Herbert Schulz (1), Technical University of Darmstadt/Germany; Toshimichi Moriwaki (1), Kobe University/Japan
Abstract
The high speed machining is now recognized as one of the key manufacturing technologies for higher productivity and
throughput. The papar reviews recent development in high speed machining and related technology especially in the last
decade. The state of the art of high speed cutting, cutting tools and machine tools for high speed cutting are presented.
The realization of hsc demands new unconventional solutions for machine tools and their components. The optimization
and the safety precautions of the tools are very important. nme reduction of more than 50% can be achieved.

speed that can be achieved depends upon the work material, lhe type of
cutting operation, the cutting tool used etc.. Thus, the definition of high

The major objectives of high speed machining research are classified into
three categorias. The first, pursued in the early stage of research, was the lilcnum
technologicai breakthrough in machining of titanium and steel alloys, which nickel-lxlse

emphasis was placed on tuming and milling of aluminum-, nickel-based·,
titanium- and lerrous alloys. The experimental cutting speed ranged lrom
0.0013 m/min to 24,500 m/min. Some of the results were published in
"High Speed Machining" edited by R. Komanduri, K. Subramanian and B.
F. von Turkovich, published by ASME /44/. The book also contains various
contributions related to lhe high speed machining ai that time.
ln Germany lhe researches on hsc were deeply supported by lhe Ministry
of Research and Technology (BMFT). Two joint research projects under
lhe leadership of the lnstitute of Production Engineering and Machine
Tools (PTW) of lhe Technical University Darmstadt were sponsored by the
BMFT and lhe industry. ln the first project, 1979-1983, a motorspindle with
active magnetic bearings had been developed and its application on high
speed milling of aluminum alloys had been investigated. ln lhe second
one, 1984-1988, "high speed milling of lerrous and non-ferrous materiais",
in which 41 companies participated, the research not only concentrates on
the hsc-technology but also deeply in hsc-tools, machine tools and their
main components, hsc-processing, efficiency and application. The results
were published in lhe book by H. Schulz /72/.
