CLA value of the geometric surface finish obtained during turning operation with a tool-of-nose radius<br />

Based on the surface finish, SF max, specified on the turned surface, the constraint on feed can be expressed<br />

� SFmax, Cs In tolerance constraints, the machining complex, comprising the machine tool, workpiece, work holding<br />

device, and cutting tool, will be subjected to deflection under the action of cutting forces. This in turn<br />

causes inaccuracies on the diameter of component. The radial component of cutting force is dominant<br />

in causing the deflections in the machining complex (Kovan, 1959).<br />

The deflections produced in a plain cylindrical component can be calculated based on the theory of<br />

elasticity. However, in the case of stepped components, calculation of deflections becomes difficult. Hence,<br />

finite element method (FEM) procedures are used in the present work to compute the radial deflection<br />

of the component.<br />

The given component can be converted into a stepped component. In case of taper feature, a step<br />

with the mean diameter can be created. Grooves can be considered turn features with diameter as<br />

the starting diameter of the groove. The stepped component can then be modeled as an elastic beam<br />

with two-noded elements. Unit cutting force is applied on the surface being machined and the<br />

corresponding deflections in the component are calculated at different nodes using FEM procedures<br />

(Chandrupatla and Belegundu, 1991; Hinduja et al., 1985). The work-holding devices such as the<br />

head stock, tail stock, and carriage are assumed to be flexible, since they cannot have an infinite<br />

stiffness value (Prasad, 1994).<br />

The maximum deflection, � max, produced in the component due to the radial component of the cutting<br />

force can be expressed in terms of the cutting variables as<br />

Twice this radial deflection should not exceed the diametral tolerance specified on the turned surface,<br />

D tol. Thus,<br />

� max<br />

The above expression can also be used to check for cylindricity constraint. In this case, maximum<br />

deflection, � max, is equal to the difference between the maximum and minimum deflections produced in<br />

the surface being machined.<br />

In rough machining operations, workpiece rigidity constraint exists because, due to higher depths of<br />

cut and feed rates used, high cutting forces are developed, leading to significant deflections in the<br />

component. Hence, the maximum deflection � rm produced in the machined length of the component<br />

during rough machining, due to the radial component of cutting force, should not exceed a preset value,<br />

� max. This type of check can be made to prevent the incidence of chatter (Hinduja et al., 1985). The final<br />

form of the constraint can then be expressed as<br />
