In this study, a method is proposed for the cutting force prediction of Ball-end milling process using Z-map is proposed. Any types of cutting area generated from previous cutting process can be expressed in z-map data. Cutting edge of a ball-end mill is divided into a set of finite cutting edges and the position of this edge is projected to the cross-section plane normal to the Z-axis. Comparing this projected position with Z-map data of cutting area and determining whether it is in the cutting region, total cutting force can be calculated by means of numerical integration. A series of experiments such as side cutting and upward/downard cutting was performet to verify the simulated cutting force.

This research suggests a cutting force model for the ball end milling processes. This model includes the effect of tool run out and tool deflection. In the proposed model, the flutes of ball end mills are considered as series of infinitesimal elements and each cutting edge is assumed to be straight for the analysis of the oblique cutting process, in which the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as an orthogonal cutting process n the plane including the cutting velocity and the chip-flow vector. Therefor, the cutting forces can be calculated through the model using the orthogonal cutting data obtained from the orthogonal cutting test. In order to enhance the performance of the model, the flutes of ball end mill are defined to keep geometric consistency at the peak of the ball part and the junction with the end mill part. The divided infinitesimal cutting edges are regulated to be even lengths. Some experiments show the validity of the developed model in the various cutting coalitions.

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.

연삭가공은 나노스케일(Nano-scale)의 미소한 입자 절삭날을 이용한 가공으로, 공작물의 표면을 경면(Mirror surface)으로 가공할 수 있어 제품의 최종 마무리공정으로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 연삭공정에 있어서는 공구(연삭숫돌)의 수명이 다하거나 가공계(Machining system)가 불안정해지면 채터진동과 연삭버닝 등의 현상이 발생하여 가공물의 표면품위를 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 원통플른지 연삭공정을 대상으로 공작물에서 발생하는 음향방출 신호와 연삭기 주축 모터의 동력 신호를 연삭가공 중에 검출하고, 이를 신경회로망에 적용하여 연삭가공 상태를 진단하는 시스템을 구축하고, 그 성능을 평가하였다.
