The design and manufacturing tehcnology of IC sockets beyond 0.3mm pitch were presented. We compared the developed IC socket with the conventional one especially on the core metal-insulation part. Advanced machining techniques were employed to provide high precision. Our wire electrodischarge machining and high speed machining centers were able to maintain the micro-scale precision. We performed an injection molding analysis using a commercial analysis tool to predict the performance of the developed IC socket. We found that the solidification of the plastic resin and the high level of the clamping force are responsible for the defects such as incomplete filling and short shot. From these results, we modified the IC socket and successfully remove the defects. We were also able to find out that the new design socket needs less maintenance cost.

The demand of high speed machining is increasing due to the high speed cutting and grinding provides high efficiency of process, short process time, improved metal removal capacity and better surface finish. Active magnetic bearings allow much high surface speed than conventional ball bearings and therefore greatly suitable for high speed cutting or grinding. This paper describes a design process of an active magnetic bearing system for a high speed grinding spindle with power 5.5kW and maximum speed 60,000rpm. Magnetic actuators are designed by the magnetic circuit theory considering static load condition, and examined with FEM analysis. Dynamic characteristics are also considered, such as bandwidth, stiffness, natural frequency and static deflection. System characteristics are simulated with a rigid rotor model.

A mirror cam mechanism a kind of conjugate cam mechanism consists of two cams, two rollers, and two links. Since profiles of two mirror cam are identical, a simultaneous machining of two cams is achievable. Some machining errors on cam profiles do not result in the internal acting force, which often causes problems in high speed cam mechanism between two links. Also, since angular accelerations of two links are same, the internal acting force by the difference of the angular accelerations does not occur in the mechanism. Thus the mirror cam mechanism is very useful in high speed machinery. This paper studies a design method as well as a machining method, and develops an exclusive CAD/CAM software for mirror cam profiles. The developed CAD/CAM software is applied to a typical mirror cam mechanism and a mock-up equipment is built in order to test the machinism mirror cm. Experimental investigations show that the contact between cam surface and roller surface according to cam rotation agrees well with the simulation on the developed CAD/CAM software.

In this paper, we studied a machining method using a diffractive beam splitter (DBS) and multi- pulse repeated radiation for breathable film. We fabricated micro-grooves on polypropylene (PP) films using multi-pulse radiation and one-shot radiation (radiating pulses at once) and a DBS. In the result, width and depth of the PP film using multi-pulse repeated radiation were more precisely controllable. Therefore, this method can be applicable to in manufacturing breathable film precisely at a high speed.

In this paper, a multi-step optimization using a G.A.(Genetic Algorithm) with variable penalty function is introduced to the structural design optimization of a high speed machining center. The design problem, in this case, is to find out the best cross-section shapes and dimensions of structural members which minimize the static compliance, the dynamic compliance, and the weight of the machine structure simultaneously. The first step is the cross-section shape optimization, in which only the section members are selected to survive whose cross-section area have above a critical value. The second step is a static design optimization, in which the static compliance and the weight of the machine structure are minimized under some dimensional constraints and deflection limits. The third step is a dynamic design optimization, where the dynamic compliance and the structure weight are minimized under the same constraints as those of the second step. The proposed design optimization method was successful applied to the machining center structural design optimization. As a result, static and dynamic compliances were reduced to 16% and 53% respectively from the initial design, while the weight of the structure are also reduced slightly.

A marine propeller is designed for preventing cavitation priority. Cavitation is a phenomenon which is defined as the vibration or noise by dropping the pressure on the high-speed rotation of the propeller. There has to be a enough thrust on the low-speed rotation for preventing cavitation. Thus, it has to be considered in the increasing of the number of blade and the angle of wing to design the propeller. In addition, flow resistance will be increasing by narrowing the width between blades. So high quality surface roughness of the hub to minimize flow resistance is required. Interference problems with tool and neighboring surfaces often take place from this kind of characteristics of the propeller. During 5-Axis machining of these propellers, the excessive local interference avoidance, necessary to avoid interference, leads to inconsistency of cutter posture, low quality of machined surface. Therefore, in order to increase the surface quality, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. This study, by using a MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance and a MB-spline algorithm for continuous control, is intended to create a 5-Axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality. Also, an effectiveness is confirmed through a verification manufacturing.

Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) were welded by a combination of a diode laser and a CNC machining center. Laser beam delivered through the transparent PC and was absorbed in an opaque ABS. Polymers were melted and joined by absorbed and conducted heat. Experiments were carried out by varying working distance from 44mm to 50mm for the focus spot diameter control, laser input power from 10W to 25W, and scanning speed from 100 to 400mm/min. The weld bead and cross-section were analyzed for weld quality, and tensile results were presented through the joint force measurement. With focus distance at 48mm, laser power with 20W, and welding speed at 300mm/min, experimental results showed the best welding quality which bead size was measured to be 3.75mm. The shear strength at the given condition was $22.8N/mm^2$. Considering tensile strength of ABS is $43N/mm^2$, shear strength was sufficient to hold two materials. A single process was possible in a CNC machining system, surface processing, hole machining and welding. As a result, the process cycle time was reduced to 25%. Compared to a typical process, specimens were fabricated in a single process, with high precision.
