Compared to one made of glass, an aluminum mirror features light weight, compact design, low cost, and quick manufacturing. Reflective mirrors and supporting structures can be made from the same material, to improve the athermal performance of the system. With the rapid development of ultraprecise machining technologies, the field of applications for aluminum mirrors has been developed rapidly. However, most of them are rotationally symmetric in shape, and are used for infrared applications. In this paper, the design and manufacture of an off-axis aluminum mirror used for a three-mirror-anastigmat (TMA) optical system at visible wavelengths is presented. An optimized, lightweight design provides a weight reduction of more than 40%, while the surface deformation caused by earth's gravity can meet the required tolerance. The two pieces of an off-axis mirror can be diamond-turned simultaneously in one setup. The centrifugal deformation of the off-axis mirror during single-point diamond turning (SPDT) is simulated through the finite-element method (FEM). The techniques used to overcome centrifugal deformation are thoroughly described in this paper, and the surface error is reduced to about 1% of the original value. After post-polishing, the form error is $1/30{\lambda}$ RMS and the surface roughness is better than 5 nm Ra, which can meet the requirements for visible-light imaging.

Burr generation is inevitable during the machining of a micro-pattern, and it is difficult to distinguish between the pattern and burr because they have a very small dimensions. In this study, a micro-pattern with a pitch of $60{\mu}m$and height of $1{\mu}m$ was fabricated on a cylindrical surface using a turning machine. The structure of a burr and its generation mechanism were determined, and a magnetic abrasive deburring process was used to improve the accuracy of the pattern. As a result, when fabricating a micro-pattern, it was shown that the direction of the burr was determined by the feed direction of the tool. The measured pattern height was $1.018{\mu}m$ when the magnetic flux density and spindle speed were respectively 40 mT and 1600 rpm, respectively, during magnetic abrasive deburring, which were determined to be the optimal conditions for processing.

Owing to the development of CNC machine tools and automatic programing software, the milling process with ball-end mill has become the most widely used process where three-dimensional precision machining is important. In this study, the ball-end milling process has been analyzed and a cutting force model has been developed to predict the cutting force acting on the ball-end mill on given machining conditions. The development of the model is based on the analysis of geometry of a ball-end mill an the oblique cutting process. The cutting edges of ball-end mills are considered as a series of infinitesimal elements and the geometry of the cutting edge element each cutting edge element is straight. The oblique cutting process in the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as orthogonal cutting process in the plane containing the cutting velocity vector and chip-flow vector. Hence, with the orthogonal cutting data obtained from orthogonal turning test, the cutting forces can be predicted through the model. The predicted cutting forces has shown a fairly good agreement with the test results in various plane cutting conditions.

Unlike the roll-to-roll process that uses a steel roll and a nip roll, a vacuum roll can hold and transfer a thin film using a single roll. To precisely manufacture a vacuum roll, a thin outer cylinder must be machined, which is assembled on the outside of the roll and contacts the film via vacuum pressure. In this study, the effects of jaw width and chucking force on the deformation of the outer cylinder during the turning process were investigated using analysis, and a precision machining and burr removal process was developed. The deformation of the outer cylinder decreased almost linearly with increasing jaw width and increased with higher chucking force and larger cylinder diameter. Additionally, the deflection due to the weight of the outer cylinder was approximately three times greater than that caused by film tension. For the machined outer cylinder, a burr removal experiment was conducted, and concentricity and cylindricity were measured. Using a device that removes burrs by rotating a wheel connected to the main shaft at high speed, it was found that burrs generated on the inner diameter could be removed very efficiently. On the vacuum side, the concentricity errors of the inner and outer diameters were 0.015 mm and 0.014 mm, respectively, and on the opposite side, they were 0.006 mm and 0.010 mm, respectively. Additionally, the measurement of Total Indicator Runout (TIR) according to the angle showed that the maximum cylindricity of the outer and inner diameters was 0.02 mm and 0.025 mm, respectively. Finally, through burr-height measurement at the hole boundary, it was found that the heights were within 0.05 mm.

This paper describes the changes of shape accuracy in workpiece materials depending on the turning clearance angle. The experiments started from choosing three workpiece materials, SM45C(machine structural carbon steel), STS303(stainless steel) and SCM415 (chrome-molybdenum steel). The experiments showed specifically how features of selected materials changed when they were processed with diverse machining depths, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm, with various negative angles, $0.0^{\circ}(-6.0^{\circ})$, $0.3^{\circ}(-6.3^{\circ})$ and $0.9^{\circ}(-6.9^{\circ})$, and called cutting edge inclination starting from a fixed rotational speed, 2,500 rpm, focusing on the feed rate, 0.07 mm/rev and 0.10 mm/rev. The results of the accuracy of processing, cylindricity, deviation from coaxiality, etc. were compared using the graph and table. The accuracy of cylindricity in the order of degree $0.0^{\circ}{\rightarrow}0.3^{\circ}{\rightarrow}0.9^{\circ}$ depending on the workpiece materials showed the best cylindricity when it was $0.9^{\circ}$. In conclusion, the accuracy improved in specific degrees irrespective of the quality of the materials when the bite negative angles increased. This means that workability improved in these experiments. In addition, the processing shape changed depending on depth of the cut and feed rate.

