Application of Diamond Fly Cutting to Improve Form Accuracy by In-Process Measurement and Control for Ordinary Milling Machines

This paper proposes to improve the form accuracy of a machined surface produced by an ordinary milling machine by diamond fly cutting using controlled cutting with reference surface (CCRS), an in-process measurement and control method. CCRS improves machined surface accuracy by controlling the relative displacement between the tool and workpiece. Diamond fly cutting using CCRS was demonstrated to reduce the table motion error on an ordinary milling machine.
