Spinning is a chipless forming method for producing axially symmetric parts by using axial-radial motions of a spinning roller. This process has still some advantages in such a view point that a variety of complex shapes which can not be formed in a press can be easily spun at a low cost although it is one of the oldest forming methods for spinning mainly cookware parts for a long time. This study is to investigate the optimum roller path in order to obtain the maximum spinnability in producing cylindrical cups of Aluminum(A1050-H16) sheet metal. Working conditions applicable to any size of blank were predetermined through preliminary spinning tests. 9 types of roller path were proposed and experiments were carried out. The modified involute curve was shown to give the maximum drawing ration and more uniform quality of spun cups as compared with other results of this study. in addition thickness distribution and dimensional accuracy of spun cups were examined and discussed.

Many researchers have, nowadays, studied on spinning which can produce highly qualified products by CNC spinning machine equipped with hydraulic devices. The products have continuous metal flow which improves fatigue life, yield point, tensile strength and hardness. This study is to investigate the influence of various working conditions on the spinnability of cylindrical cups such as feed rate(ν), feed pitch(p), angle of roller holder(α), and the inclination angle of first roller path. Through experiments the feed rate of (0.4∼0.7) mm/rev was shown to give the drawing ratio of 2.5 when the angle of roller holder was 5°, However, by increasing the angle of roller holder from 5°to 20°, the range of feed rate which can produce deeper cups became wider and the spinnability was also improved. The optimum working conditions, for the maximum formability of aluminum sheet metal as well as dimensional accuracy of spun cups, are presented and discussed.

In this study, a research for process design in bending of structural frame of AA6061-T6 with rubber pad was conducted. In this process, the conventional lower die made of metal is replaced with a polyurethane pad, resulting in high flexibility during bending. Vulcanized polyurethane rubber with shore A hardness of 60 was used for the pad. Experiments on a newly developed bending machine were carried out by controlling the stroke of the roller and horizontal movement of roller pad lower die. From this, the relation between roller path and geometry of the materials bent was obtained for the process design of producing roof rail part of a passenger car and the experimental result was compared with the target profile. For more accurate process design, it is required to control the roller path interactively. Based on the experience in developing the prototype bending machine, it is construed that a fully automated bending system with rubber pad to produce various light-weight components for automotive body frames can be successfully developed.

The flow turning process, an incremental forming process, is a cost-effective forming method for axi-symmetric intricate parts to net shape. However, the flow turning process shows a fairly complicated deformation, it is very difficult to obtain satisfactory results. Therefore extensive experimental and analytical research has not been carried out. In this study, an fundamental experiment was conducted to improve productivity with process parameters such as tool path, angle of roller holder($\alpha$), feed rate(v ) and comer radius of forming roller(Rr). These factors were selected as variables in the experiment because they were most likely expected to have an effect on spring back. The clearance was controlled in order to achieve the precision product which is comparable to deep drawing one. And also thickness and diameter distributions of a multistage cup obtained by flow turning process were observed and compared with those of a commercial product produced by conventional deep drawing.

The spinning is a very effective manufacturing technology for short production runs in a variety of sizes and shapes, because it can form the cross-section or tubular parts various shapes. However extensive experimental and analytical research has not been carried out. In this study, and fundamental experiment was conducted to improve productivity with process parameter such as tool path, angle of roller holder(a), feed rate(v) and corner radius of forming roller(Rr). These factors were selected as variables in the experiment because they were most likely expected to have and effect on spring back. The clearance was controlled in order to achieve the precision product which is comparable to deep drawing one. And also thickness and diameter distribution of a multistage cup obtained by shear spinning process were observed and compared with those of a commercial product produced by conventional deep drawing.

The vertical roller mill is important for machine grinding and mixing various crude materials in the process of producing Portland cement. A vertical roller mill is subjected to cyclic bending stress because of the roller load. Because of the cyclic bending stress, only $4{\times}10^6-8{\times}10^6$ cycles are achieved instead of $4{\times}10^7$ cycles. The stress also causes fractures at the edge of grinding path of the outer roller. The expenses incurred in repairing the grinding path amounts to 30% of the total maintenance cost. Therefore, it is desirable to redesign the vertical roller mill in order to reduce the expenses incurred in repairing the roller. In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) were applied in order to solve the multiobjective optimization problem for vertical roller mills by using the function approximation ability of ANNs. To learn and generalize ANNs, the maximum and minimum stresses were estimated from the results of the finite-element analysis of a vertical roller mill. Thus, ANNs could be applied to solve the multiobjective optimization problem.

The vertical roller mill is the important machine grinding and mixing various crude materials in the manufacturing process of portland cement. Table liner is one of grinding elements of vertical roller mill and is subjected to the cyclic bending stress by rollers load and the centrifugal force by rotation of table.

In recent years, RGM(roller gear mechanism) systems, wherein one of the gears of a meshing gear pair is replaced with pins or rollers, have been reintroduced, which is a consequence of, and therefore a reflection of, the rapid advances made in manufacturing technology. Three RTG(roller track gear) systems for arbitrary path transportation (e.g., L-, O-, U-, and S-shaped tracks) were constructed using two out of three RGM systems, namely, the CRP(cam rack pinion), CRG(cam ring gear), and RPG(roller pinion gear) systems, and are introduced in this paper. We also present three ways to prevent the intersection and non-contact phenomena at the teeth in the vicinity of the conversion point between two joined RGM systems.