비축 반사경의 DTM (Diamond Turning Machine) 가공을 하기 전에는 시간 및 비용의 절감을 위해 CNC(Computerized Numerically Controlled Machine Tools)를 이용하여 비축면의 곡률반경과 가장 유사한 형태의 구면으로 1차 가공 후 3축 이상을 제어할 수 있는 MC (Machining Center)를 이용하여 근사한 비축면을 먼저 가공한다. 이후 DTM으로 광학계에서 요구하는 형상 정밀도 및 표면 조도를 만족하는 비축면을 완성한다. 하지만 비축면을 가공하는 경우, 일반적인 축 대칭 광학계와 달리 가공장비에 장착된 기상계측기를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 외부 장비를 이용하여 반사경 표면을 측정해야한다. 이때 측정과 가공 단계 사이에서 정렬오차가 발생하여 반사경의 형상 정밀도 향상을 위한 보상가공에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 비축면 반사경의 가공과 측정 과정 사이에 발생하는 정렬오차를 최소화 할 수 있는 DTM 가공용 지그를 설계 및 제작하였다. 또, DTM으로 가공한 반사경의 측정값과 설계값을 비교하여 알루미늄 반사경의 광학 성능을 평가하였다. 이러한 성능 평가 결과는 비축면 반사경의 형상 보상가공을 위한 모델링 방법을 고안하는데에 있어 핵심 자료가 될 것이다.

가계가공은 절삭 부위의 냉각작용과 윤활작용을 위해 절삭유를 많이 소모한다. 절삭유는 염소계의 극압첨가제 등이 함유되어 있어 작업자들에게 유독할 뿐만 아니라 대기의 오염을 초래하여 청정생산을 저해하게 되므로 이런 전통적인 방법은 작업자의 직업병으로부터 보호와 환경보호를 위하여 새로운 가공방법으로 변경되어야만 한다. MQL 기계가공 방법은 절삭유를 아주 소량 소모하므로 청정생산을 위한 대안으로 떠오르고 있지만 많은 작업자들이 이에 대한 기술적인 확신이 부족하여 이 방식의 사용을 주저하고 있다. 본 연구는 MQL 가공 방식에서 가공의 특성을 파악하여 표면거칠기에 영향을 미치는 인자와 범위를 찾고자 다양한 실험을 계획하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 실험의 계획에서는 각 가공의 특성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 인자와 수준을 선정하고, 다양한 상황의 결과를 분석하여 MQL 가공의 특성과 최적의 가공조건을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 실험 및 분석의 결과로서, 절삭 파라미터와 그의 수준이 가공특성을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 적절히 선택된다면 MQL 기계가공은 표면거칠기 향상 및 원가절감이나 환경보호 측면에서 절삭유 윤활방식을 대체하는 green manufacturing을 위한 대안이 될 수 있음을 보였다.

A cylindrical capacitance-type spindle displacement sensor was developed and its effectiveness as a system to monitor cutting forces during hard turning was tested in this research. The sensor was installed between the face of spindle cover and the chucking element and measured pure radial motion of the spindle under the condition with presence of roundness error at measured surface. To prove the effectiveness of the developed system hard aiming tests using ceramic inserts and tool steel as workpiece were conducted. The workpiece was hardened up to 65 Rc. The variations of pure radial motion of the spindle ware measured during the cutting tests. The signals from the sensor showed the same pattern of cutting force variations from the tool dynamometer due to the progress of tool wear. As the flank wear of the ceramic tool increased both static component of cutting forces and the amount of center shift of spindle orbit increased, Results from the research showed that the developed sensor could be utilized as an effective and cheap on-line sensing device to monitor cutting conditions and tool performance in the un-manned machining center.

With a rapid development in the area of micro and ultra precision technology, the micro surface machining of small size parts are explosively increased. Especially, to improve efficiency of various beams in lens and reflector, non-rotational symmetric form and several mm level heights changeable surface can be machined at a time. These geometric complex 3D surface cannot be machined by general short stroke FTS. The long stroke FTS if firmly needed to move directly several mm and have nm level positioning accuracy for the complex surface form. The long stroke FTS used linear motors to drive moving unit long and fine, aero static bearings to decrease friction and moving errors in guide way, optical linear scale with nm level resolution to measure position of FTS. Furthermore, to increase the performance of acceleration of FTS, the light material, such as AL is used for the structure and the high stiffness box type structure is selected. In this paper, the genetic algorithm approach is described to determine a set of design parameters for auto tuning. The authors have attempted to model the design problem with the objective of minimizing the error, such as variable pattern change. This method can give the better alternative than existing other method.
