Abstract
The
focus of this research is to modify and expand the current algorithm
for Exit Order Sequence (EOS) scheme, a very reliable burr prediction
tool for face milling operation. Given the complexity of the calculations
involved and lack of analytical solutions, the new algorithm takes a
more general approach by tessellating the curved edges into small straight
edges. With this approach the algorithm is applicable to any given part
geometry and at the same time to any given tool-path (NC or CNC) for
that part geometry. A fully interactive graphical user interface (GUI)
has been implemented with built-in solid geometric viewer. A burr size
database has also been developed, which quantifies the burr size based
on the EOS.
Keywords:
burr prediction, exit order sequence, face milling, graphic user interface.
