1Measurement precision

If conventional machining error calculation methods are used for interrupted cutting, then the calculation process is simple, but the machining error calculation precision is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachining error calculation precisionVSAvoidcalculation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The calculation system is segmented into distinct functional units: cutting resistance force calculation unit, tool center displacement amount calculation unit, relative tool-edge position calculation unit, absolute tool-edge position calculation unit, machined shape calculation unit, and machining error calculation unit. Each unit handles a specific aspect of the calculation process, enabling high-precision machining error calculation through systematic decomposition of the complex calculation task.

2Measurement precision

If the displacement amount of the rotation center is used directly as the machining error, then the calculation is simple, but the machining error calculation is not precise because it does not account for the relative position of the cutting edge during rotation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachining error calculation precisionVSAvoidcalculation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically calculates the relative tool-edge position based on the rotation phase of the rotation tool, and combines this with the tool center displacement to determine the absolute tool-edge position. This dynamic approach accounts for the changing position of the cutting edge during rotation, enabling precise machining error calculation that reflects the actual machining conditions at each phase of the rotation cycle.
