Manufacturing improvements in terms of manufacturing-chain costs and times reduction are becoming a real need in the industry, especially for roughing operations. To satisfy these industrial requirements, more efficient machining processes have been developed, such as High Efficiency Milling (HEM). According to the above mentioned direction, trochoidal milling appears as an efficient method for roughing operations of full slots. This work presents an analysis in terms of production time between conventional, plunge and trochoidal milling to determine which process configuration is more productive.
