Online tool condition monitoring in micromilling using LSTM

The micro-milling experiments were carried out along circular tool paths as shown in Fig. 2b. In Fig. 2b, r is the radius of the curved path, and it was considered as one of the independent parameters in this experiment. In this work, when a tool completes a semicircle, that part is called "slot" (as shown in Fig. 2c). The total number of slots machined was considered …

Modified tool radius compensation in the Archimedes' spiral tool path

For this reason, ensuring a smooth tool path, where its elements meet the tangency condition and have the same curvature at the joining point (C 2 continuity), is a key issue in CNC programming. Spiral milling is one of the tool path strategies that can reduce abrupt changes of direction and tool repositioning.
