404 Profile Measuring Method of Micro Diameter Tool Cutting Edge by Means of Laser Diffraction : Theoretical Analysis and Fundamental Experiment

Abstract

This paper will propose a new approach to measure deformation, flank wear on micro diameter tool cutting edge. In other words, we can evaluate the change of cutter diameter. Furthermore, due to this approach bases on applied laser diffraction, it can be also applied to in-process measurement. Subsequently, this theoretical analysis and fundamental experiment will show that it is available to measure cutting edge deformation, flank wear in submicrometer resolution.
