In this paper we present our research dealing with the problem of tool deflection during the milling. We try to compensate the errors by considering a new tool trajectory. In order to determine the compensated tool trajectory, the problem is divided in three steps : cutting forces model, tool deflection model and trajectory compensation. Starting from experimental data, we determine a cutting forces model., which allows us to anticipate the tool deflection along one nominal path. In order to determine the compensated tool trajectory, we propose in this paper a method of path compensation, called “mirror method”. This method of tool path optimization allows to minimize errors due to tool deflection. Several examples are processed in simulations and validated experimentally.
