As the consumer market in the VR(virtual reality) and the head-up display industry grows, the demand for 5-axis machines and grooving machines using on a ultra-precision machining increasing. In this paper, ultra-precision diamond tools satisfying the cutting edge width of 500 nm were developed through the process research of a focused ion beam. The material used in the experiment was a single-crystal diamond tool (SCD), and the equipment for machining the SCD used a focused ion beam. In order to reduce the influence of the Gaussian beam emitted from the focused ion beam, the lift-off process technology used in the semiconductor process was used. 2.9 ㎛ of Pt was coated on the surface of the diamond tool. The sub-micron tool with a cutting edge of 492.19 nm was manufactured through focused ion beam machining technology. Toshiba ULG-100C(H3) equipment was used to process fine-pattern using the manufactured ultra-precision diamond tool. The ultra-precision machining experiment was conducted according to the machining direction, and fine burrs were generated in the pattern in the forward direction. However, no burr occurred during reverse machining. The width of the processed pattern was 480 nm and the price of the pitch was confirmed to be 1 ㎛ As a result of machining.

As demands for being economical, precise drilling process is on the increase. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a step cutter that can be controllable through micro dimension and can be changed from separate manufacturing processes of drilling and boring into an integrated one. In order to attain this object the step cutter is designed with a 3D geometric modeling and the design could be modified easily by using parametric modeling methodology. Also, collision is not occurred during manufacturing process because of cutting simulation. The step cutter is assembled by parts made up of 5-axis machining and sintering. Validation tests are accomplished. They show that developed cutter has characteristics such as reduction of machining time as well as the good surface roughness of the machined hole. Indeed, reliability could be obtained from a durability test.

This paper describes the manufacture of spherical and aspherical surface on glass, superalloy and ceramic components. The rotationally symmetricallenses, and the ceramic or superalloy molds with spherical shapes are mainly generated by cutting processes on CNC lathe machine or 4,5 axis CNC machining centers. Recently, spherical shape parts require more precise and efficent machining technologies for wide material range such as optical lens of the lithography device in semiconductor manufacturing processes or the high precision mold machining of anti-chemical, anti-wear materials. In this paper, we introduce a newly developed infeed grinding machine with metal with metal bonded cup type wheel and its effects on spherical surface grinding.

Dieless CNC forming is an innovative technology which can form various materials with complex shape by numerically controlled incremental forming process. In order to apply the technology to industrial parts, however, many problems such as spring-back, rising of material, and trimming difficulty must be solved. In this paper a new dieless CNC forming method to improve forming quality is proposed, which consists of how to modify its original shape in CAD and how to generate its CNC tool path in CAM. The effectiveness of the proposed procedures is tested with a brake dust shield of a vehicle. The results shows that the method proposed enhances the forming quality up to 48% compared to traditional method.

Octree-based algorithm is developed for machining simulation. Most of commercial machining simulators are based on Z map model, which have several limitations to get a high precision in 5 axis machining simulation. Octree representation is three dimensional decomposition method. So it is expected that these limitations be overcome by using octree based algorithm. By using the octree model, storage requirement is reduced. And also recursive subdivision was processed in the boundaries, which reduces useless computation. The supersampling method is the most common form of the anti-aliasing and usually used with polygon mesh rendering in computer graphics. Supersampling technique is applied for advancing its efficiency of the octree algorithm.

Since March 1992, total 200 patients who visited our hospital as functional or organic lesions of central nervous system were treated by gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery for 27 months. Thirty-nine patients of total cases was diagnosed as cerebral arteriovenous malformation. The rate of magnification on X-ray film was reduced by cutting fixation adaptor from 1.0 to below 1.45 times. In order to treat the deep- and lateral-seated cerebral arteriovenous malformation, we slightly modified the angiographic indicator, the commercial Leksell system, by cutting each inner sides about 5mm, We performed the more distinction of the scales by adapting 0.5mm or 1mm copper filter to angiographic indicator. The center point of indicator(X=100mm, Y=100mm, Z=100mm) is corrected by adjusting scales of X-, Y-, Z-axis to each inner 100 and outer 100 point within 1-2mm by repeated exposure of X-ray on films in trial-and-errors. We have developed the 'GKANGIO' programed as the Fortran-77 in Microvax - 3100, which can save treatment planning time and perform accurate pretreatment planning using the theoretical target metrix center. The theoretical description of the simplified method is presented for the reduction of experimental and numerical errors in treatment planning of radiosurgery.

Cutting process has been automated by progress of CNC and CAD/CAM, but polishing process has been depended on only experiential knowledge of expert. To automate the polishing process, a polishing robot with w degrees of freedom which is attached to a machining center with 3 degrees of freedom has been developed. This automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal on the curved surface of die to improve a performance of polishing. Polishing task for a curved surface die demands repetitive operation and high precision, but conventional control algorithm can not cope with the problem of disturbance such as a change of load. In this research, a new sliding mode control algorithm is applied to the robot. The signal compression method is used to identify polishing robot system. to obtain an effect of 5 degrees of freedom motion, a synchronization between the machining center and polishing robot is accomplished by using M code of machining center. And also a trajectory for polishing the curved surface die by 5 degrees of freedom motion, a synchronization between the machining center and polishing robot is accomplished by using M code of machining center. And also a trajectory for polishing the curved surface die by 5 axes machining center is divided into data of two types for 3 axes machining center and 2 axes polishing robot. To evaluate polishing performance of the robot. various experiments are carried out.

Today, in order to improve fuel efficiency and dynamic behavior of automobiles, an era of light weight and simplification of automobile parts is being formed. In order to simplify and design and manufacture the shape of the product, various components are integrated. For example, in order to commercialize three products into one product, product processing is occurring to a very narrow area. In the case of existing parts, precision die casting or casting production is used for processing convenience, and the multi-piece method requires a lot of processes and reduces the precision and strength of the parts. It is very advantageous to manufacture integrally to simplify the processing air and secure the strength of the parts, but if a deep and narrow pocket part needs to be processed, it cannot be processed with the equipment's own spindle. To solve a problem, research on cutting processing is being actively conducted, and multi-axis composite processing technology not only solves this problem. It has many advantages, such as being able to cut into composite shapes that have been difficult to flexibly cut through various processes with one machine tool so far. However, the reality is that expensive equipment increases manufacturing costs and lacks engineers who can operate the machine. In the five-axis cutting processing machine, when producing products with deep and narrow sections, the cycle time increases in product production due to the indirectness of tools, and many problems occur in processing. Therefore, dedicated machine tools and multi-axis composite machines should be used. Alternatively, an angle spindle may be used as a special tool capable of multi-axis composite machining of five or more axes in a three-axis machining center. Various and continuous studies are needed in areas such as processing vibration absorption, low heat generation and operational stability, excellent dimensional stability, and strength securing by using the angle spindle.
