Abstract
Chatter prediction is crucial in high-speed milling, since at high speed, a significant increase of productivity can be achieved by selecting optimal set of chatter-free cutting parameters. However, chatter predictive models show reduced accuracy at high speed due to machine dynamics, acquired in stationary condition (i.e., without spindle rotating), but changing with spindle speed. This paper proposes a hybrid experimental-analytical approach to identify tool-tip frequency response functions during cutting operations, with the aim of improving chatter prediction at high speed. The method is composed of an efficient test and an analytical identification technique based on the inversion of chatter predictive model. The proposed technique requires few cutting tests and a microphone to calculate speed-dependent chatter stability in a wide range of spindle speed, without the need of stationary frequency response function (FRF) identification. Numerical and experimental validations are presented to show the method implementation and assess its accuracy. As proven in the paper, computed speed-dependent tool-tip FRF in a specific configuration (i.e., slotting) can be used to predict chatter occurrence in any other conditions with the same tool.
