Popis: The helical groove shape plays a key role in ensuring the adequate flute space of many screw components. In many situations, the helical groove is machined through profiled grooving cutter, which brings a huge cost. This study establishes the mathematical model of helical groove based on cross-section and presents an approach to calculate tool path using the whirling process which machines helical groove through enwrapping movements with standard cutters. Finally, a case study and the error analysis are provided to illustrate the validity of the developed models and algorithms, which offers an alternative method for further computer aided manufacturing.
