Peripheral Milling of Wooden Materials without Cutter-Marks – A Mechatronic Approach
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Peripheral milling is an important cutting procedure to shape work pieces of wood. Because of the kinematical principle there are so-called cutter-marks on the surface of the work pieces after cutting which influence the quality. These surface patterns cannot be avoided completely and most of the time there are some efforts to smooth the surface by sanding or linear cutting afterwards which cost extra time and money. To improve this situation a new mechatronic approach is introduced to eliminate the cycloid motion track when the cutting edge approaches the work piece. In this way, the effective motion of the cutting edge is changed to a linear motion by means of piezo actuators or magnetic bearings.
