The Effect Of Cutting Condition Selection On Tool Life In Sand Milling, Craig Ertl
The Effect Of Cutting Condition Selection On Tool Life In Sand Milling, Craig Ertl
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This study was completed to address the problem of determining what effect selected cutting conditions have on tool wear and tool life in robotic sand milling (RSM) operations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the tool wear mechanisms and characteristics that govern the RSM process. The purpose was also to establish an experimental methodology that may be used in future studies to assess tool life when examining various tooling materials and designs, as well as additional sand workpiece materials. Completing this research allowed the machining process to be optimized by analyzing differences in tooling cost with variable values …
