In this study, machinability of some aluminum-magnesium alloy are experimentally investigated using polycrystalline diamond tool with turning, and evaluated some independent cutting variables affected micrometal cutting characteristics as cutting force, specific cutting resistance, shear angles. To know the effect of cutting parameters of single point diamond machining, experiments were performed to measure cutting forces for high speed turning of aluminum alloy 6061-T6, SM45C and FC20 with poly- crystalline diamond and coated cemented carbide tool. Independent cutting variables were changed to a variety of cutting speed, feed rate, rake angles, material properties of workpiece and tool. Futhermore. Some useful informations are obtained in this study can guide micro metal cutting of aluminum alloy with diamond tool.

In this paper, a micro-turning lathe is introduced for micro machining of aluminum rod. To give feed motion, stepwise motion[2] actuators are used instead of the conventional inchworm mechanism. These are consisted of two Piezoelectric ceramics; one is for feeding the slider, and the other is for clamping the slider in the guide way of the body. The guide is V-form. The linearity and positional accuracy of the actuators is good enough far high precision motion. Since the system is more compact than the conventional system using three Piezoelectric ceramics, it is applicable for the micro-machine or MEMS unit. To fabricate the lathe, a small spindle unit with ball bearings of diameter of 10 millimeter is built-up on the top the slider. The motion is feed backed with miniaturized linear encoder attached each axis slider. The diamond tool bite is used for cutting tool. The machining is tried to make small diameter rod. The possible diameter that can be machined in this machine is presented as well as chip formation, surface roughness, and machinability.

Micro/Meso 기계적 가공은 기존 MEMS 공정에서 제작할 수 없었던 높은 세장비(aspect ratio)를 가지는 제품을 가공할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 보다 높은 가공 정밀도를 획득할 수 있다. 따라서, 미소 부품에 대한 마이크로/매소 단위의 미세 절삭 가공을 위해서는 공간적 측면과 에너지 소비, 정밀도 측면에서 효율적인 시스템을 구성하기 위해서 마이크로 머시닝 전용 기계가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 '마이크로 팩토리' 의 기본 공작기계인 마이크로 선반을 개발하여 초정밀 미소 절삭에 대한 연구를 진행 중에 있다.(중략)

Micro/meso cutting is getting more important in the fields of precision machining technology. A micro-turning lathe is one of parts to consist the Micro Factory. It accepts stepwise motion actuators that are used for feeding system instead of the conventional mechanism. It is consisted of two Piezoelectric ceramics; one is for feeding the slider, and the other is for clamping the slider in the guide way of the body. The linearity and positional accuracy of the actuators are good enough for high precision motion. The spindle unit is operated with DC motor on the top of the slider. The motion is communicated with miniaturized linear encoder attached on each side of axis. A mono crystal diamond tool is used for cutting tool. This micro-lathe has been made a machining experiment to see the characteristics of micro-machining.
