An optoelectronical method for in process monitoring of flank wear of cutting tools is presented. The method is based upon real-time vision technology in which the tool is illuminated by a beam of laser and then the image of wear zone is taken by a vidicon camera. The image is converted to a series of digital pixel data and processed through an algorithm specially developed for measurement of the wear land width. Detailed aspects of the prototype measurement system byilt for experiment are described, and test results are discussed. As conclusions, it is proved that the methods are effec- tive especially for-in situ application with a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm.

If root and resection is done during surgical endodontic treatment, newly exposed dentinal tubules form pathways between the canal and the peripheral tissue. Nd : YAG laser was used to block this phenomenon, and its effect was studied with dye penetration and SEM techniques. 40 intact single rooted teeth were divided into 4 groups(10 each) : control group and test groups, in which retrograde cavity surface, cutting surface, retrograde cavity surface & cutting surface were treated with laser(1 watt 15pps) and finally retrograde filling with IRM was conducted. After that, they were stained with 2 % methylene blue, sectioned and evaluated by the maximum infiltration depth. And to observe surface change, they were prepared for SEM. The results were as follows ; 1. All experimental groups showed microleakage with variation in amount. 2. The 2nd group which treated both the retrograde cavity and cutting surface showed significantly less microleakage than the other groups(p<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups treated on one side only. 3. As a result of SEM observation of dentin surface, obstruction of dentinal tubules with marble shaped granules, which were different from normal dentin could be seen. Cracks could be seen also. 4. In summary of this experiment, it is thought that effort to obstruct the exposed dentinal tubules as well as retrograde cavity after root end resection is needed.

This paper describes an atomic force microscope (AFM)-based instrument for measuring the nanoscale cutting edge profiles of diamond cutting tools. The instrument consists of a combined AFM unit and an optical sensor to align the AFM tip with the top of the diamond cutting tool edge over a submicron range. In the optical sensor, a aser beam is emitted from a laser diode along the Y-axis and focused to a small beam spot with a diameter of approximately $10{\mu}m$ at the beam waist, which is then received by a photodiode. The top of the tool edge is first brought into the center of the beam waist by adjusting it in the X-Z-plane while monitoring the variation in the photodiode output. The cutting tool is then withdrawn and its top edge position at the beam center is recorded. The AFM tip can also be positioned at the beam center in a similar manner to align it with the top of the cutting edge. To reduce electronic noise interference on the photodiode output and thereby enhance the alignment accuracy, a technique is applied that can modulate the photodiode output to an AC signal by driving the laser diode with a sinusoidal current. Alignment experiments and edge profile measurements of a diamond cutting tool were carried out to verify the performance of the proposed system.

Laser assisted machining (LAM) has been researched in order to machine the silicon nitride ceramics economically and effectively. LAM is an effective machining method by local heating of the cutting part to the softening temperature of the silicon nitride using laser beam. When silicon nitride ceramics is heated using a laser beam, the surface of silicon nitride ceramic is softened, oxidized and decomposed. And then surface hardness is decreased. Through machining in low viscosity and hardness conditions, silicon nitride was machined effectively and the life span of tool was increased. The plastic deformation was occurred due to softening of amorphous YSiAlON above $ 1,000^{\circ}C$. Transgranular fracture of ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ was occurred when YSiAlON was not softened, but mostly intergranular fracture was occurred by the plastic deformation of softened YSiAlON.

Nowadays laser cutting is the most promising method of cutting FPD(Flat Panel Display) glass in mass-production line. And this method can also be used to cut other brittle materials such as quartz, sapphire, ceramic and semiconductor The concept of this method is shown in picture 1. Laser beam heats glass up to strain point, not to melting point and cooling system chills glass to induce maximun thermal stress in glass surface and then the thermal stress generates micro thermal crack, in other words blind depth of crack, along laser beam and cooling line.

Automatic monitoring of cutting process is one of the most important technologies for increasing the stability and the reliability of unmanned manufacturing system. In this study, the methods which use laser displacement signals and banded energy method are proposed to monitor chatter vibration in the turning process. From this method, the monitoring system of the chatter vibration was developed and investigated its practical possibility. As a result, it is shown by experiments that the chatter vibration can be detected accurately, and it can be widely used in most turning processes.

