The aviation industry has grown beyond the simple processing and assembling of aircraft parts and now designs and exports finished aircraft. In this study, the vertical CNC milling rotational speed and feed rate were parameters to investigate the life of tools according to their shape: (flat, round, and ball end mill) in the rough cutting of titanium. These tools are widely used in aircraft manufacturing and assembly. The purpose of this study is to measure the cutting temperature generated during the cutting process and calculate the rate of tool wear. This will be accomplished by measuring the tool weight before and after cutting the specimen and to compare it with the results of previous studies. Our study showed that the maximum cutting temperature increased as cutting time, tool rotational speed, and feed rate increased. The highest cutting temperatures were recorded for the ball, round, and flat end mill, respectively. Tool wear for the ball, round, and flat end mill increased as the speed and feed rate increased. The flat end mill exhibited the highest rate of wear from a minimum of 0.62% to a maximum of 2.88%.

Mechanical micro-engineering is an easy and cheap way to fabricate micro-structures. If the application of the conventional machining method using flat-end mill becomes available for the micro-manufacturing process, it will be advanced as an extension of the conventional machining process. In this study, micro-grooves cutting using flat-end mill(($\phi$8) was performed. The characteristics on flat-end milling was investigated to improve machinability of micro-grooves. The experiments were performed according to variations of spindle revolution, depth of cut, and feed rate. Machinability through various cutting conditions was evaluated by surface geometry, tool wear, and cutting force. The results show that micro V-grooves of width(pitch) 29${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were acquired by flat-end milling. The maximum and minimum roughness of the wall of grooves was 438 and 67nm, respectively

The cusp height in ball end milling, flat end milling and filleted end milling according to various surface inclination angle was calculated. The calculation result shows that, for each kind of tools, there exists certain range of inclination angle in which cusp height characteristics favorable. From machining time calculation, filleted end mill found to be superior to flat end mill in rough machining of sculptured surface.

End mill is an essential tool to generate complex surface in workpiece and it has been developed with various materials and tool shapes. The most important factor to evaluate the performance of end mill is still the wear characteristics of flank face. In addition to the flank wear, the tool edge roughness generated by the chipping is another important factor in aspects of material property and machinability evaluation and affects the quality of machined surface. Up to now, there is no direct method for measurement of tool edge roughness. In this study, the tool edge roughness of flat end mill is indirectly measured along the axial direction of workpiece. The theoretical equation is derived in consideration of tool geometry. Finally, the optimal conditions to measure the tool edge roughness by the proposed method are presented through the theoretical review and experimental identification.

The purpose of this study is an evaluation of flat end mills to develop appropriate tools for the high speed machining. First of all, several flat end mills which are produced by different makers are selected to analyze the performances of the tools. Experimental works are also executed to measure cutting farce, tool wear and surface roughness for different cutting conditions. And then the results are compared and analyzed for developing optimal cutting tool in the high speed condition.

The rotary feed axes of a 5-axis machine tool can increase the freedom of the tool posture, while reducing feed speed and rigidity. In addition, as a ball-end mill is inevitably used during machining by rotational feed, the step-over length is reduced compared to the flat-end mill, thereby reducing the material removal rate. Therefore, this study attempts to improve the material removal rate, feed speed, and machining stability using the corner radius flat-end mill and a fixed controlled machining method for the rotary feed axes during roughing. In addition, the tapered ball-end mill and simultaneously controlled machining method for the rotary feed axes were used for finishing to improve the propeller's 5-axis machining efficiency by enhancing the surface quality. In order to create the tool path effectively and easily, we propose a specific approach for using the propeller's geometric properties and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing it with the method of the dedicated module.

This paper presented a new model of virtualized CNC milling machine. The model verifies the over cut, the under cut and the surface roughness using NC file generated from CAM and cutting condition. The model uses Z-map model to verify workpiece. In this paper, the model used the velocities of x, y and z direction and obtained a center point of a hall end mill for modeling Z-map of workpiece. To investigate the performance of the model, simulation study was carried out. As the results, the model gave geometry accuracy of workpiece, the surface roughness and the chip loads in finish cutting that can predict tool chipping. The virtualized CNC machine can he used a flat end mill, a ball end mill and a rounded end mill.

Recently the applications of high speed machining are increasing due to the need for high performance and high accuracy machining and machining for difficult-to-cut material. However, the high speed machining also accompanies some problems: the product quality can be degraded due to the tool wear and the product cast can go up due to frequent tool replacements. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technique of quantitative tool wear measurement to determine the precise timing for tool replacement. In this respect, this study suggests a reliable technique far the reduction of error components by developing a system using a CCD camera and an exclusive jig to be able to precisely measure the size of tool wear in flat end mill for high speed machining.

평엔드밀 가공된 측벽 형상에 공구 형상이 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 공구 형상을 비틀림각, 절삭날 수, 직경으로 구분하여 특징지었으며, 가공면의 기하학적 특성은 서로 직교하는 이송방향 형상과 축방향 형상으로 나누어 고려하였다. 각 방향의 형상 특성은 공구와 공작물 및 절삭날과 공작물의 간섭 영역으로부터 계산한 순간 절삭면적을 바탕으로 추정하였으며, 추정의 타당성을 가공면 형상 및 배분력 측정을 통하여 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 이송방향 형상의 결함은 공구 퇴출 및 공구 경로의 곡률반경이 변하는 구간에서 나타나며, 이외의 구간에서는 축방향 형상의 결함이 주를 이루는 것이 확인되었다. 측벽의 가공정밀도를 향상시키기 위해서는, 상대적으로 직경이 작고, 비틀림각이 큰 절삭날을 많이 갖는 엔드밀을 사용하여 상향절삭 하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 추천된다.

The Surface, generated by end milling operation, is deteriorated by tool runout, vibration, friction, tool deflection, etc. Especially in cornering cut, surface accuracy is usually determined by varying cutting forces, which causes tool deflections. Cutting conditions like feed rate is usually kept constant during machining a part, which causes dimensional error in severe cutting. Cornering cut is a typical example of deterioration of surface accuracy when constant feed rate is applied. Therefore it becomes important to develop NC post processor module to determine optimal cutting conditions in various cutting situations. In this paper, cutting force is predicted in cornering cut with flat end mill and feed rate is determined by constraining constantly resultant force. Also some control characteristics of CNC machining center are evaluated.
