Control of Uncertainty Based on Machining Strategies during Reaming

The bore quality is influenced by machine’s accuracy, work piece and tool errors as well as handling errors. This uncertainty has a huge impact on the quality of the finished bore. During reaming, the majority of tool deflection arises during the unsteady process phase. The entry phase is regarded as the biggest influencing factor for the reamer’s deflection with increasing bore depth. This paper examines the influence of various entry strategies on the bore quality during the reaming process.