Er : YAG 레이저의 상아질 삭제효과와 이에 따른 온도변화를 평가하고자 발거된 소구치와 대구치로 상아세관내 조직액과 치수내압을 유지할 수 있는 상아질 시편을 제작하고 $2.94{\mu}m$의 pulsed Er : YAG 레이저(SDL-300EN, 삼성전자, 한국)를 handpiece형의 전달계를 이용한 비접촉식 방법으로 조사세기, pulse repetition rate, 조사시간, 물 분사여부 등의 조사조건을 달리하여 상아질 면에 조사하고 이때의 삭제량과 상아질 두께에 따른 온도변화, 그리고 삭제형태를 조사, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 레이저 조사세기와 pulse repetition rate가 클수록, 그리고 조사시간이 길수록 삭제량이 증가되었다(P<0.05). 그러나 5Hz의 pulse repetition rate에서는 조사시간에 따른 삭제량의 차이가 크지 않았다. 2. 삭제된 와동은 비교적 변연부가 명확하고 깨끗하였으며 와동의 바닥은 원추형이였으며 부드러웠다. 조사세기와 pulse repetition rate가 클수록, 그리고 조사시간이 길수록 와동의 상부 직경이 넓었으며 150mJ, 5Hz, 5sec에서는 와동변연부에 약간의 crack이 관찰되었다. 3. 레이저 조사세기와 pulse repetition rate가 클수록, 그리고 조사시간이 길수록 상아질의 온도가 더 많이 상승하였으며 시편의 두께가 두꺼울수록 온도상승이 적었다(P<0.05). 4. 물을 분사하며 레이저를 조사할 경우 물을 분사하지 않은 경우에 비해 온도상승이 매우 감소되었다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 Er : YAG 레이저를 상아질에 조사할 경우 와동의 형태가 명확하고 물을 분사할 경우 온도상승이 많이 유발되지 않으므로써 삭제력이 좋고 치수에 유해작용이 없는 것으로 생각된다. 향후 임상에서 치질을 제거하는데 효율적으로 이용되기 위해서는 더욱 크고 이에 따른 온도상승을 최소로 할 수 있는 조사 시스템 및 방법에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

목적 전통적 고속 회전식 절삭기구 또는 Er:YAG 레이저로 삭제된 상아질에, 두가지 다른 접착 시스템을 적용한 후, 축조한 컴포지트 레진의 미세인장결합강도를 비교하고, 다양한 Er:YAG 레이저 에너지가 미세인장결합강도에 미치는 영향을 평가한다. 재료 및 방법 40개의 제3대구치를 사용하여, 평평한 상아질면을 만든 후 8개의 군으로 나누어, 4가지 절삭방법 (고속 회전식 절삭기구, 2 W, 3 W, 4 W 출력의 Er:YAG 레이저) 중 한 가지로 삭제하고, 2가지 접착 시스템 (Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus, Clearfil SE bond) 중 한 가지로 처리하여 컴포지트 레진을 축조하였다. 24시간의 저장 후, 각 시편을 결합면에 수직으로 자르고, 미세인장결합강도를 측정하였다. 각 군의 미세인장결합강도는 평균$\pm$표준 편차로 표현하였고, 통계분석을 위해 two-way ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, student-Newman-Keuls' multiple comparison test, 그리고 t-test가 사용되었다. 결과 및 결론 1. 접착시스템과 관계없이, 절삭방법에 따른 미세인장결합강도의 유의한 차이가 있었고, 높은 순서대로 나열하면 다음과 같다: 3 W, 2 W, Bur, 4 W (p<0.001). 2. 절삭방법과 관계없이, Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus로 처리한 군이 Clearfil SE bond로 처리한 군보다 유의하게 높은 미세인장결합강도를 나타냈다 (p<0.001). 3. Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus로 처리한 군 중에서, 3 W 레이저 절삭군이 가장 높은 미세인장결합강도를 나타냈고, 다음이 Bur, 2 W, 4 W 절삭군 순이었다 (p<0.001). 4. Clearfil SE bond로 처리한 군 중에서 3 W 레이저 절삭군이 가장 높은 미세인장결합강도를 나타냈고, 다음이 2 W, 4 W, Bur 절삭군 순이었다 (p<0.001). 5. 두 가지 접착 시스템 모두에서, 레이저로 절삭한 군의 미세인장결합강도의 차이가 있었고, 높은 순서대로 나열하면 3 W, 2 W, 4 W 순이었다 (p<0.001). :상아질에 접착된 컴포지트 레진의 미세인장결합강도는 절삭방법과 접착시스템의 상호작용에 의해 유의한 영향을 받았다. 임상에서 레진 수복시, 2 W-3 W 범위내로 Er:YAG laser를 사용한다면 전통적 핸드피스 못지않게 수복물의 우수한 결합강도를 얻을 수 있다. 특히 시술시간의 단축, 과도한 산부식에 따른 부작용의 예방을 위해 Clearfil SE bond를 포함한 self etching system을 사용하고자 한다면 bur보다 Er:YAG laser를 이용한 삭제방법이 더 유용한 결합력을 제공할 것이다.

The laser forming process is a new flexible forming process without forming tools and external force, which is applied to various fields of industry. Especially, applications of the laser forming process focused on cutting, welding and marking process. In this paper, the laser bending process of sheet metal which is heated by laser beam and formed by internal stress is simulated by using thermo elastic-plastic analysis model. Based on the result of FE-analysis, the laser bending machine is made to obtain reliable data for sheet bending. Under the same condition as FE-analysis, the laser bending experiment has been performed to ver 펴 the result of FE-analysis and good agreement has been obtained between FE-analysis and experiments. Additional laser bending experiments have been performed to evaluate the laser bending machine.
