The development of flexible automation in the manufacturing industry is concerned with production activities performed by unmanned machining system A major topic relevant to metal-cutting operations is monitoring toll wear, which affects process efficiency and product quality, and implementing automatic toll replacements. In this paper, the measurement of the cutting force components has been found to provide a method for an in-process detection of tool wear. The static com-ponents of cutting force have been used to detect flank wear. To eliminate the influence of variations in cutting conditions, tools, and workpiece materials, the force modeling is performed for various cutting conditions. The normalized force dis-parities are defined in this paper, and the relationships between normalized disparity and flank were are established. Final-ly, artificial neural network is used to learn these relationships and detect tool wear. According to proposed method, the static force components could provide the effective means to detect flank wear for varying cutting conditions in turning operation.

Evaluation of cutting condition is one of the most important aspect to improve productivity and quality. In this study, the wear and cutting characteristics(cutting force, acoustic emission signal and surface roughness) of ceramic cutting tool for hardened die material(SKD11) were investigated by experiment. Flank wear on relief face of tool was occurred more dominant than crater wear on rake face. Experiments were performed under the various cutting condition.

Currently, due to the development of technology, the industry is proceeding with the development of advanced materials with high performance such as light weight, heat resistance and electric conductivity. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) is an excellent material with high heat resistance, high strength and thermal shock resistance. In order to obtain excellent hole shape in CFRP drilling, we compared the modified drill shape and the conventional carbide drill. On the other hand, we determine the proper helix angle by observing the CFRP surface according to the helix angle at the trimming of the end mill proceeding after the hole machining.

In order to improve the cutting ability of face mill, a model for optimal cutter shape was developed to minimize resultant cutting force by combing cutting force model and optimal technique. Wear test and surface roughness test for optimized and conventional cutter were performed. The new optimized cutter shows longer tool life of 2.29 times than conventional cutter in light cutting condition and 2.52 times in heavy cutting condition. The surface roughness of workpiece by optimized cutter is improved in heavy cutting condition, but deteriorated in light cutting condition in comparison with conventional cutter. The surface profiles of workpiece were analyzed by Fourier transformation. The distribution of cut lay left on workpiece by optimized cutter is more regular than that by the conventional cutter.

Recently, environmental conscious machining becomes one of the most important technology in modern manufacturing industry. Especially in metal cutting, cutting fluid often results in many environmental problems. Many technologies have been developed to reduce the problems of the cutting fluid. But most of the technologies need another devices which sometimes require large space and also are very expensive, such as cooling system. In this paper, air compressor is only used to replace the functions of cutting fluid as semi-dry cutting. Cutting forces, cutting moments, and tool wear were measured to obtain cutting characteristics, and were compared with those of dry cutting and non-dry cutting. In the results of the experiments, semi-dry cutting was found to show better cutting performances than dry cutting and non-dry cutting.
