In order to suggest the proper optimal conditions of the CNC milling machining for the Thin-wall surface, some experiments were carried out. The process was applied in the aerospace industry for the machining of light alloys, notably aluminium. In recent year, however, the mold and die industry has begun to use the technology for the production of components, including those manufactured from hardened tool steels. And the end mill is an important tool in the milling process. A typical example for the end mill is the milling of pocket and slot in which a lot of material is removed from the workpiece. Therefore the proper selection of cutting parameter for end milling is one of the important factors affecting the cutting cost. In this paper, we choose the optimal parameters(cutting forces) to cut thin-walled Al part by experiment.

Because of the development in mold industries, the geometrical form accuracy of the milled surface is getting more and more important. It has been known that the geometrical form accuracy is affected by machine conditions, cutting conditions, tool conditions and tool path and so on. Among them, the tool approaching path causes the change in material removal per tooth at the end of each machining cycle. And, this change generates the geometrical form error around the region where the tool engages the workpiece initially. So, it is impossible to eliminate the geometrical error caused by the tool approaching path. Thus, characteristics of this geometrical error are studied analytically and experimentally to minimize this region.

Verification of tool collision is an important issue in die and mold machining. In this paper three functions of verification are schematically explained based on Z-Map model. The first function is getting a collision-free region when a tool assembly and a part surface model are given. The second function estimates the shortest length of cutter shank with that the tool cuts all of a region without collision. The last one is cutting simulation considering all parts of tool assembly as well as cutter blade. Those functions can be easily implemented by using several basic operators of Z-Map model which are explained also. Proposed approaches have enough accuracy to verify collision in reasonable computing time.

By the specific character of femtosecond laser controlled volume of magnitude of micrometer scale could be ablated without melting phase in SKD11 and SUS304. According to the laser machining parameters various sectional shapes could be engraved on the surface of metals. Typical engraved lines were $10{\mu}m$ wide and deep. Coarse-milled surface was made $10{\mu}m$ lower than the original elevation by a bunch of laser-engraved lines in suitable spacing. The repeated banks with a height of $10{\mu}m$ could be made with the combination of the intact area.

Verification of tool collision Is an important issue in die and mold machining. In this paper three functions of verification for 3-axis milling machining are schematically explained. Operators of geometric models are explained at first, which will be used in the functions of verification. The first verification function is getting a collision-free region when a tool assembly and a part surface model are given. The second function estimates the shortest length of cutter shank with that the tool cuts all of a region without collision The last one is cutting simulation considering all parts of tool assembly as well as cutter blade. Proposed approaches can be easily implemented by using several basic operators of geometric model. An example to calculate collision-free region is presented also.

This paper reports some experimental results on the machining performance of ground & non-ground milling inserts. Five kinds of milling inserts were manufactured without grinding process and one milling insert was manufactured with grinding process. Machining experiments were carried out to compare the performance of ground & non-ground inserts. This experimental result indicate that tool wear, cutting force and surface roughness of the each tool. From the result five milling inserts that have non-grinding process and one milling insret that have grinding process compared appear.

For a 2-dimensional(2D) vibration milling, an excitation work-table was developed using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged, where the trochoidal trajectory of a milling tool is combined with 2 dimensional elliptical vibration of a work-table. Applying 3kHz excitation frequency and 7~8mm amplitude of vibration to micro milling process with brass and nickel materials, the roughness in both bottom and side surface is much more improved compared to the surface by conventional milling process, which is attributed to decreased frictional force, increased cutting speed, and rubbing effect of a 2 dimensional vibration.

In this paper, the high speed milling characteristics of Al6061 was studied. A gantry type milling & tapping center was developed for this study. The cutting force and the resulting surface roughness were measured at various cutting conditions. The experimental results indicate that the surface roughness is relative to the cutting conditions.

A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear motion. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current roll forming process is substituted with the milling cutter process. Since the milling cutter process enables the integration of all machining operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. The tooling system for side milling cutter on the CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the runout of spindle and cutting tips are important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms because the tooling system has multiple tips. In this study, surface roughness variations accuracy according to runout was investigated in side milling cutter for worm screw. The result shows by simulation and experiment.

This paper provides an experimental analysis on the breakage of the coated tool using the face-milling cutter of the machining center due to changes in the cutting speed and the feed rate. The experimental studies were conducted using STS 304 materials and the damage to the tool was analyzed according to the change in machining time. The experiments confirmed that the cutting speed and feed rate affected the tool damage and the mechanical impact and thermal shock were determined to severely damage the tool. From the production engineering point of view, it has been experimentally investigated that the increased feed rate significantly influences the material removal rate more than the increased cutting speed.
