Computer Simulation of Replaceable Many Sider Plates (RMSP) with Enhanced Chip-Breaking Characteristics

Abstract

Out of all common chip curling methods, a special tool face form has become the most widespread which is developed either by means of grinding or by means of profile pressing in the production process of RMSP. Currently, over 15 large tool manufacturers produce tools using instrument materials of over 500 brands. To this, we must add a large variety of tool face geometries, which purpose includes the control over form and dimensions of the chip. Taking into account all the many processed materials, specific tasks of the process planner, requirements to the quality of manufactured products, all this makes the choice of a proper tool which can perform the processing in the most effective way significantly harder. Over recent years, the nomenclature of RMSP for lathe tools with mechanical mounting has been considerably broadened by means of diversification of their faces.
