For precise micro-grooving and surface machining, a mechanism for creating elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) motion is proposed which uses two parallel piezoelectric actuators. And based on its kinematical analysis, variations of EVC path are investigated as a function of dimensional changes in the mechanism, phase difference and amplitude of excitation sinusoidal voltages. Using the proposed PZT mechanism, various types of two dimensional EVC paths including one dimensional vibration cutting path along the cutting direction and thrust direction can be easily obtained by changing the phase lag, the amplitude of the piezoelectric actuators, and the dimension of the mechanism.

Inclined surface milling in the mould and die industries is one of the most commonly needed cutting process. For the variety and complexity of cutting characteristics in various cutting condition, it is difficult to select a optimal tool path orientation. Especially, when the cutting process becomes unstable, it induces self-exited vibrations, a frequent cause of poor tool life, rough surface finish, damage to the workpiece and the machine tool itself, and excessive down time. The comparative results through FFT analysis in this study provide a guideline for the selection tool path orientation.

There are lots of factors that are related to the geometric characteristics of machined surface. Among them, the tool path and milling mode (up cut milling or down cut milling) are the easiest controllable machining conditions. Thus, the first objective of this research is to study the effects of them on the milled surface that is generated by an end milling tool. To get precision parts, not only the machining process but also the measurement of geometric tolerance is important. But, this measurement requires a lot of time, because the infinite surface points must be measured in the ideal case. So, the second objective is to propose a simple flatness measurement method that can be available instead of the 3-D geometric tolerance measurement method, using a scale factor and characterized points. Finally, it is also shown that the possibility of flatness improvement by shifting the consecutive fine cutting tool path as compared with the last rough cutting tool path.

현재 가공시스템은 생산성 향상을 위해 다방면에 걸쳐 자동화가 시도되고 있고, 한 걸음 더 나아가서 무인화가 추구되고 있다. 이런 상황에서 자동화와 무인화의 효과를 극대화하기 위해 가공공정의 고속화, 즉 주축시스템과 이송시스템의 고속화서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고속가공의 특징으로는 비절삭 시간의 절약과 절삭시간의 단축을 들 수 있는데 , 구조적으로도 큰 영향을 미쳐서 작은 절삭력의 발생으로 인해 구조물이 고강성화에서 저강성화로 변화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속주축 Housing의 열전달 경로를 관찰하고 열변 위의 양상을 파악해서 전. 후부 베어링의 열발생량 차이에서 오는 주축심의 각변위 억제대책을 제시하고, 주축 Housing의 조립용 기준 핀을 Housing의 Z축방향 열변위가 최소가 되도록 위치를 결정하였다.

This paper presents the effects of the tool shape on the geometrical characteristics of flat end-milled side walls. A tool shape is characterized by such parameters as helix angle, number of cutting edges, and diameter. The geometrical characteristics of the side walls are represented by the surface profiles in the feed and axial directions, which are orthogonal to each other. The geometrical defects in each direction are estimated based on the instantaneous apparent cutting areas, which are represented by the interference area between the tool and workpiece and that between the cutting edge and workpiece. It is confirmed that a geometrical defect in the feed direction is formed when the tool leaves the workpiece and the curvature of the tool path changes. Defects in the axial direction are also found in the side walls, except for the defect zone in the feed direction. An up-cut using an end-mill with a steeper helix angle, a greater number of cutting edges, and a smaller diameter are thus found to improve the geometrical accuracy of end-milled side walls.

Waterjet has been comprehensively used in urban areas owing to a suitable technique for cutting concrete and rock, and low noise and vibration. Recently, the abrasive waterjet technique has been adopted and applied by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute to demolish concrete plugging without disturbing and damaging In-situ Demonstration of Engineered Barrier System in the disposal research tunnel. In this study, the use of abrasive waterjet in the tunnel was evaluated for practical applicability and the existing cutting model was compared with the experimental results. As a variable for waterjet cutting, multi-cutting, water flow rate, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance were selected for the diversity of analysis. As regarding the practical application, the waterjet facilitated path selection for cutting the concrete plugging and prevented additional disturbances in the periphery. The pump's noise at idling was 64.9 dB which is satisfied with the noise regulatory standard, but it exceeded the standard at ejection to air and target concrete because the experiment was performed in the tunnel space. The experimental result showed that the error between the predicted and measured cutting volume was 12~13% for the first cut and 16% for second cut. The standoff distance had a significant influence on the cutting depth and width, and the error tended to decrease with decrement of standoff distance.

A novel and efficient cutter path planning method for machining intricately shaped curved surfaces, called the steepest directed tree method, is presented. The curved surface is defined by triangular facets, the density and structure of which are determined by the intricacy and form accuracy of the surface. Geometrical form definition and recognition of the topological features are used to connect the nodes of the triangulated surface meshes for the successive and interconnected steepest pathways, which makes good use of end milling characteristics. The planetary cutter centers are determined to locate along smoothly changing paths and then the height values of the cutter are adjusted to avoid surface interference. Several machined examples of intersecting and intricate surfaces are presented to illustrate the benefits of the new approach. It is shown that due to more consistent geometry matching between cutter and surface(in comparison with the current CC Cartesian method) surface finish can be typically improved. Moreover, the material in concave fillets which is difficult to be removed by ball mills can be removed efficiently. The built-in positioning of cutter to avoid interference runs minutely in the sharp and discontinuous regions. The steepest upward movement of the cutter gives a stable dynamic cutting state and allows increase in the feedrate and spindle speed while remaining the stable cutting state.

Productivity improvement and cost reduction in the aircraft industry have become major industrial objectives, and improving productivity by reducing machining time has become a key focus. When numerical cutting code is created by CAM software, such as CATIA or UG-NX, it is impossible to control machining feed speed using cutting force changes depending on the machining tool path. However, machining an aircraft engine part from difficult material, such as Inconel 718, takes a long time, and tool chipping or breakage often occurs from forcing the machining path too quickly. This study investigated and verified the reliability of the AdvantEdge production module (PM)using cutting power tests. In particular, diffuser and diffuser case parts were considered, comparing cutting power and machining time using AdvantEdge PM and CATIA.
