Abstract
This paper presents a new turning system where the guided cut chip during turning is pulled using an external pulling device to attain high-performance cutting. An electro-mechanical pulling device with sensor-less chip tension monitoring function is designed to steadily pull the guided chip and robustly assist the turning operation. The effect of chip tension on the process is modeled and experimentally verified. The developed chip pulling system is utilized to achieve direct real-time control of the cutting process and zero thrust force cutting is demonstrated. Developed system effectively reduces cutting energy for improved tool life and regulates cutting forces for high performance turning.
