This paper presents a machining error compensation methodology due to deflection of micro cutting tools in side cutting processes. Generally in order to compensate for tool deflection errors it is necessary to carry out a series of simulations, cutting force prediction, tool deflection estimation and compensation method. These can induce numerous calculations and expensive costs. This study proposes an improved approach which can compensate for machining errors without simulation processes concerning prediction of cutting force and tool deflection. Based on SEM images of test cutting specimens, polynomial relationships between machining errors and corrected tool positions were induced. Taking into account changes of cutting conditions caused by tool position variation, an iterative algorithm was applied in order to determine corrected tool position. Experimental works were carried out to validate the proposed approach. Comparing machining errors of nominal cutting with those of compensated cutting, overall machining errors could be remarkably reduced.

초정밀 폴리곤미러 가공기의 공작물 장착용 치구를 설계하기 위해서는 공작기계와 공작물의 변 형요인의 분석이 필요하고 특히 공작물의 및 고정력의 크기에 따른 변형도 고려해야 하며 가공에 의한 열적변형까지를 포함한 변형을 최소화하는 최적설계가 이루어져야 한다. 또한 치구자체가 다양한 제품과 수량을 장착할 수 있으며 동시에 경제성을 갖는 구조가 되어야 할 것이며 이 분야에 대한 깊은 연구가 요망된다.참고로 추후 더욱 연구가 필요한 초정밀가공기의 치공구 시스템의 구성분야를 종합해 보면 표 6과 같다.

공작기계의 가공정밀도는 공구와 공작물간의 상대변위 크기로서 평가되는데, 이 상대변위는 가공중에 발생 하는 절삭력이 공구-척-주축-기계구조물-안내면-가공테이블-공작물로 이어지는 하중전달 폐곡선을 흐르면서 경로상의 정적, 동적 취약부의 주된 영향을 받아 생기거나 각 요소부품의 변형이 누적되어 생겨난다. 본 연구에서는 주축의 취약부를 규명하기 위하여 정적으로는 정적 처짐곡선을 이용하고, 동적으로는 진동모우드의 굽힘곡선을 이용하여 주축선단의 처짐에 가장 영향을 많이주는 부위를 파악하였다. 취약부의 개선방법으로는 주축지름을 변화시켜 주축선단 근처에서 굽힘이 집중되지 않도록 유도하였다. 그리고 구조개선의 효과를 확인 하기 위해서 기존 주축시스템과 개선 주축시스템의 정적, 동적 특성변화를 비교하였다.

Ball-end milling process is widely used in the die and mold manufacturing because of suitable for the machining of free-form surface. Pencil cutting can eliminate overload in uncut area caused by large diameter of ball-end mill before finish cutting. As the ball-end mill for pencil cutting is long and thin, it is easily deflected by cutting force. The tool deflection when pencil cutting is one of the main reason of the machining errors on a free-from surface. The purpose of the research is to find out the characteristics of deflected cutter trajectory by eddy-current sensor.

Micro end-milling has been becoming an important machining process to manufacture a number of small products such as micro-devices, bio-chips, micro-patterns and so on. Many related researches have given grand effects to micro end-milling phenomenon, for example, micro end-milling mechanism, cutting force modeling and machinability. This paper strongly concerned actual problem, micro tool deflection, which causes excessive machining errors on the workpiece. Machining error were predicted and measured through a series of test micro cutting and analysis of their SEM images and FEM analysis. Experiments are carried out to validate the approaches.

A new measuring method for tool deflection has been developed when sculptured surface is processed in ball-end milling. Since the vibration due to cutting forces has low frequencies, an electromagnetic sensor is used for measuring the exact vibration displacement. The amplitude and direction of vibration displacement during the cutting process is presented as orbital plot. In this study, it assumes that the vibration displacement is proportional to the length of cutting chip. Therefore, tool deflection is calculated by summing up the vibration displacement of unit chip length for engaged chip length. In addition, computer programs has been developed to predict the deflection of tools when machining sculptured surface. This developed program predicts the tool deflection per block of NC data, so that it can easily identify the parts which have the possibility of machining errors.

Investigated is the relationship between tool deflection and geometrical accuracy in side wall machining. Form error is predicted directly from the tool deflection without surface generation. Developed model can predict the surface form error about three hundred times faster than the previous method. Cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering tool geometry, tool setting error, and machine tool stiffness. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up milling and down milling are discussed. The usefulness of the presented method is verified from a set of experiments under various cutting conditions generally used in die and mold manufacture. This study contributes to real time surface shape estimation and cutting process planning for the improvement of geometrical accuracy.

Machining accuracy is closely related with tool deflection induced by cutting forces. In this research, cutting forces and tool deflection in end milling are expressed as a closed form of tool rotational angle and cutting conditions. The discrete cutting fores caused by periodic tool entry and exit are represented as a continuous function using the Fourier series expansion. Tool deflection is predicted by direct integration of the distributed loads on cutting edges. Cutting conditions, tool geometry, run-outs and the stiffness of tool clamping part are considered together far cutting forces and tool deflection estimation. Compared with numerical methods, the presented method has advantages in prediction time reduction and the effects of feeding and run-outs on cutting forces and tool deflection can be analyzed quantitatively. This research can be effectively used in real time machining error estimation and cutting condition selection for error minimization since the form accuracy is easily predicted from tool deflection curve.

This paper presents a prediction of tool deflection and resulting machining error fur sculptured surface productions in the ball-end milling process. Due to the different materials and the dimensions of the tool holder and cutter, a cantilever hem model with three uniform sections is proposed fur the tool deflection model. The ability of this model has been verified by a machining experiment. In this study, cutting force and machining error are investigated. This paper provides the prediction of machining error for sculptured surface to improve machining quality for industrial application.
