The finishing process for die is an important process because it has influence on final quality of products. Recently s study on development of 5-axis die automated finishing machine has been progressed. But die must be moved from the cutting machine to the die automated finishing machine. So manufacturing cost and time increase and machining error occurs by transfer. So, in this study, a 3-axis machining center was applied to die finishing. Because cutting tool can be changed to finishing tool by ATC, both of cutting and finishing process are possible on the machine. However, this application results in the decrease of finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. So this study focused on the generation of finishing tool path suitable to 3-axis die finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. The form accuracy evaluation is performed by the measurement of removal depth using a stylus profilometer. From the result, it is confirmed that form accuracy was improved less than 2$\mu$m of removal depth error.

Mass reduction of the machine tool movable parts is a tool for achieving lower energy demands of the machine tool operation. The realization of lightweight design in machine tool can be achieved by structural lightweight design and material lightweight design. In this study, topology optimization strategy was applied to design optimized structures of movable parts of 5 axis machining center. The weight of ram which has most significant influence on the stiffness of whole machine tool was reduced without stiffness deterioration. The redesigned optimized ram has 24.2% less weight while maintaining the same displacement caused by cutting force.

An integrated machining center is developed for high precision and productivity manufacturing. The developed machine is composed of the high precision spindle using ball bearings, the high stiffness bed and the three axis CNC controller with the high resolution AC servo motor. In this paper, structural and modal analysis for the developed machine are carried out to check the design criteria of machine. The analysis is carried out by FEM simulation with using the commercial software, CATIA V5, ANSYS and ARMD. The simulation model of machine is made by shell and solid finite elements. This study also presents the measurement system on the modal analysis of an integrated machining center. The weak part of the machine is found by the analytical evaluation. The results provide with the structural modification data for good dynamic behaviors. And the safety of machine is confirmed by the modal analysis of modified machine design. As this study results can be trustworthy with the analysis of ANSYS and CATIA, integrated machining center can be successfully developed.

Recently, the demand for precision machining through multi-axis machining has been greatly increased. However, it is difficult to evaluate the geometrical accuracy of the machine tool because of its complicated geometric relationship. In this study, we organized the KS/ISO specifications which are distributed in various regulations, and re-organized the geometrical precision evaluation items of multi-axis machine tools. In addition, a test workpiece was proposed to evaluate and analyze the accuracy of a multi-axis machine tool, and a test workpiece was machined according to predetermined methods and procedures, and then the machined surfaces were measured using CMM. As a result, it was verified that the machining results of the standard workpiece and the precision of the machine tool were very similar qualitatively and quantitatively. From these results, it can be confirmed that the precision analysis of the multi-axis machine tool is possible only by machining the test workpiece.

As the demand for high speed and high precision increases in the field of machine tool, interest in stiffness and vibration of machine tool is increasing. However, it takes a lot of time to develop a detailed design of machine tool based on experience, and it is difficult to design appropriately. Recently, structural optimization using FEM are increasingly used in machine tool design. But, it is difficult to optimize in consideration of the vibration state of the structure since optimization through stress distribution of a structure is mainly used, In this paper, Static structural analysis, mode analysis, and harmonic analysis using FEM were conducted to optimize the head structure that has the most influence on machining in a 5-axis machine tool. It is proposed a topology optimization analysis method that considers both static stiffness and dynamic stiffness using objective function design.

Polishing a die that has free-form surfaces is a time-consuming and tedious job, and requires a considerable amount of high-precision skill. In order to reduce the polishing time and cope with the shortage of skilled workers, an automatic polishing robot system was developed. The polishing robot system is composed of two subsystems, a three-axis machining center and a two-axis polishing head. The machining center is controlled by a FANUC controller, and the polishing head by DSP controller. The system has five degrees of freedom and is able to keep the polishing tool normal to the die surface during operation. To easily operate the developed polishing robot system, this study developed an integrated operating program in the Windows environment. The program consists of five modules: a polishing data generation module, a code separation module, a polishing module, a graphic simulator module, and a teaching module. Also, the automatic teaching system was developed to easily obtain teaching data and it consists of a three dimensional joystick and a proximity sensor. Also, to evaluate the performance of the integrated operating program and the polishing robot system, polishing experiments of a die of shadow mask were carried out.
