Improvement of surface flatness in high precision milling

The use of high precision micro components has increased in various industrial fields in recent years. Repeatable techniques are needed to face very tight tolerances and make micro fabrication processes industrially feasible against current micro machining limitation. Improving surface flatness in high precision milling is the main target of the present research. Critical issues such as machining strategy, spindle thermal transient management and tool wear compensation were considered for machining operations on a representative part.
