Abstract
Edge imperfections are often introduced on workpieces due to plastic deformation during machining. These imperfections are known as burrs. Since the deburring operation is costly, the control of burr formation is a research topic of great significance for industrial applications. This study introduces a system that focuses on the prediction of burr positions and dimensions in the end milling process as a preventive measurement method. This system is based on burr formation models, analytical cutting force models, and experimental validation. Both the predicted and experimental results were found to agree in some cutting conditions.
