Today the demand of the optical communication components has been increased. Zirconia Ferrule has become the one of the most important elements because it determines transmission efficiency and quality of information in the optical communication system. Grinding is the major process in the ferrule manufacturing process which require high processing precision. In this reseach, specially designed spindle, chucking system, loading & unloading system and cooling system, as a supporting experimental equipment for development of an Intelligent Coaxial Grinding System (ICGS) for Zirconia Ferrule processing, is developed. We are also analized the adaptability of ICGS in practical use, through the way of evaluation for the performance of the each systems above.

This report deals with a feeding system of the Coaxal grinding machine, processing optical ferrule. This report also examines the applicability of using the feeding system for the Coaxial grinding machine, by mean of conducting performance estimation. The results are as follow; Repeatability of regulating wheel is $17{\mu}m$, R/W rotation accuracy is between $30\;\~\;40{\mu}m$. This means 'Rotation accuracy' is lower than the concentricity level. Backlash generation level at the feeding system of the grinding wheel is under $1{\mu}m$, thereby positioning accuracy is controlled within $2{\mu}m$ In terms of repeatability, you can find occasional error at the returning process from the starting point. This error is resulted from the measurement tolerance of the starting point sensor. We will get the repeatability level under control by $1{\mu}m$, through improving the soft-ware used and up-grading the sensor at the starting point.

각광을 받고 있는 광통신 분야의 핵심부품인 페룰은 일본이 전 세계의 95%를 장악하고 있다. 국내에서도 일부 업체에서 양산을 하고 있으나, 핵심 연삭공정에 사용되는 연삭 가공장비는 전량 수입되고 있는 실정이다. 페룰은 0.1∼0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$의 동심도, ${\pm}$ 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$의 외경치수, 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$대의 진원도와 원통도, 10nm의 표면 거칠기를 구현해야 세계적 경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는 초미세, 초정밀 기계가공 부품이다.(중략)
