The procedure on the design of a new tungsten cabide throw-away cutting tool system for deep grooving or cut-off machining is suggested. For relieving the maximum stress level at the corner radius of the blade holder, the finite element method is used. Also the pulling test device is proposed for measuring the holding force of the insert between the blade holder and the insert considering the materials in contact and configuration parameters of the holder.

In this paper, we propose unique CAM system for personal computer that can define the geometric shape in an ease manner and to machine the sculptured surfaces of a mold cavity. In this CAM system, if a user inputs simple initial information such as the control points for a shape definition and a radius of tool etc., all of the procedures for machining will be processed automatically by the CAM system as well as NC commands and simulations. In addition to this, the environment of the CAM system is composed of "C" language for an easy extention of aditional modules. Also, the CAM system with the following characteristics was developed. 1. The optimum tool path satisfying given tolerance limits reduces the time for the high precision machining of sculptured surface in a mold cavity. 2. The generated NC commands can be transmitted to NC directly by the CAM system through RS-232C from PC.C from PC.

This paper presents a study on the improvement of the machining quality of sculptured-surfaces of molds according to the shape and posture of the tool. In the existing 3-axis machining, the methods using the ball end-mill and radius end-mill were analyzed for various cutting patterns and compared with those of the 5-axis machining. It was observed that the 5-axis machining using a ball end-mill obtained the finest surface roughness, and for the 3-axis machining, the optimal results were obtained for the one-way machining using a radius end-mill.

Assembly process data can be gathered in real time in a manufacturing execution system (MES) server using proximity sensors, barcodes, RFID, ZigBee, Bluetooth, wireless sensor networks, etc. Although this is suitable for identifying process flow and checking production progress, it is difficult to trace the location of individual workers in real time for missing work or trajectories within the work area. To overcome this, the location and trajectory of the working tool can be analyzed in real time through a position tracking system of an operator's working tool. It can instruct the operator to perform a consistent working process. Productivity and quality improvement can be achieved by an alarming or blocking operator with possible assembly defects during the assembly process in real time. To this end, we developed a real-time tool position-tracking sensor system based on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) trilateration using a Kalman filter to eliminate mechanical vibration and radio communication noise.

An effective die-polishing robot system is developed. ATC (Automatic Tool Change), tool posture angle control, and robot program for polishing application are developed and integrated into a robotic system that consists of a robot, pneumatic grinding tool, and grinding abrasives (papers and special films). ATC is specifically designed to exchange whole grinding tool set for complete unmanned operation. A tool posture angle control system is developed for the tools to maintain a specified skew angle rather than right angle on the surface for best finishing results. A PC and the robot controller control ATC and tool posture angle. Also, there have been more considerations on enhancing the performance of the system. Elastic material is inserted between the grinding pad and the holder for better grinding contact. Robot path data are generated automatically from the NC data of previous machining process.

5-axis CNC machining now is getting popular because it can deal with complex shapes such as impeller, turbine blade and propeller without additional equipment or process, proving a set of various tool orientations. CAM software related to 5-axis machining is being developed quickly so that users can take advantage of potential capacities of 5-axis machine tools. However, only a few researches can be found in the area of control strategy development for 5-axis machining. This paper proposes a 5-axis cross-coupling control system based on a novel tool orientation error model. The proposed tool orientation error model provides accurate information on the tool orientation error in real time, which in turn enables directly controlling the tool orientation accuracy. The proposed control system also employs a contour error model to calculate the contour error and reflect it in the control as well. The accuracy of the proposed tool orientation error model is verified and the performance of the 5-axis cross-coupling control system in terms of both contouring and tool orientation accuracy is evaluated through computer simulations compared with existing 5-axis control systems.

In this study, we developed a micropattern technology in the shape of RFID TAG antenna using ultrasonic micropattern manufacturing system developed to enable micropattern technology. The ultrasonic tool horn in longitudinal vibration mode was installed in the micropattern manufacturing system to develop the ultrasonic press technology for the micropattern antenna shape of the RFID TAG antenna shape on the insulating sheet surface. The ultrasonic shaping technology was manufactured by applying the resonance design technique to a 60kHz tool horn, and by using the micropattern manufacturing system, the coil wire having a thickness of 25㎛ can be ultrasonically press-molded on an insulating sheet of 200㎛ or less. In ultrasonic press technology, the antenna shape having a minimum line width of 150㎛ could be molded without disconnection, peeling, or twisting of the coil wire.

The feature based modeling approach is useful for post-CAD related works such as process planning and NC part programming. This paper describes the development of 'FeaTURN' system which is feature based NC part programming system for turning operation. The programming task in 'FeaTURN' system becomes easy and effective with the assistance of feature icons. The manufacturing attributes can be handled toghther with the features during input procedure. The cutter location data (CLD) is determined by the processor module. The post process module converts the CL data to machine control data (MCD). Also, the system graphically displays the tool path.

Die finishing (polishing and lapping) after NC machining is characterized as one bottleneck process for reducing lead time. For automation of this typical manual work, a flexible polishing tool system using industrial robot has been developed. This tool system has three principal functions in order to achieve reduction of waviness, 3 D.O.F. compliance and constant pressure structure. This polishing tool shows that adaptability to free form surface is increased and programmability to various areas of die surface is also acquired.
