Dynamic Analysis of Cam Manufacturing

Pham HH and Nguyen PV

In cam milling process, cutting force is a variant factor during every time period and cam has a quite complex profile that leads to alternate force direction. These consequently, create machine vibration. The dynamic behaviour of machine can be predicted approximately if it is represented by a mathematical model. This paper shows result of cam cutting machine’s dynamic, which used Lagrange’s equation to solve. In this case, the machine vibration is surveyed only dimensions such as X and Y through using cutting condition with alloy cutting tool to mill a 10 mm thickness steel cam. The machine is modelled into the two degree of freedom vibrating system follow X and Y direction. Each of X and Y table equal to the compound: stiffness, damper and mass, which applied as constant coefficients in Lagrange’s equation. On the other hand, analysing cam characteristic and milling process in detail provides the resultant cutting follow X and Y in order to become external force of previous equation. After giving data in sufficient that necessary for problem, Matlab Simulink displays the vibration of X, Y for two states tangent force factor Kt=299.3 and Kt=598.6. At the end, it gives a comparison between these states.
