The second-generation magnetic abrasive polishing is one of the nontraditional machining technologies newly developed. Because of the flexibility effect in magnetic abrasive polishing, the precise and mirror like surface can be obtained during this process. In this study, magnetic abrasive polishing process was applied in small grooved surface. As a result, it was seen that the flexible magnetic abrasive tool was effective to remove burrs on the edge of the groove. However, the efficiency of magnetic abrasive polishing at the slot was very low according to increasing depth and width of slot. So, correlation between geometric parameters, such as the depth and width, and surface roughness was evaluated and the minimum width for suitable polishing was found by experimental results.

the quality of a TV is closely connected with the high quality surface of Braun tube. To get high quality surface an improved grinding system is needed. It has three main parts : the housing part of supporting frame the outershaft part rotat-ed by motor and the innershaft part having eccentricity from the rotation axis of the outershaft. the housing part and the outershaft part are connected by outerbearings, The outershaft part and the innershaft part are connected by innerbearings. Although the outershaft part is rotated at high-speed the innershaft part is not rotated by offset coupling. The high quality grinding surface can be obtained by this mechanism of panel surface grinder, Because the innershaft is unbalanced by eccentricity from rotation axis of outershaft the unbalancing vibration is resulted In this rotor system with high-speed rota-tion the unbalancing vibration makes the opertion unstable. In this research the transfer function is obtained bythe frequency response analysis of finite element model. The simu-lation result is proved by comparing with the experimental result measured by signal analyzer Then the results are corre-lated. in order to improve the design an optimization method is used instead of two-planes balancing method The parts of the 3-dimensional panel surface grinder satisfy the each constraint, The result shows that the design of the panel surface grinder can be optimized.

3차원 자유곡면을 볼엔드밀을 사용하여 금형가공을 할 경우, 가공면에는 공구경로에 따른 흔적과 NC공작기계의 직선보간시 발생되는 가공오차에 의하여 공작물 상에 가공오차가 필연적으로 발생되게 된다. 따라서 공작기계상에 서 금형가공을 수행한 후에는 가공오차를 제거하고 금형의 표면을 매끄럽게 하기위하여 연마작업이 픽수적으로 요구 되고있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 자유곡면으로 이루어진 금형의 연마가공에 로봇을 도입하고, 이를 위한 로봇 작업단의 경로 제어시비전문가라 할지라도 CAM시스템으로 부터 금형 가공용 NC공작기계의 공구경로데이타(Cutter Location Data)를 받으면 자유곡면을 모형화한 후 자유곡면의 법선벡터와 연마로봇 작업단의 위치벡터를 자동으로 생성하고, 그에 따른 로봇의 작업명령을 자동으로 생성할 수 있는 CAMPoli 오프라인 로봇 프로그래밍 시스템을 개발하였다. CAMPoli시스템은 마이크로소프트사의 WINDOWS/386 오퍼레이팅 시스템을 이용하여 IBM-PC/386 상에서 개발되었으며 그주요한 내용들은 다음과 같다. i) CAM시스템으로 부터 입력된 CL-데이타로부터 연마면에 대한 자유곡면을 생성하고, ii) 연마공정의 데이타베이스에 기초한 연마면수의 지정 및 변경을 수행하고, iii) 자유곡면 연마를 위한 로봇 작업단의 위치벡터와 법선벡터를 계산하고, iv) 기존의 로봇언어를 이용한 오프라인 소스프로그램(Source Program)을 생성 및 그래픽 시뮬레이션 하는 과정으로 구축되었다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of polishing techniques on surface roughness of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), as well as the influence of light-cured surface glaze and subsequent brushing on surface roughness. Materials and methods: A total of 60 PMMA specimens ($10{\times}10{\times}5\;mm$) were made and then divided into 6 groups of 10 each according to the polymerization methods (under pressure or atmosphere) and the surface polishing methods (mechanical or chemical polishing) including 2 control groups. The mechanical polishing was performed with the carbide denture bur, rubber points and then pumice and lathe wheel. The chemical polishing was performed by applying a light-cured surface glaze ($Plaquit^{(R)}$; Dreve-Dentamid GmbH). Accura $2000^{(R)}$, a non-contact, non-destructive, optical 3-dimensional surface analysis system, was used to measure the surface roughness (Ra) and 3-dimensional images were acquired. The surface roughness was again measured after ultrasonic tooth brushing in order to evaluate the influence of brushing on the surface roughness. The statistical analysis was performed with Mann-Whitney test and t-test using a 95% level of confidence. Results: The chemically polished group showed a statistically lower mean surface roughness in comparison to the mechanically polished group (P = .0045) and the specimens polymerized under the atmospheric pressure presented a more significant difference (P = .0138). After brushing, all of the groups, except the mechanically polished group, presented rougher surfaces and showed no statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusion: Although the surface roughness increased after brushing, the chemical polishing technique presented an improved surface condition in comparison to the mechanical polishing technique.
