Abstract

Burr formation is a bottleneck of the production line and deteriorates the automation integrity. To this question, investigations were carried out in this paper on the burr formation in milling aluminum alloy (Al-alloy), in order to enhance productivity and workpiece quality by active process control. Milling burr formation were predicted and minimized for the sake of rough machining and finishing operation, using strategies of tool path planning, processing parameter optimization as well as workpiece rigidity strengthening. The conclusions reached in this paper are useful in practice to realize burr-free Al-alloy milling for manufacturing automation
