool at the initial and final points of the cutting paths, as well as the values of the cutting tools during processing with end mills. The presented system makes it possible to reduce the cost of processing flat surfaces with end mills due to the reduction of the main (machine) time by minimizing the values of the working strokes of the milling cutters, to increase the service life and durability of the milling cutter by assigning the sparing cutting modes recommended by tool manufacturers in the area of dynamic loads when cutting the milling cutter, and to improve the surface quality indicators in the area of cutting the tool. The developments can be used in technological departments of machine - building enterprises, organizations specializing in the development of CAM systems, as well as in the educational process.
