An Empirical Estimation of Cutting Force for Face Milling Using a Stationary Dynamometer

Being known the lack of information about constants that appear in the Kienzle relationship, this work proposes a solution to reduce the effort required to customize their values.

Applied to face milling, the proposed procedure makes it possible to identify the coefficients in the case of turning, using experiments under certain conditions of similarity, which are then used to calculate the principal cutting force in the case of milling.

The proposed procedure uses a stationary dynamometer both to measure the cutting force in the case of turning and to calculate the tangential force in the case of face milling.

The experiments carried out have tried to simulate a real processing case for industry, the worpiece material being used as supplied by the supplier.
