A new cutting tool control method of one-side processing for cylindrical indexing cam is proposed. Without increasing the coordinated axes of numerical control machine
one-side processing for cylindrical indexing cam is realized
and a mathematical model of cutting tolls control method is established. This technology overcomes the shortage of the equivalent-radius enveloping method
improves the machining accuracy and the quality of contour surface
increases the life span of the tools
and also economically realizes the grinding of the cam.
