Mathematical Model of Rotary Machined Helical Surfaces

Abstract

The rotary cutting method of materials has a number of advantages over the existing traditional cutting methods, e.g. temperature decrease in the cutting zone, also noncumulative blade wear. Due to its high durability, the rotary tool allows processing hardened and difficult-to-machine materials, high-temperature alloys, as well as composite and laminated materials. However, this machining method is usually not applied for machining various shaped surfaces, which is mainly due to the lack of mathematical calculation of the resulting profiles, and the absence of a wide variety of methods for rotary tools installation. The article discusses the mathematical foundation of the resulting profile when processing helical surfaces when processing the flanks of rotary tools.
