Abstract


Besides the tools and the machining equipment, the optimal design of the machining technology is of central importance in the field of machining. This is especially the case in machining thin-walled profiles made of fiber-reinforced composites. Vibrations during machining represent an important factor for the tool stability and tool life. The object of the study is thus an experimental investigation of pocket milling with solid carbide tools with different tool path strategies. The resulting vibration patterns and machining forces are analyzed. As a result of the study, an objective comparison of the different technologies based on key performance indicators is presented.
