In this paper, the web-based monitoring system is developed for the process monitoring of mold manufacturing. The cutting force is measured by hall-sensors which is low cost and useful to be installed in machine tool indirectly. Specially, the current of main spindle in machine tool is converted into cutting force by various experiments. For effective emote monitoring, the interface that is able to offer the information of current process and cutting signal to client is establish.

This experimental study mainly deal with the single and multi-insert cutting characteristics using coated tool. Because metal cutting of the single and multi-insert has a large relation to the improvement of productivity, the economic cutting process can be achieved by the analysis of proper metal cutting mechanism. Therefore, machining characteristics of face milling in this paper has been studied by investigating the role of different insert number which is concerned with mean cutting force, the RMS values of AE(acoustic emission) signal, tool life and surface roughness in milling SS 41 and SUS 304.

This paper presents the on-line monitoring of the surface roughness in a face milling operation. The cut- ting force was used to monitor the surface roughness, since the insert run-outs not only deteriorate surface roughness but also change cutting force. AR model and band energy method were taken to extract the fea- tures from the cutting force. The features extracted from AR modelling are more accurate about the moni- toring than those from band energy method, whereas, the computing speed of the former is slow. An artifi- cal neural network discriminated the level of the surface roughness by using the features extracted via signal processing.

This study describes a system that monitors the tool and cutting state of automatic beveling operation in real time. As a signal for cutting state monitoring, a motor current detected from the spindle drive system of the automatic beveling machine is used to monitor abnormal state. Because automatic beveling is processed using a face milling cutter, the cutting force mechanism is the same as the milling process. The predicted cutting torque is obtained using a cutting force model based on specific cutting resistance. Then, the predicted cutting torque is converted into the spindle motor current value, and cutting state stability is diagnosed by comparing it with the motor current value detected during beveling operation. The experimental results show that the spindle motor current can detect abnormal cutting state such as overload and tool wear during beveling operation, and can diagnose the cutting stability using the proposed equip-current line diagram.

In this task, the tool dynamometer design and manufacture, and the Ansys S/W structural analysis program for tool attachment that satisfies the cutting force measurement requirements of the tool dynamometer system are used to determine the cutting force generated by metal cutting using 3-axis static structural analysis and the LabVIEW system. The cutting power in a cutting process using a milling tool for processing metals provides useful information for understanding the processing, optimization, tool status monitoring, and tool design. Thus, various methods of measuring cutting power have been proposed. The device consists of a strain-gauge-based sensor fitted to a new design force sensing element, which is then placed in a force reduction. The force-sensing element is designed as a symmetrical cross beam with four arms of a rectangular parallel line. Furthermore, data duplication is eliminated by the appropriate setting the strain gauge attachment position and the construction of a suitable Wheatstone full-bridge circuit. This device is intended for use with rotating spindles such as milling tools. Verification and machining tests were performed to determine the static and dynamic characteristics of the tool dynamometer. The verification tests were performed by analyzing the difference between strain data measured by weight and that derived by theoretical calculations. Processing test was performed by attaching a tool dynamometer to the MCT to analyze data generated by the measuring equipment during machining. To maintain high productivity and precision, the system monitors and suppresses process disturbances such as chatter vibration, imbalances, overload, collision, forced vibration due to tool failure, and excessive tool wear; additionally, a tool dynamometer with a high signal-to-noise ratio is provided.

High speed milling(HSM) is one of the emerging cutting process having tremendous potential not only in increased metal removal rates but also in improved surface finish, burr free edge, dimensional accuracy and a virtually stress free component after machining. The High efficiency and accuracy in machining of die/mold materials can be obtained in high speed machining, so it is necessary to analytic the mechanism of high speed cutting process : cutting force, acoustic emission signal.

Tool fracture index(TFI) was developed in order not only to detect tool fracture but also to predict the amount of tool fracture in face milling. TFI is calculated by using peak-to-valley values of cutting force acting on teeth and their ratio between the adjacent teeth. When the tool fractures, a large value of TFI proportional to the amount of tool fracture was obtained periodically and decreased gradually. It was found that TFI is independent of cutter runout and it almost does not vary during transient cutting such as cutting condition change during machining. The threshold of tool fracture can be analytically determined by TFI developed in this paper, because the magnitude of TFI was shown to be dependent on the ratio of the amount of tool fracture to feed per tooth and immersion ratio. It was possible to predict the amount of tool fracture in experiments by using the proposed TFI.

Pipe-cutting machines have been used in many fields. Recently, an automatic pipe-cutting machine that uses magnet has born developed. In this paper, a magnetic-type automatic pipe-cutting machine that attaches itself and performs unmanned cutting process is proposed. It is designed that there is a room at the bottom of its body to contain a magnet. And it uses magnetic force between the magnet and the pipe surface to prevent slip and to attach the machine to the pipe against gravity. Also the magnetic force is adjustable by changing the gap between the magnet and the pipe. This machine is, however, necessary to control cutting velocity for the elevation of work efficiency and the adjustable faculties. During pipe cutting process, the gravity acting on the pipe-cutting machine widely varies. That is, the cutting machine gets fast when moving from the top to the bottom of the pipe and slow when moving from the bottom to the top. Actually the system is kind of a non-linear system where the gravity is function of climbing angle of the cutting machine along the pipe. Especially jerking motion is critical. Therefore, authors design the non-linear controller that estimates the current position of the machine along the pipe and compensates the effect of gravity in this paper. It receives the feed back signal from the encoder.

This study shows how the change of helix angle for different helix angle end mill affects machining accuracy. It was verified that cutting forces are remarkably low when endmill has helix angle of different helix angle $25^{\circ}\;, \; 31^{\circ}\; , \; 37^{\circ}$and AE signals have less relationship with the chance of helix angle Moreover, as the number of rotations are increased, the AE signals are increased with the proportion to the number but cutting forces are inversely proportional to the rotation.

Micro drilling is used in the production of fuel injection nozzle, watch, camera, air bearing and pinted circuit boards(PCB) are demanded for high precision. Recently industries of precision production require more small hole, high aspect ratio and high speed working for micro deep hole drilling. But the undesirable characteristics of micro drilling is the small signal to noise ratios, wandering motion of drill, high aspect ratio and the increase of cutting force as cutting depth increase. So in this paper to obtain the optimization of cutting condition a study on the characteristics of micro deep hole drilling used Tool dynamometer is proposed.
