New Approaches for the Determination of Specific Values for Process Models in Machining Using Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract The acceptance of the use of mathematical models for the determination of process forces in machining is directly dependent on the quality of the used characteristic values. The approach of an automated data acquisition without the need of an additional force measuring system in the cutting machine is one possibility of a broader application. For the 2.5D milling process, a concept to determine the specific cutting forces k c by recording dynamic process data were developed. The specific values are further processed into an artificial neuronal network (ANN) with the aim to learn it.
