-selection algorithm detected tool breakage in all the test cases. 1 Introduction Manufacturers are always looking for ways to improve productivity without compromising on quality of manufacturing processes. To this end, much attention has been directed towards automated manufacturing. In drilling or high-speed

High-speed milling is widely used to manufacture products. Examples of application areas are the aerospace industry and mould industry. Cost-related considerations place high demands on the material removal rate and surface generation rate. However, in this respect restrictions on the process

In todays manufacturing industry, high-speed milling plays an important role. The main benefits of high-speed milling over conventional milling are the high material removal rates with relatively low cutting forces. The efficiency

The stability charts of high-speed milling are constructed. Non-conventional unstable regions and vibration frequencies are identified. These are related to flip bifurcation, i.e. period doubling vibrations occur apart of the conventional self-excited vibrations typical for turning or low-speed

conditions, as well as the complexity of the cutting process itself, the modelling of cutting performance in high-speed milling process has remained a challenging issue for both academia and industry. This paper attempts to exploit a force-based approach to model the cutting performance and detect

The paper describes some details of the mechanical and kinematics design of a five-axis mechanism. The design has been utilized to physically realize an industrial-scale five-axis milling machine that can carry a three KW spindle. However, the mechanism could be utilized in other material

This paper investigates the High speed end milling of Al-Si-Mg-Fe alloy for aerospace and automotive industry. High speed machining has received important interest because it leads to an increase of productivity and a better workpiece surface quality. At high cutting speeds, the tool wears

The results of recent research into ultra high-speed milling production will revolutionize machine tool design concepts and associated technical-economic study parameters. Testing demonstrated major improvements in productivity, part stability, and process selection. Several specific production

In high-speed milling (HSM), the occurrence of chatter vi-brations limits the performance of the milling process. The occurrence of chatter results in heavy vibrations of the cut-
