Machining quality has been improved with the development of cutting tools. However, it is difficult to obtain a high degree of quality in machining a deep pocket with a long end mill, since machining accuracy is mainly dependent on the stiffness of the cutting tool and tool holder. To improve machining quality in machining a deep pocket using an end mill, the performance by cutting condition compare with others. Owing to this problem, it is necessary to select suitable tool and holder in the deep pocket machining. In this study, the hydraulic holder for the high speed machining is introduced and the performance of that is compared with others according to cutting conditions. The cutting parameters involved were; slenderness ratio in the range of 3 to 6 (L/D), radial depth of cut from 0.01 to 0.05 mm. Cutting force and surface roughness, precision of form were observed during the experiment to investigate cutting state.

Modelling for performance prediction of mechanical excavation is discussed in this paper. Two of the most successful performance prediction models, namely theoretical based CSM model and empirical based NTH model, are discussed and compared. The basic principles of rock cutting with disc cutters, especially Constant Cross Section cutters, are discussed and a theoretical model developed is introduced to provide an estimate of disc cutting forces as a function of rock properties and the cutting geometry. General modelling logic for the performance prediction of mechanical excavation is introduced. CSM computer model developed and currently used at the Earth Mechanics Institute(EMI) of the Colorado School of Mines is discussed. Example of input and output of this model is illustrated for the typical operation by Tunnel Boring Machine(TBM).

For precise micro-grooving and surface machining, ultrasonic cyclic elliptical cutting is proposed using two parallel piezoelectric actuators. The piezoelectric actuators are energized by sinusoidal voltages of varying phase which is essenstial to generating elliptical cutting. Experimental setup is composed of ultrasonic motor, single crystal diamond cutting tool, and precise motorized xyz stage. It is confirmed experimentally that the cutting performance, in terms of the cutting force, the burr formation, and the discontinuous chip formation is improved remarkably by applying ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting.

Recently, with the development of high speed machining technology for difficult-cutting materials, to improve the cutting performance of cutting tool, fine surface finish of complex shape tools using magnetic polishing technology is in high demand. This study is, therefore, discussed and compared the cutting characteristics of polished tools by the adopted various magnetic polishing moving types a point of view the cutting forces and the tool life. Moreover, the practicality of magnetic polished tools in the wide range cutting conditions is investigated. From obtained results, It is confirmed that the CW(clockwise) revolution and oscillation type as the polishing moving type is proper and magnetic polished tool shows the excellence in high cutting speed range.

The high speed machining is now one of the most effective manufacturing methods to achive higher productivity. However, due to the increased cutting temperatures caused by increased cutting speed, tool wear become larger. Especially in high speed face milling, cutting tools are exposed not only to high cutting temperatures, but also to mechanical and thermal shock stresses. It is essential, therefore, to know the wear characteristics of tool materials in high speed machining. This study presents an experimental investigation of the cutting performance of CBN tools in high speed face milling of gray cast iron FC25. The effect of cutting conditions and cutting length on flank wear of CBN tools and roughness of machined surfaces is investigated. The cutting parameters involved were ; cutting speeds in the range of 600to 1800 m/min, feed of 0.1 mm/tooth, and depth of cut of 0.3mm.

Monitoring of the cutting force signals in cutting process has been well emphasized in machine tool communities. Although the cutting force can be directly measured by a tool dynamometer, this method is not always feasible because of high cost and limitations in setup. In this paper an indirect cutting force monitoring system is developed so that the cutting force in turning process is estimated based on a AC spindle drive model. This monitoring system considers the cutting force as a disturbance input to the spindle drive and estimates the cutting force based on the inverse dynamic model. The inverse dynamic model represents the dynamic relation between the cutting force, the motor torque and the motor power. The proposed monitoring system is realized on a CNC lathe and its estimation performance is evaluated experimentally.

A study on the generation of optimum tool path for machining the concave parts is discussed. Above all, the various cutting factors and their relationships are considered. Then optimum tool path for concave parts is generated on these cutting variables and their relationships. It is difficult for existing CAD/CAM systems tomachine the concave parts. For cutting the part even the experienced craft must give many attentions and muchtime since it needs consideration of various cutting conditions and geometric properties. The optimum tool path for the concave part is generated onnot only geometric properties byut also cutting conditions. We choose, as variables, feed and cutting direction for productivity, diameter of tool and constant(stable) cutting force for machining accuracy. The results are verified through simulation of the index of performance and cutting force.

The dynamic characteristics of turning processes are complex, non-linear and time-varying. Consequently, the conventional techniques based on crisp mathematical model may not guarantee cutting force regulation. This paper presents a fuzzy controller which can regulate cutting force in turning process under varying cutting conditions. The fuzzy control rules are extablished from operator experience and expert knowledge about the process dynamics. Regulation which increases productivity and tool life is achieved by adjusting feedrate according to the variation of cutting conditions. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated by cutting experiments in the converted conventional lathe. The results of experiments show that the proposed fuzzy controller has a good cutting force regulation capability in spite of the variation of cutting conditions.

The machining performance of wire electrical discharge machining(WEDM), such as cutting speed, surface roughness and straightness depend on the electrode, and the machining parameters are diverse and affect each other. Therefore operator must have a lot of experiences of the parameter for the better machining performance in WEDM. An approach to minimize the time for determining of parameters setting is proposed. Based on the Taguchi method, the significant factors affecting the machining performance are determined. Types of electrodes are arranged at inner array in tables of orthogonal arrays so that we can estimate machining performances of each electrode. Coating wire shows better performances than brass wire in cutting speed but it produces poor surface roughness, and two wires shows similar performance in straightness
