Desarrollo de técnicas de fresado en cinco ejes de engranajes espiro cónicos y posterior metrología.

[ES]El presente Trabajo Fin de Grado tiene como objetivo contribuir al desarrollo de diferentes técnicas de fresado de engranajes espiro cónicos mediante fresadoras genéricas de cinco ejes. El proyecto estará dividido en varias partes que incluirán: el diseño de la geometría de las piezas a mecanizar, el propio proceso de manufactura y su posterior metrología. Durante el transcurso del curso 2014-2015 se documentará y participará activamente en el desarrollo de dichas técnicas de fresado. Proceso que será dirigido por Álvaro Álvarez, doctorando del departamento de Mecánica de la Escuela Superior de Ingeniería de Bilbao. El objetivo principal es llegar a ser capaz de obtener piezas de gran complejidad en su diseño y proceso de fabricación, dentro de los márgenes de calidad exigidos por las normas pertinentes y mediante un proceso novedoso y competitivo a nivel internacional.

Chatter avoidance in the milling of thin floors with bull-nose end mills: Model and stability diagrams

The milling of thin parts is a high added value operation where the machinist has to face the chatter problem. The study of the stability of these operations is a complex task due to the changing modal parameters as the part loses mass during the machining and the complex shape of the tools that are used. The present work proposes a methodology for chatter avoidance in the milling of flexible thin floors with a bull-nose end mill. First, a stability model for the milling of compliant systems in the tool axis direction with bull-nose end mills is presented. The contribution is the averaging method used to be able to use a linear model to predict the stability of the operation. Then, the procedure for the calculation of stability diagrams for the milling of thin floors is presented. The method is based on the estimation of the modal parameters of the part and the corresponding stability lobes during the machining. As in thin floor milling the depth of cut is already defined by the floor thickness previous to milling, the use of stability diagrams that relate the tool position along the tool-path with the spindle speed is proposed. Hence, the sequence of spindle speeds that the tool must have during the milling can be selected. Finally, this methodology has been validated by means of experimental tests.
