The finishing process for die is an important process because it has influence on final quality of products. Recently s study on development of 5-axis die automated finishing machine has been progressed. But die must be moved from the cutting machine to the die automated finishing machine. So manufacturing cost and time increase and machining error occurs by transfer. So, in this study, a 3-axis machining center was applied to die finishing. Because cutting tool can be changed to finishing tool by ATC, both of cutting and finishing process are possible on the machine. However, this application results in the decrease of finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. So this study focused on the generation of finishing tool path suitable to 3-axis die finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. The form accuracy evaluation is performed by the measurement of removal depth using a stylus profilometer. From the result, it is confirmed that form accuracy was improved less than 2$\mu$m of removal depth error.

In this study, it is experimented to find factors effecting surface roughness using the system of experiments. in the mirror surface finishing system. (1) The film feed and oscillation frequency in $40{\mu}m$ abrasive film, grinding speed in $30{\mu}m$, and machining time in $15{\mu}m$15 are the main factors effecting the surface roughness. (2) Applying the optimal finishing condition to $40{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$, $15{\mu}m$ abrasive finishing film in sequence, it is possible to obtian about Ra 10 nm surface roughness on SM45C workpiece. (3) Application of the system of experments to the micro abrasive grain film finishing was very effective method in the extraction of main factor and optimal condition.

Automatic finishing process requires the development of high efficient and precision abrasive machining method for dies and molds. This study describes the evaluation of the finishing characteristics, such as surfrace roughness, topography and material removal depth of the electrolytic mixed abrasive machining methods. Experimental setup is composed of 3 axis machining center, a newly developed finishing attachment with constant pressure, electrode and electrolytic bath. Finally, we achieved a successful result that surface roughness is $0.01\mu$m Ra and material removal depth is $120\mu$m using electrolytic(0.8A. 30V) mixed abrasive (#400 CBN, #320 SiC) machining method.

The finishing process for die is an important process because it has influence on final quality of products. And it is difficult to automatize finishing process so that the process has depended on expert's skill until now. However, recently a study on development of die automatic finishing machine has been progressed, and actually this machine is applied to fabrication of die. But die automatic finishing machine has the problems such as low supply rate and high machine price. In this paper 3-axis machine was applied to the die finishing. And to improve form accuracy of die finishing path was regenerated. The finishing path considered tilting of finishing tool. and variation of machining force with contacting point between finishing and workpiece.

Utomatic finishing process requires the development of high efficient and precision abrasive machining method for die and molds. This study describes the evaluation of the finishing characteristics, such as sufrace roughness, topography and material removal depth, of the electrolytic chemical mixed abrasive machining method. Experimental setup is composed of 3 axis machining center, a newly developed finishing attachment with constant pressure, electrode and electrolytic bath. Finally, we achieved a successful result that surface roughness is 0.01 .mu. m Ra and material removal depth is 145 .mu. m after 100 times repeat-finishing using electrolytic (0.8A,30V) mixed abrasive (#400 CBN, #320 Sic) machining method.

A recently developed finishing process using rotating magnetic field is known to be very efficient for the finishing of parts such as vacuum tube, sanitary tube, etc., which are difficult to be finished by the conventional finishing methods as they are generally curbed tubes. But, the finishing system using rotating magnetic field have the defect that is the cross section of workpiece only circle because of internal rotating tool. Therefore, new finishing process of the workpieces which cross section are not circle is important and required. magnetic abrasive jet machining is a new concept finishing process. It is the precision internal finishing method using working fluid mixed with magnetic abrasives, which is jetted into the internal surface of tube. And magnetic poles are equipped on external surface of tube. In this study new concept finishing process or, magnetic abrasive jet machining system was developed. machining condition was predicted using simulation and some characteristics of the finishing process was analyzed.

The finishing process for dies and molds is directly related to finished surface quality, but many parts of process depend on human labor which needs much time and value. So automatic finishing machine has been produced for dies and molds, and applied widely for finishing process. Conventionally finishing machine has applied resin bonded finishing pad as a tool, but the removal ability of pad decreases greatly as finishing process goes on. In the finishing mechanism for dies and molds, finishing process is affected severely by cutting process, so can be divided into removing cusp and smoothing surface process. So, this study investigated the application of cast iron bonded diamond pellet for press dies, which is considered to have better characteristics than the other metal bonded pellets. The finishing characteristics were compared the between finishing pellet and pad. And finishing performance was appraised as the several cutting surfaces.

This paper describes a new surface finishing process which uses magnetic abrasive polishing. This is applied to automatic finishing of die & mold surface. Nowadays, most of die & mold meanufaturing procedures have been automated by the introduction of NC machine tool and CAD/CAM system. But the surface finishing of die & mold must be done by hand work of well-skilled workers. Though many attempts were tried in the past 15 years to eliminate this hand work, the automatic finishing of die & mold surface with 3D curvature has not been achieved yet. New magnetic abrasive finishing process is thought as one of the possible methods for the automation of 3D surface finishing. In order to improve the grindability of the method, ultra-high speed and 5-axis machining was introduce. The magnetic abrasive polishing which has adopted these methods was confirmend to improve the efficiencyof die & mold surface finishing.
