With increasing the needs for micro and precision parts, micro machining technology using micro tools has been studied to fabricate a small part with high density such as electronics, optics, communications, and medicine industry more than before. Though these micro tools have developed rapidly, it is difficult to apply them to micro fabrication technologies, because of the inherent manufacturing. In this study, micro tools(wc) to produce micro structures and parts were manufactured by cylindrical grinding machine employing ELID(Electrolytic In-process Dressing) technique and good dimensional accuracy was achieved. Furthermore we researched the characteristics of machining on the micro drilling using micro drills and manufactured micro tools. Finally it is confirmed that manufactured micro tools can be used for micro machining.

In this study, micro tools (WC) to produce micro structures and parts were manufactured by cylindrical grinding machine employing ELID (Electrolytic In-process Dressing) technique and the micro tools are fabricated as square shape with the dimension less than 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. With the micro tools on the same machine, characteristics of micro grooving and drilling are evaluated. Also we compare normal micro machining with ultrasonic micro machining on the vibration table. It is confirmed that the developed micro tools are fully applicable to micro grooving, micro drilling and free form cutting.

In this study, micro tools(WC) to produce micro-structure and parts, were fabricated ell a cylindrical grinding machine using ELID(Electrolytic In-process Dressing) technique. The shape of the micro-carbide tool was square, corn. The size of the micro-carbide tool was measured less than 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ respectively by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). Furthermore, we fabricated micro structure by different processing methods on the desk top cylindrical grinding machine. The manufactured shape was like a tower and the measurement showed that the endpoint of micro structure was $50{\times}50$$\mu{\textrm}{m}$.

The ELID(electrolytic in-process dressing) grinding method is a new precision grinding technique with the special electrolytic in-process dressing by metal bonded grinding wheel, fluid, and power supply. It is possible to make a efficient precision machining of hard and brittle materials such as ceramics, hard metals, and quenched steels by using this method, In this study, a new efficient precision grinding method with ELID was attempted for application to the machining and finishing processes of cylindrical structural components. And, we try to develop the cylindrical grinding technique for mirror surface of ceramics, tungsten carbide and SCM steel, and for the high efficiency grinding of machined parts, for example, ball screw shaft. Electrical characteristics of three different wheel grit sizes of #325, #2000 and #4000 were investigated experimentally. ELID grinding method is proved to be useful for mirror surface generation and efficient machining.

Machinble Ceramics have some excellent properties as the material for the mechanical components. It is, however, very difficult to grind ceramics with high efficiency because of their high strength, hardness and brittleness. Lapping used diamond slurry and lapping by in-process electrolytic dressing is developed to solve this problem. On this paper, a comparative study of processing ability of lapping used diamond slurry and lapping by in-process electrolytic dressing.

전해 인프로세스 드레싱(ELID)의 응용기술로써 간헐적 드레싱(ELID II) 및 무전극 드레싱(ELID III)이 원통내면 마무리 연삭에 이용되고 있다. 주철본드(CIB-D) 및 메탈레진본드 다이아몬드 숫돌(HRB-D)이 이 방식들에 사용되고 있다. 경면 가공에 있어서 이 두방식은 미립의 숫돌이용으로 일반연삭기에 정밀부속 장치의 보완없이 이용될 수 있다. ELID II 연삭에서 CIB-D숫돌은 파이프 형상의 전극에 의하여 간헐적으로 드레싱되고, 반면에 MRB-D 숫돌은 인프로세스 드레싱 되며 전극은 필요로 하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 ELID II 및 ELID III 방식에 있어서, 연삭조건 및 연삭입자크기에 대한 연삭특성을 비교검토 하였다. 그 결과, ELID II, III방식 공히 대단히 작은 표면거칠기를 갖는 경면이 얻어짐을 확인하였다.

In this paper, it verifies the relationships between wheel velocity and surface roughness with the mirror surface grinding using electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID). In the general, as wheel velocity is high, surface roughness is better on the base of grinding theory. However, the relationships between wheel velocity and surface roughness is undefined due to the effect of electro-chemical dressing and the characteristics of materials. According to above relationships, ELID grinding experiment is carried out by following the change of wheel velocity. As the result of this study, it is found that surface roughness is not better as linearly as the increase of wheel velocity, but the limit of wheel velocity exists according to the characteristics of materials. Also, in contradiction to the present trend of high wheel velocity of manufacturing system for high surface integrity, it is able to expected to the base on the development of new ultra precision grinding method with the practicality of mirror surface grinding using ELID grinding method.

Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is a new technique for achieving a nanoscale surface finish on hard and brittle materials such as optical glass and ceramics. This process applies an electrochemical dressing on the metal-bonded diamond wheels to ensure constant protrusion of sharp cutting grits throughout the grinding cycle. In conventional ELID grinding, a constant source of pulsed DC power is supplied to the ELID cell, but a feedback mechanism is necessary to control the dressing power and obtain better performance. In this study, we propose a new closed-loop wheel dressing technique for grinding wheel truing that addresses the efficient correction of eccentric wheel rotation and the nonuniformity in the grinding wheel profile. The technique relies on an iterative control algorithm for the ELID power supply. An inductive sensor is used to measure the wheel profile based on the gap between the sensor head and wheel edge, and this is used as the feedback signal to control the pulse width of the power supply. We discuss the detailed mathematical design of the control algorithm and provide simulation results that were confirmed experimentally.
