Tool wear in terms of vibration effects in milling medium-density fibreboard with an industrial robot

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Machining with robots represents a promising, highly flexible and cost effective alternative to standard machining and hand labour applicationswhen machining mid tolerance soft material end products. One of the most challenging issues is to know the vibration characteristicsin milling with the robots which greatly affect tool life. In general the technological bases of tool life expectancy while millingwith robot arms are not available or studied. That`s why the purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of attained vibrationsanalysis during the milling process and correlated tool wear. Primarily the study is focused on tool wear according to the distance betweenthe milling position and the robot`s base. Results show that increasing distance between the robot's base and the milling positionsignificantly affects tool wear because of the attained vibrations in proportion to the increasing distance respectively. Tool wear has alsoproved to be greater in comparison to machining with CNC machine and applicable new information for woodworking industry.
