Direct drive linear motors have large potential for use as high speed machine tool feed units since they can increase machining rates and improve servo accuracy by eliminating gear related machining problems. So, in this paper, characteristic of 2-axis linear motor feed unit are studied and control gain are adjusted considering positioning, velocity, acceleration and static stiffness. We confirm linear motor feed unit are affected value of control gain sensitively, because drive directly. From the experiment, this feed unit has l${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ micro step resolution, 5.7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ positioning accuracy and under 60${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ circularity.

This study covers the optimum design of the 5-axis machine tool. In addition, the intelligent control secures structural stability through the optimum design of the structure of the 5-axis machine center, main spindle, and the tilting index table. The big requirement, like above, ultimately leads to speed-up operation. And this is inevitable to understand the vibration phenomenon and its related mechanical phenomenon in terms of productivity and its accuracy. In general, the productivity is correlated with the operation speed and it has become bigger by its vibration scale and the operation speed so far. Vibration phenomenon and its heat-transformation of the machine is naturally occurred during the operation. If these entire machinery phenomenons are interpreted through the constructive understanding and the interpretation of the naturally produced vibration and heat-transformation, it would be very useful to improve the rapidity and its stability of the machine operation indeed. In this dissertation, the problems of structure through heating, stability, dynamic aspect and safety about intelligent 5-wheel machine tool are discovered to examine. All these discoveries are applied to the structure in order to enhance the density of it. It aims to improve the stability.

Die-casting burr to casting process is removed by post-process for assembly and quality control of product. Though robot has been widely used for deburring job before. CNC exclusive machine is currently developed for high power, high speed machining and quick tool change. Deburring tool path with complex 3D curve type is defined to make out deburring NC program. But there is no efficient method to define it currently used methods with teaching probe on machine. In this study the efficient method to make out deburring NC program is developed. 5-axis digitizing machine is used to receive data of deburring path. And the post process for NC program generation is developed in consideration of the machining conditions. The developed system is not dependent on the skill of operator and has the advantage to maintain the flexibility of job to modify NC program due to the wear of tool and aging of the die casting.

This study proposes a path generation technique for simultaneous five-axis driving for ball bar measurement, which is equivalent to cone frustum machining as mentioned in the NAS979 standard. The technique is generalized for a 3D circular path, and it is applicable to all machine tools regardless of their structural configurations. A mathematical machine input model that consists of a five-axis machine tool, ball-bar measurement and conical path information as inputs is presented for easy NC code generation, simulation for various test conditions, and a measurement test. The movement range of rotary axes, which depends on various conditions, is mathematically analyzed based on the proposed conical path model. Moreover, the effect of the movement range on various conditions (apex angle and inclination angle, ball bar tilting acceptance angle, offset position of workpiece ball, etc.) is analyzed.

For continuous laser micro patterning on three-dimensional free form surface, innovative laser system is developed. The two axis galvanometer is combined with the dynamic focusing unit to increase optical distance. Also, it is synchronized with the 3 axis mechanical system. To determine laser machining sequence, laser CAM system is developed. It can make possible of 3D surface micro patterning under $25{\mu}m$ pattern width. The uniformity of pattern width is about 2.8% and it is validated that focal plane is well conserved by the dynamic focusing unit. Velocity and positional information of 1 axis is stage is fed to the scanner control board by the encoder signal and it makes possible real time synchronization. With this system, possible patterning volume is enlarged from $40{\times}40mm^2$ to $40{\times}120{\times}30mm^3$.

Materials used for education include SM20C, Al6061, and acrylic. SM20C materials are used a lot in certification tests and functional competitions as carbon steel, but they are also used in industrial sites. Al6061 is said to be a material that produces a lot of tools because it has lower hardness than carbon steel and is highly flexible. When practical guidance is given to students using acrylic materials, it is a material that causes vibration and tool damage due to excessive cutting. In this process, we examine how impact on the 5-axis equipment 2NC head can affect precision control. The weakest part of a five-axis equipment is the head that controls the AC axis. In the event of precision and cumulative tolerances in this area, the precision of all products is reduced. Thus, a key part of the 2NC head, the spindle housing was carried out using Al7075 T6 (U.S. Alcoasa) material and the entire body using FCD450 (spherical graphite cast iron). In the vibration and cutting process acting on these two materials, the analysis was carried out to determine the value of applying the force as a finite element analysis under extreme conditions. We hope that using these analytical data will help students see and understand the structure of 5-axis machining rather than 5-axis cutting.

The online realtime positioning error compensation system 'SKY-PACS' is developed to correct geometric errors, thermal errors and tool deflection errors induced by cutting forces on the vertical machining center. 'SKY-PACS' communicates position commands and position compensation signals with the CNC controller at 100Hz, which is CNC control frequency. So the compensation procedure can be applied during axis movement. Using 'SKY-PACS', Maximum 1 axis positioning accuracy was corrected from 5{\mu}m$ to 2{\mu}m$and the squareness error of X-Y table was corrected from 51{\mu}m$/m to below 4{\mu}m$/m. The error compensation under the cutting condition is carried out by ISO10791-7. And the measurement of test-pieces shows that the roundness is corrected rom 8{\mu}m$ to below 5{\mu}m$.

Materials used for education are materials such as SM20C, Al6061, and acrylic. SM20C materials are carbon steel and are often used in certification tests and functional competitions, but are also widely used in industrial sites. The Al6061 material is said to be a material that has lower hardness and stronger flexibility than carbon steel, so it is a material that generates a lot of compositional selection of tools. If students are taught practical training using acrylic materials, vibration occurs due to excessive cutting in some parts and damage to the tool occurs. In this process, we examine to what extent the impact on the 2NC head, which is a five-axis equipment, can affect precision control. The weakest part of the five-axis equipment can be said to be the weakest part of the head that controls the AC axis. When the accuracy and cumulative tolerance of this part occur, the accuracy of all products decreases. Therefore, the core part of the 2NC head, the spindle housing, was carried out using an Al7075 T6 (Alcoa, USA) material. In the process of vibration and cutting applied to this material, the analysis was conducted to find out the value applied to the finite element analysis under extreme conditions. It is hoped that this analysis data will help students see and understand the structure of 5-axis machining rather than 5-axis cutting.

In this paper, a neuro-contouring control scheme for the high precision machining of CNC machine tools is descrihed. The proposed control system consists of a conventional controller for each axis and an additional neuro-controller. For contouring control, the contour error must be computed during realtime motion, but generally the contour error for nonlinear contours is difficult to he directly computed. We, therefore, propose a new contour error model to approximate real error more exactly, and here we also introduce a cost function for better contouring performance and derive a learning law to adjust the weights of the neuro-controller. The derived learning law guarantees good contouring performance. Usefulness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated hy computer simulations.
