Multi-objective optimization and experimental study of the milling parameters of cycloid gear

Abstract

Abstract To improve production efficiency and reduce machining cost of end milling cycloid gear, a multi-objective milling parameter optimization method which is based on the dynamic characteristics of the machining system is proposed. Using optimized milling parameters for finishing milling cycloid gear, the maximum tool tip deformation is reduced from 0.258μm to 0.092μm by 64.3%, the material removal rate is reduced from 1.56 cm3/mm to 1 cm3/mm by 35.9%, the tool life and the machining accuracy are significantly improved. Effectiveness of the milling parameter optimization model for cycloid gear is verified by milling experiments.
