항공기에 사용하는 제트엔진을 생산하기 위해서는 고도의 절삭가공 기술이 필요하다. 항공기 엔진 가공업체들은 가공 시 발생할 수 있는 오류들을 방지하기 위해, CAM(computer-aided manufacturing) 기술을 도입하였다. 그러나 CAM 모델 생성을 위해서는, 작업자가 수 일에서 수 주 동안 CAD 모델을 기반으로 가공 연산을 일일이 생성해야 하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 CAD 모델로부터 구멍 가공 부분에 대한 CAM 모델의 자동 생성 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 CAD 모델에서 구멍 특징형상을 인식하고 이를 CATIA 의 가공 연산으로 변환하는 방법을 적용하였다. 또한 프로토타입 시스템의 구현을 통해 제안한 방법을 실험 및 검증하였다.

This paper presents an automatic fixture planning system for machining processes of prismatic parts. A rationalized approach to integrate fixture planning with process planning is proposed and representation schemes for workpiece, part design information with features, machine tools, cutting tools and fixtures are developed. The proposed system implements two activities of fixture planning such as machining of reference surfaces and machining of features. For machining of reference surfaces, the machining sequence of reference surfaces is determined by using decision tables, which are drawn from relations of part dimension, degree of surface roughness, fixture type and its capacity, cutting tool's capacity and experienced planners' knowledge. For machining of features, a preferential machining orientation is selected for its feature which can be machined in more than one direction, and features with the same machining orientation are grouped, and the machining sequence of features is determined by interactive mode. A case study is performed to show the performance of the proposed system.

Extracting the process planning information from the CAD data is the key issue in integrated CAD/CAM system. In this paper, we develop algorithms for extracting the shape and setup configuration for NC machining of prismatic parts. In determining the workpart shape, the minimum-enclosing condept is applied so that the material waste is minimized. To minimize the number of setups, feature based algorithm is developed considrint the part shape, tool shape, and tool approach direction. The validity and effectiveness of the developed algorithms were tested by computer simulations.

This paper deals with some critical activities of CAPP system such as generation of part description database, part feature recognition, process and operation selection, and sequencing method for turning operation of symmetric rotational parts. The part description database is generated by data conversion module from CAD data, and the part feature is recognized by using both pattern primitives and feature recognition rules. Machining processes and operations are selected based on machining surface features and its sequence is determined by rules acquired from process planning expert. AutoCAD is employed as CAD system and computer program is developed by using Turbo-C on IBM PC/AT compatible system.

Feature-based NC machining, which requires high quality of 3D CAD model, is widely used in machining aircraft structural part. However, there has been little research on how to automatically detect the CAD model errors. As a result, the user has to manually check the errors with great effort before NC programming. This paper proposes an automatic CAD model errors detection approach for aircraft structural part. First, the base faces are identified based on the reference directions corresponding to machining coordinate systems. Then, the CAD models are partitioned into multiple local regions based on the base faces. Finally, the CAD model error types are evaluated based on the heuristic rules. A prototype system based on CATIA has been developed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Recently, the need for micro mold or micro mechanical parts has been rapidly increased. As feature size decreases, conventional machining processes show their limitation. Micro electrical discharging machining (EDM) and electrochemical machining (ECM) have many advantages in micro machining. They can be used to make structures of micro scale, or even nano scale size. In this paper, the application of micro EDM and ECM has been investigated.

A macro-level CAPP system is proposed to plan the complicated mechanical prismatic parts efficiently. The system creates the efficient machining sequence of the features in a part by analyzing the feature information. Because the planning with the individual features is very complicated, feature groups are formed for effective planning using the nested relations of the features of a part, and special feature groups are determined for sequencing. The process plan is generated based on the sequences of the feature groups and features. When multiple machines are required, efficient machine assignment is performed. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it.

Ultrasonic machining has been known as one of the conventional machining methods in the glass fabrication processes. In ultrasonic machining, typically, glass is removed by the impulse energy of the abrasive generated by the ultrasonic power. However, when the machining feature decrease under hundreds of micrometers, as conventional ultrasonic machining uses only the impulse energy of the abrasive, the speed of ultrasonic machining decreases significantly and the surface roughness becomes deteriorated. To overcome this size effect, the chemicals which can erode glasses, such as HF, XF, etc, are added to the slurry. The chemical-assisted ultrasonic machining method, so called, is another alternating effective way for micro machining of glasses. In previous work, we used the hydrofluoric acid (HF) as an additive chemical. But, as the HF solution is too poisonous to be used as a ultrasonic process additive, it is needed to be substituted by other safe chemicals. As results of the machinability comparison of several chemicals, the GST-500F was selected to replace the HF. The GST-500F (pH $4.0{\pm}1.0$) is non-volatile, odorless. During experimental works, it was shown that the machining rate increases 1.5 times faster than the conventional ultrasonic machining. The machining load also decreases. However, the enlargement of the hole diameter and significant tool wear are still the problems to be solved.

The purpose of this paper is to establish an effective inspection system by using OMM (On-Machine Measurement) system based PC-NC. This system can reduce manufacturing lead time because a workpiece is inspected at every machining process and the manufacturing system which includes inspection faculty is able to realize on-line process on CNC machining center. The proposed OMM system is composed of a few algorithms for determination of inspection parameters. It is accomplished by determining the number of measuring points, their location, measuring path using fuzzy logic, Hammersley's method, TSP (Traveling Salesperson Problem) algorithm. The inspection feature applied to this system is based on machining feature. This method is tested by simulation and experiment that are analyzed measuring data and geometry tolerance.

In mechanical cutting process, burr was generated at workpiece by cutting tool generally. It is working disturbance during manufacturing process. Besides burr was taken shape relatively large size more micro scale machining than macro scale machining. Many researches have been studied to remove micro burr(de-burring), because it was negative effect for accuracy of machining shape. However, micro de-burring was constrained by burr height, micro feature and so on. In this paper, experimental research was carried out to compare de-burring characteristics of $Al_2O_3$ abrasive and polymer.
