In this study, the inclined endmilling process with a 3-axis machining center using inalined jigs is introduced for the purpose of reducing overall Dies/Molds machining time and improving the machining accuracies. In order to analyse the cutting mechanism of a given endmill more accurateky, the unification of the cutting mechanism model of 3-different-kind endmills is examined by using the mose radius as a parameter. By adding radial runouts as a parameter which influences on surface roughness, the superposition method which defines the effective cusp heigh superposing the cutter mark height and the conventional cusp height is modified. And 3-D surface topography predicted in this paper looks like the surface normally observed in practice. Through machining experiments, the adequacy of the superposition algorithm was confirmed.

In end milling process the underformed chip thickness and the cutting force components very periodically with phase change of the tool. In this study, up end milling process is transformed to the equivalent oblique cutting. The varying underformed chip thickness and the cutting force components in end milling process are replaced with the equivalent average ones. Then it can be possible to analyze the chip-tool friction and shear process in the shear plane of the end milling process by the equivalent oblique cutting mode. According to this analysis, when cutting Inconel 718.61% of the total energy is consumed in the shear process and the balance is consumed in the friction process.

The use of CBN tool material has been greatil increased because of the superior metal cutting performance for the machining of hardened steels. This paper presents some experimental results on the ball endmilling of hardened steels. Three different hardnesses of STB-11 workpieces were machined using CBN ball endmills, and the machining charteristics including cutting forces, tool wear, and surface roughness of machined surface were compared. It has been found that the CBN ball endmill works better in the machining of harder workpieces. The microscopic examination explains that this unusual phenomenon is cause by the difference of microstructure of each workpieces.

The stiffness of multi-articulated industrial robots is very weak, because their structure is an articulated type with some links and joints. Thus it is known that cutting processes for metals are not accepted in machine shop well, but they have a lot of merits for cutting processes, for example. drilling, tapping. and engraving etc., because of the characteristics of their high degree of freedom. The temptation of cutting aluminium was carried out to investigate the feasibility and the limitations or constrains for cutting metals on them. First the mode shapes of 6-axes FANUC welding robot were taken and analysed, and next the cutting processes were practically carried out on it. The results of study were found out to show the feasibility of cutting processes at end-milling under 6mm of tool diameter. as well as to have some limitations and constrains, for examples, surface roughness and feed rate, depth of cut, cutting force etc..

Ultraprecision machining process and MEMS technology have been taken more and more important position in machining of micro parts such as PDP and IT components, as the application field of micro parts increases. A micro machining center is very effective equipment for the fabrication of micro parts, because of its benefits such as lower power consumption, high precision and lower machining cost. Therefore, we study the possibility of application to the micro machining of barrier ribs used in PDP and also analyse the machining characteristics. The fabricated barrier rib has 30~$200\mu\textrm{m}$ pitch and was made by the flat endmill with the diameter of 0.2mm, 40, 000rpm condition.

End-milling is intermittent cutting process performed by a tool with a number of teeth. Its cutting forces are commonly measured by the tool dynamometer which has rectangular coordinates. In this case, the pattern of cutting forces is different according to cutting conditions. At a certain cutting condition, the sign of cutting force changes from positive to negative during a revolution of one tooth. The change of force direction excites a cutting tool and severe vibration arises when radial depth of cut increases. In this study, cutting experiments and simulations were carried out in order to explain the cause of the change of the cutting force direction. In addition, the effect of the cutting force change was discussed in terms of chatter vibration in end milling.

This paper deals with the study on the culling characteristics in ball-end milling process. First of all, the effects of the geometric cutting conditions such as the spindle speed, feedrates on the surface integrity and machining stability were evaluated by the analytical and the experimental approaches. A large amount of experimental sets are performed to evaluate the effects of chatter phenomenon on the machined surface. The optical microscope and the surface roughness measuring machine are used to measure the surface integrity and roughness of the machined surfaces.

When machining of a free-form surface with a ball endmill it is very important to select proper cutting conditions considering the geometrical shape of a workpiece to make the production more effective and reduce the machining time. Even though the same cutting conditions and materials are used, the cutting system of different geometry part machining shows the different static/dynamic characteristics. In this study, through various cutting experiments, we can construct the data base of stable cutting conditions for the machining of a Zine Alloy. We can get some relational plots between the optimal feedrates and classified shape features and parameters. On the basis of these results, we can develop the feedrate optimization program OptiCode. The developed program make it possible to reduce the cutting time and increase the machining accuracies.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) has been used many industries aerospace, automobile, medical device and building material industries, etc. Because it is lighter than other metals and has good properties, such as rigidity, strength and wear. CFRP may be cured integrity. However, it needs postprocessing similar to drilling or endmilling for shape cutting and combination of various material. In this paper, tool dynamometer and accelerometer used to signal analysis for machining properties under various cutting conditions and tool shape changes. In addition, microscope used to verify the machined CFRP surface. As the results, it was found that the cutting force and the vibration were decreased in the increasing of cutting edge (2-flute < 4-flute < composite tool), and the good machined surface can be obtained in this experiments.

The needs to machine hardened steels with high productivity and good surface integrity have been increased in the dies ＆ molds industry. This paper presents some experimental results on the CBN ball endmilling for hardened tool steel. This investigation concerns on the effects of cutting speed and cutting fluids on the cutting performance such as cutting forces, tool wear, and surface finish. The wear of CBN ball endmill for each cutting conditions were also examined through the microscopic observation. It has been found out that the higher cutting speeds with cutting fluids result in better cutting performance.
