The objective of this study is to develop a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element program for the analysis of orthogonal cutting process. Deformation of the workpiece material is considered as rigid-viscoplastic and the numerical solution is obtained from the coupled analysis bctween plastic deformation and temperature field, including treament of temperature dependent material properties. The chip and the burr formation are simulated for the non-steady state orthogonal cutting using the developed program. To validate the program the predicted results at chip and burr format~on stage are compared with the published ones. The case of isothermal cutting process is also considered to study the thermal effect on the machining process.

As laser cutting process is widely used in industry, an automated on-line process control system has become very important. In this paper, development of a laser cutting monitoring system, which is regarded as the fundamental step toward automation of the process, is presented. Acoustic emission and an artificial neural network were used for the monitoring system. With given process Parameters including laser power and scanning speed the system can predict the suitability of laser beam for the cutting or a stainless steel (STS304) plate.

There was not the evident analysis about the cutting process of CNC machining, and wouldn't be difficult to estimate the result of machining for the various cutting conditions. Therefore they were not founded the systemic technology about the optimum cutting conditions and selection of cutting tools. So this study have investigated the common facts for needs through the end-mill cutting machining by Machining-Centers or High-speed cutting machines, and developed the user-centered intelligent decision system to selection of the methodology about cutting conditions to improve the machining efficiency of end-mill cutting process.

This research analyzes the cutting mechanism of A1100-H18 of commercially pure aluminum by image processing in SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) for the measurement of strain rate distribution near a cutting edge in orthogonal micro-cutting. The distribution is measured using various methods in order. The methods are in-situ observations of cutting process in SEM, inputting image data, a computer image processing, calculating displacements by SSDA(Sequential Similarity Detection Algorithm) and calculating strain rates by FEM. The min results obtained are as follows: (1)It enables to measure a microscopic displacement near a cutting edge. (2) An application of this system to cutting process of various materials will help to make cutting mechanism clear.

For precise micro V-grooving, ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) is proposed using two parallel piezoelectric actuators, which are energized by sinusoidal voltages with a phase difference of 90 degrees. Experimental setup is composed of stacked PZT actuators, a single crystal diamond cutting tool, and a precision motorized xyz stage. It is found that the chip formed in the process of UEVC is discontinuous because of the periodic contacts and non-contacts occurring between the tool and workpiece. It is experimentally observed that the cutting force in the process of UEVC significantly reduces compared to the ordinary non-vibration cutting. In addition, the creation of burr during UEVC is significantly suppressed, which is attributable to the decrease in the specific cutting energy.

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.

This paper presents an adaptive cutting force controller for milling process, which can be attached to most commercial CNC machining centers in a practical way. The cutting forces of X,Y and Z axes measured indirectly from the use of currents drawn by AC feed-drive servo motors. A typical model for the feed-drive control system of a horizontal machining center is developed to analyze cutting force measurement from the drive motor. The pulsating milling forces can be measured indirectly within the bandwidth of the current feedback control loop of the feed-drive system. It is shown that indirectly measured cutting force signals can be used in the adaptive controller for cutting force regulation. The robust controller structure is adopted in the whole adaptive control scheme. The conditions under which the whole scheme is globally convergent and stable are presented. The suggested control scheme has been implemented into a commercial machining center, and a series of cutting experiments on end milling and face milling processes are performed. The adaptive controller reveals reliable cutting force regulating capability under various cutting conditions.

In this paper, an automatic pipe-cutting machine that uses magnet to attach itself to pipe and performs unmanned cutting process is proposed. The machine uses magnetic force to prevent slip and to attach the machine to the pipe against gravity. The magnetic force is adjustable by changing the gap between the magnet and the pipe. During pipe cutting process, the gravity acting on the pipe-cutting machine widely varies nonlinearly where the gravity is function of climbing angle of the cutting machine along the pipe. The cutting quality is deteriorated with irregular cutting speed. It is necessary to maintain constant cutting speed to obtain good cutting quality ...

Titanium used in industry has been widely applied for aerospace important parts and automobile important parts, etc. because the titanium is higher in strength compared to the steel and light in weight compared to the steel. This study is to investigate the effect of cutting tool cooling method and cutting time on the spindle speed and feed rate of vertical machining center as a parameter to find the rough cutting time in the medium speed cutting machining of the titanium alloy. It is found that the cutting machining heat are increased as the feed rate, cutting time and spindle speed are raised.

The aim of this study is to analyze the behavier of SUS 304 during the cutting process and the resulting cutting temperaturce. Since SUS 304 is a difficult-to-machine material, tool damage is largely affected by the suitability of cutting conditions. Therefore, in varying such cutting conditions, the experiment investigates the relations between cutting temperature and tool wear during the cutting process. All the cutting temperature data were manipulated successfully, and the tool temperature distributions were analyzed by a finite element method based on the acquisition data. In the results, the characteristics of cutting temperature are related to the difficulty of machining characteristics.
