Two rotational motions of the 5-axis machine tool maximize the degree of freedom of the tool axis vector, which improves tool accessibility; however, this lowers feed speed and rigidity, which impairs machining stability. In addition, cutting efficiency is lowered when compared with a flat end mill because typically, the ball-end mill is used when machining by rotational motion. This study increased cutting efficiency by using a corner radius flat end mill during impeller roughing. Furthermore, we proposed a fixed controlled machining of the rotary motion using geometric shape information to improve the feed speed and machining stability. Finally, we proposed a finishing tool path generation method using a vector net to increase the convenience and practicality of tool path generation. To verify its effectiveness, we compared the machining time, shape accuracy, and surface quality of the proposed method and an existing dedicated module.

The analysis of acoustic emission signals generated during machining has been proposed as a technique for studying both the fundamentals of the cutting process and process and as a methodology for detecting tool fracture on line. In this study, AE signals detected during End Milling were applied as the experimental test to sensing tool fracture on the CNC vertical milling machine. Because automatic monitoring of the cutting condition is one of the most important technologies in machining, the in-process detection of cutting tool life including fracture has been investigated by performing experimental test.

A dynamic model for the cutting process in the end milling process is developed. This model, which describes the dynamic response of the end mill, the chip load geometry including tool runout, the dependence of the cutting forces on the chip load, is used to predict the dynamic cutting force during the end milling process. In order to predict accurately cutting forces and tool vibration, the model, which uses instantaneous specific cutting force, includes both regenerative effect and penetration effect. The model is verified through comparisons of model predicted cutting force with measured cutting forces obtained from machining experiments.

This paper presents the effects of the tool shape on the geometrical characteristics of flat end-milled side walls. A tool shape is characterized by such parameters as helix angle, number of cutting edges, and diameter. The geometrical characteristics of the side walls are represented by the surface profiles in the feed and axial directions, which are orthogonal to each other. The geometrical defects in each direction are estimated based on the instantaneous apparent cutting areas, which are represented by the interference area between the tool and workpiece and that between the cutting edge and workpiece. It is confirmed that a geometrical defect in the feed direction is formed when the tool leaves the workpiece and the curvature of the tool path changes. Defects in the axial direction are also found in the side walls, except for the defect zone in the feed direction. An up-cut using an end-mill with a steeper helix angle, a greater number of cutting edges, and a smaller diameter are thus found to improve the geometrical accuracy of end-milled side walls.

Ball end mills used for high-speed and high-precision machining require longer machining time than flat end mills or face cutters, since the tool diameter is limited and the rigidity is reduced by the characteristics of the tool's cutting edge: at the top end of the tool, the cutting speed approaches zero and hardly removes any material. Because there is little material removal at the top end of the ball end mill, the outer cutting edge performs the majority of the work; this irregular cutting force deforms the tool and shortens its life. In this study, we attached an eddy-current sensor to a tool to measure the deformation from the cutting force and we used a tool dynamometer to measure the cutting force. We found that the change in cutting force is dependent on the change in feed rate during square-shaped processing and, as the feed rate is accelerated, the cutting force also increases. Higher cutting forces increase tool deformation.

Techniques of tool posts are developing such that variable machining is possible using only one machine for the complication of a product's shape and to reduce the machining time. In order to develop a mill turret with a variable machining function with the mounting of mill turret units on a B-axis tilting table, we determine the static/dynamic stability of the structure of the mill turret. To this end, a static structural analysis and a modal analysis were conducted. From the results of the static structural analysis, the maximum stress was found to be less than the allowable stress. By the comparing the results of the modal analysis of the excitation frequencies of the mill turret, there were no resonance regions found. Therefore, the mill turret with the B-axis tilting facility is shown to have good structural integrity.

In this research, we examine the change of dimensional accuracy in the cutting process while changing cutting conditions such as feed rate and spindle rotational speed with chromium molybdenum steel (SCM415) material and TiCN- and TiAlN-coated end mill tools. According to dimensional accuracy measurement, TiCN-coated tool displays the most accurate dimensional tolerance at ${\varnothing}20mm$ at feed rates of 200 mm/min and 250 mm/min at a spindle rotation speed of 4,000 rpm. The largest dimension of the coating tool was able to make the TiAlN-coated tool suitable when comparing the smallest dimension.

In this research, we try to study the change of squareness in the cutting process while changing cutting conditions such as feed rate and spindle rotational speed with chromium molybdenum steel (SCM415) material and TiCN, TiAlN coated end mill tool. The TiCN coating tool had the best straightness at 4,000 rpm at a feed rate of 200 mm/min. The TiAlN coating tool was best measured at 3,000 rpm at a feed rate of 200 mm/min. TiAlN coated tools had excellent dimensional tolerance when comparing the coating tool specifics.

The roll gap set-up in the finishing mill is one of the most important technologies in the hot plate rolling process. As the target thickness can be obtained by the correct set-up of the roll gap, improving the roll gap set-up technology is very critical for plate thickness accuracy. The main cause of thickness variation in hot plate mills is the non-uniform temperature distribution along the length of the slab. The objective of this study is to adjust the roll gap set-up for the thickness accuracy of plate in hot rolling process considering top-end temperature drop. Therefore this study has concentrated on determining the correct amounts of thickness variation according to top-end temperature drop and roll gap to compensate thickness variation. The control method of roll gap set-up which can improve the thickness accuracy was proposed. The off-line simulation of compensated roll gap significantly decreases top-end thickness variation.

Recently, several studies are being conducted to achieve a curvature of 180° or more for the edge of the display glass. The thermocompression molding process is applied to the manufacture of curved glass, and high hardness G5 graphite is used as the mold material to withstand the impact applied to the mold. G5 graphite has high hardness and strong brittleness, which makes tool wear and surface damage easy during machining. Therefore, the demand for diamond-coated tools with good mechanical properties is increasing in the G5 machining field. In this study, the optimal cutting conditions and machinability of a nanodiamond (NCD) coated ball end mill being developed by a tool manufacturer were analyzed and evaluated. For this purpose, the same test was performed on the microdiamond (MCD) coated ball end mill and compared together. In summary, the machinability of MCD and NCD coated tools showed better cutting performance at a cutting speed of 282 m/min, a feed rate of 1,400 mm/min, and a radial depth of cut of 0.08 to 0.1 mm.
