Abstract
The applications of robotics are becoming more and more
common in non-traditional industries such as the medical
industry including robotic surgery and sample microtoming as
well as food industry that include the processing of meats, fruits
and vegetables. In this paper, the influence of the blade edgeshape
and its slicing angle on the cutting of biomaterials are
formulated and discussed based on the stress analysis that has
been presented in Part I. Through modeling the cutting force, an
optimal slicing angle can be formulated to maximize the feed
rate while minimizing the cutting forces. Moreover, the method
offers a means to predict cutting forces between the blade and
the biomaterials, and a basis for design of robust force control
algorithms for automating the cutting of biomaterials.
