근래에 들어, 금형생산 시간의 단축과 고정밀도의 제품을 생산하기 위해 실가공전의 설계단계에서 금형 데이터를 수치적으로 검증할 필요가 높아지고 있다. 기존의 저가형 CAM시스템에서 사용된 경로표시법으 로는 이러한 검증이 불가능하기 때문에 새로운 방법의 도입이 필요하며 모의가공 형상의 표현에서도 비매 개변수형 곡면을 이영하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 3축 금형가곡에 사용되는 볼앤드밀, 평 엔드밀 공구에 대해 Z-map을 기반으로 절삭부위를 비매개변수형 곡면으로 모델링하여 모의가공을 수행하 고자 한다. 또한, 새로운 backeting영역지정 방법을 사용하여 모의가공의 효율을 높였다.

일반적인 CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용해서 생성한 NC-code는 오류의 가능성의 항시 내포되어 있으므로, 실 가공하기 전에 NC-code의 불량 여부를 검사할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Z-map 형태의 계산모형을 이용한 모의가공의 계산방법을 볼엔드밀, 평엔드밀, 라운드엔드밀에 대해서 도식적으로 설명하였다. 또, 모의가공 된 형상만으로 NC-code의 불량 여부를 검사하는 자체적인 검사방법과 모의가공 된 형상과 설계형상을 비교해서 불량여부를 판별하는 비교 검사방법을 제시하였다. Z-am 모델을 모의가공과 가공형상의 검증에 사용하면, 빠른 속도로 실제가공 상황을 재현 할 수 있고 육안 검증을 포함한 다양한 수치적 검증이 가능하다. 또, 간단한 데이터 구조이므로 필요한 앨고리즘을 효율적이고, 로버스트하게 구현할 수 있다.

Powder metallurgy(P/M) process has been used for the production of high performance high-speed steels. P/M high speed steel has more uniform and fine microstructure than those of conventional wrought products. Therefore, it offers distinct advantages over conventional tool steels. The superior uniformity of composition and fine microstrucure lead to excellent toughness and less distortion during heat treatment, which in turn can reduce total grinding costs and provides other benefits, such as uniform hardness and increased tool life. From these reasons, milling, hole machining, broaching, and gear manufacturing tools are major applications of P/M high-speed steels. In this research, we evaluated tool wear of flat endmill which is made of P/M high-speed steel from the view point of cutting tool performance.

In this paper, optimal cutting condition to minimize the form error in side wall machining with a flat end mill is studied. Cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering surface shape generated by the previous cutting such as roughing. Using the form error prediction method from tool deflection, optimal cutting condition considering form accuracy is investigated. Also, the effects of tool teeth number, tool geometry and cutting conditions on form error are analyzed. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up and down milling are discussed and over-cut free condition in up milling is presented. Form error reduction method through successive up and down milling is also suggested. The effectiveness and usefulness of the presented method are verified from a series of cutting experiments under various cutting conditions. It is confirmed that form error prediction from tool deflection in side wall machining can be used in optimal cutting condition selection and real time surface error simulation for CAD/CAM systems. This study also contributes to cutting process optimization for the improvement of form accuracy especially in precision die and mold manufacturing.

The main purpose of this study strongly concerned micro machining error estimation by using FEM analysis of tool deflection shapes in micro flat end-milling process. For the precision micro flat end-milling process, analysis of micro cutting errors is mandatory. In general, tool deflection is a major factor which causes cutting error and limits realization of the high-precision cutting process. Especially, in micro end-milling process, micro tool deflection generates very serious problems in contrast to macro tool deflection. Methods which deal with compensation of cutting error by tool deflection in macro end-milling process have been studied plentifully but, few researches transact with micro scaled cutting tool deflection in micro cutting process. Therefore, the trend of micro tool deflection was estimated by using FEM analysis in this paper. Cutting forces were acquired by micro dynamometer and these were utilized in FEM analysis. In order to verify FEM analysis results, micro machining processes were carried out and real machined profiles were compared with FEM results. Finally through the proposed approach well suited FEM results were obtained.

This paper presents precision machining of sculptured surfaces with a flat end cutter as follows; tool path generation using partition machining method and elimination interference. These days many researchers are getting interested in flat end cutter having a good cutting performance as machine tool for machining sculptured surfaces. It can get low curvature surfaces and have a much better material removal rates and longer tool life. Partition machining method is the first submitted in this paper. It is a new method of tool path generation, which means the way to map surfaces under the normal vector and then to cut them partially.

The high speed machining center(HMC) has been widely applied to manufacture a die and trial product in many machine industry. Because the evaluation fer the HMC is not sufficiently performed and the efficient cutting conditions aren't selected, a great loss has been caused in the cost aspect. In this study, the need of preliminary running time and unstable spindle speed is presented from the analysis of acceleration in idling. The Machinability fur the TiAlN coated flat end mill and STD11( $H_{R}$C60) is evaluated from the trends of tool wear and cutting force according to cutting conditions and slenderness ratio and a low response of tool dynamometer in high speed is proved. The resonance spindle speed is identified through the tool wear and natural frequency test.t.

In this study, the effect of the helix angle and rake angle of a flat end-mill in the milling of titanium alloy was investigated. Tool shape parameters such as helix angle and rake angle affect the cutting force, cutting zone temperature, vibration, and chip flow mechanism, which in turn determine tool life, surface integrity, and dimensional accuracy of the milling process. To investigate the effect of the helix and rake angles, a certain range of parameters was selected, and three-dimensional tool models were generated for finite element analysis (FEA) for each case. The cutting force and pressure on the tool flank face and rake face were investigated by FEA. Further, several tool models were proposed for machining tests. The cutting force characteristics were investigated by the machining tests.

It is presented in this study a new efficient intelligent machining strategy, which can be used to remove the uncut volume at the boundary region of curved surfaces caused by cutter interference. The geometric form definitions and recognition of topological features of the surface triangulation mesh are used to generate cutter paths along successive and interconnected steepest pathways, that minimize the cusp height left after flat end milling. In order to machine the uncut volume gradually, the z-map cutter centers are adjusted to avoid cutter interference for the 6 kinds of avoidance types. And then, the generative subsequent paths are sequenced to determine the second step cutter paths for the next uncut volume. For the 2 kinds of test models with convex and concave surface region, the implemented software algorithm is evaluated by investigating the residual swelling of uncut volume for each machining step.

Recently, the operation of precision pocket machining has been studied for the high speed and accuracy in industry to increase production and quality. Moreover, the demand for products with complex 3D free-curved surface shapes has increasing rapidly in the development of computer systems, CNC machining, and CAM software in various manufacturing fields, especially in automotive engineering. The type of aluminum (Al6061) that is widely used in aerospace fields was used in this study, and end-mill down cutting was conducted in fillet cutting at a corner with end-mill tools for various process conditions. The experimental results may demonstrate that the end mill cutter with four blades is more advantageous than that of the two blades on shape forming in the same condition precise machining conditions. It was also found that cutting forces and tool deformation increased as the cutting speed increased. When the tool was located at $45^{\circ}$ (four locations), the corner was found to conduct the maximum cutting force rather than the start point of the workpiece. The experimental research is expected to increase efficiency when the economical precision machining methods are required for various cutting conditions in industry.
