A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VHT system undergoes "pseudo-real machining", before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to provide the proper cutting conditions for process planners and to compensate or control the machining process in terms of the productivity and attributes of the products. The attributes can be characterized by the machined surface error, dimensional accuracy, roughness, integrity, and so forth. The main components of the VMT are the cutting process, application, thermal behavior, and feed drive modules. In Part 1, the cutting process module is presented. When verified experimentally, the proposed models gave significantly better prediction results than any other methods. In Part 2 of this paper, the thermal behavior and feed drive modules are developed, and the models are integrated into a comprehensive software environment.vironment.

Vibrations in machine tools make many problems in precision, production efficiency, and machine performance. The relative vibration between a workpiece and a tool is very complicated due to many sources. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a newly developed CNC lathe were analyzed and its chatter characteristics were predicted by a chatter analysis method using finite element analysis and 3 dimensional cutting dynamics. The simulated results showed very complex characteristics of chatter vibration and the borderline of limiting depth of cut was used as the stability limit. To check the validity of this method, cutting tests were done in the CNC lathe using a boring bar as a tool because boring process is very weak due to long overhang . The experimental results showed that the simplified borderline was to be considered as limiting depth of cut at which the chatter vibration starts and the stability limits depended on various cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed and nose radius of tool.

In this study, PC-based slicing machine and driving software were constructed for the purpose of automation of semi-conductor cutting process. The biggest feature of software is variation of parameter and include data base, signal monitoring, error report, corresponding action or automatic motion planing. Parameters were drawn and algorithms were developed to make software by GUI interface. The cutting experiment was done for sampled wafer to see the effectiveness of the soft automation. From the experimented and implemented results, it is shown that parameters for automation of slicing process could be drawn, then its algorithms constructed. It could be considered what is the merit of this slicing machine by comparing the PC-based and the NC-based.

The accuracy of the servo control in CNC system has a great influence on the duality of machine product. Tracking performance of the servo control is deteriorated mainly by the time delay of the servo system and the inertia of the work table or bed. Contouring errors occur in every interpolation steps by the effect of the tracking performance. In this paper, $H_{\infty}$ two-degree-of-freedom(TDF) controller is designed for improvement to improve the tracking performance. The designed controller is applied 3-axis machining center model and the cutting accuracy is simulated in case of corner cutting, circular and involute interpolation. Simulation results show that $H_{\infty}$ TDF controller designed in this paper has a good effect to improve tracking performance in CNC system.

This paper presents rough cut tool path planning for the fewer-axis machine consisting of a three-axis CNC machine and a rotary indexing table. In the problem dealt with in this paper, the tool orientation is "intermediately" changed, distinguished from the conventional problem where the tool orientation is assumed to be fixed. The developed rough cut path planning algorithm tries to minimize the number of tool orientation (setup) changes together with tool changes and the machining time for the rough cut by the four procedures: a) decomposition of the machining area based on the possibility of tool interference (via convex hull operation), b) determination of the optimal tool size and orientation (via network graph theory and branch-and bound algorithm), c) generation of tool path for the tool and orientation (based on zig-zag pattern), and d) feedrate adjustment to maintain the cutting force at an operation level (based on average cutting force). The developed algorithms are validated via computer simulations, and can be also used in pure fiveaxis machining environment without modification.

The cutting tests of aluminum alloy with heat treatmented various hardnesses after rheo-fonning were carried out using CNC milling machine. The surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) of cut surface and cutting forces are measured at various cutting conditions such as low spindle speed, feed speed and hardness. In the CNC end-milling, the surface roughness increases as feed speed increases and decreases as spindle speed increases. However, the bulit-up edge has occurred on in case of low hardness and low feed speed. In experimental conditions, as the hardness of aluminum alloy increases, the surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) decreases

In this paper, The torque of CNC spindle motor during machining is estimated without speed measuring sensor. The CNC spindle system is divided into two parts, the induction spindle motor part and mechanical part. In mechanical part the variation of the frictional force due to the increment of the cutting torque and the effect of damping coefficient is investigated. Damping coefficient is found to be a function of spindle speed and not influenced by the weight of the load, while frictional force is a function of both the cutting torque and spindle speed. Experimental formulars are drawn for damping coefficient as a function of spindle speed and frictional force as a function of both cutting torque and spindle speed respectively, to estimate the cutting torque accurately. Graphical programming is used to implement the suggested algorithm, to monitor the torque of an induction motor in real time. Torque of the spindle induction motor is well monitored with 3% error range under various cutting conditions.

A performance of CNC 3-axis pipe profile-cutting machine we developed was evaluated by measuring and verifying a positioning accuracy of its feeding unit and a cutting shape accuracy of pipe workpiece. The positioning accuracy was verified by comparing moving distance actuated by PLC motion controller with actual one measured by a laser interferometer. The cutting shape accuracy was also verified by comparing a cutting shape obtained through scanning and 3D modeling the pipe workpiece with that through CL data.
