SCULPTURED SURFACES<br />

In finishing and superfinishing,<br />

especially in<br />

HSM applications, the<br />

target is to reach a<br />

good geometrical and<br />

dimensional accuracy<br />

and reduce or even<br />

eliminate all manual<br />

polishing.<br />

Spinle speed n = 12000 rpm, cutter diameter = 6 mm<br />

In many cases it is favourable to choose<br />

the feed per tooth, fz, identical with the<br />

radial depth of cut, ae (ƒz = ae).<br />

This gives following advantages:<br />

• very smooth surface finish in all directions<br />

• very competitive, short machining time<br />

• very easy to polish this symmetrical<br />

surface texture, self detecting character<br />

via peaks and valleys<br />

• increased accuracy and bearing resistance<br />

on surface gives longer tool life on die<br />

or mould<br />

• minimum cusp or scallop height decides<br />
