As consumer's desire becomes various, agility of mold manufacturing is most important factor for competence of manufacturer. In common works to use commercial CAM system to generate tool path, some decision making process is required to produce optimal result of CAM systems, The paper proposes a methodology for computer-assisted tool selection procedures for various cutting type, such as rough, semi-rough and finish cuts. The system provides assist-tool-items for machining of design model part of injection meld die by analyzing sliced CAD model of die cavity and core. Also, the generating NC-code of the tool size is used to calculate machining time. The system is developed with commercial CAM using API. This module will be used for optimization of tool selection and planning process.

The application of focused ion beam (FIB) technology in micro/nano machining has become increasingly popular. Its use in micro/nano machining has advantages over contemporary photolithography or other micro/nano machining technologies such as small feature resolution, the ability to process without masks and being accommodating for a variety of materials and geometries. In this research, fabrication of micro plasma electrode was carried out using FIB. The one of problems of FIB-sputtering is the redeposition of material including Ga+ ion source during sputtering process. Therefore the effect of the redeposition was verified by EDX. And the micro plasma electrode of copper was fabricated by FIB.

본 논문에서는 선삭가공을 부품에 대한 가공 특징형상 추출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 면저, 설계 특징형상과 가공 특징형상 을 효율적으로 나타내기 위한 데이터 구조를 설계하고, 선삭가공에 사용되는 가공 특징형상의 특성을 검토하였다. 이러한 특성 을 이용하여 주사선(Scan Line)과의 교점으로부터 가공 특징형상을 이루는 요소를 검색하고, 검색된 구성요소를 이용하여 가공 특정형상을 구성하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 알고리즘은 기존에 사용되어 왔던 패턴비교 방법에서 주어지 패턴이외의 특징 형상을 추출하기가 어렵고 계산 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점을 극복하였다. 또한 기존의 방법으로는 해결되기 어럽던 가공 특징 형상 의 간섭의 검출에서 효율적으로 적용됨을 확인하였다.

The paper presents an efficient computation of optimal tool length for 5-axis mold & die machining. The implemented procedure processes an NC file as an initial input, where the NC data is generated by another commercial CAM system. A commercial CAM system generates 5-axis machining NC data which, in its own way, is optimal based on pre-defined machining condition such as tool-path pattern, tool-axis control via inclination angles, etc. The proper tool-length should also be provided. The tool-length should be as small as possible in order to enhance machinability as well as surface finish. A feasible tool-length at each NC block can be obtained by checking interference between workpiece and tool components, usually when the tool-axis is not modified at this stage for most CAM systems. Then the minimum feasible tool-length for an NC file consisting of N blocks is the maximum of N tool-length values. However, it can be noted that slight modification of tool-axis at each block may reduce the minimum feasible tool-length in mold & die machining. This approach can effectively be applied in machining feature regions such as steep wall or deep cavity. It has been implemented and is used at a molding die manufacturing company in Korea.

최근 기계가공은 제품생산의 리드타임(lead time)의 단축 및 가공시간 단축을 통하여 비용을 절감하고 생산성을 극대화하는데 초점이 맞춰지고 있다. 고속가공(HSM： high-speed machining)은 별도의 연마 공정 없이 그 자체로 고품위, 고정도의 가공물을 생성하여 공정을 축소시키며, 가공시간을 단축시켜 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이러한 고속가공에 있어서 가공특성은 공작기계의 특성, 공구 및 가공조건뿐만 아니라 제품 형상 등의 다양한 요인에 의해 결정되어진다.(중략)

This paper deals with the development of setup planning for Automated FIXture planning system(AFIX) which selects setups, setup sequence and operation sequence in each setup according to the machining mode. In AFIX, part type considered is prismatic workpiece that use the 3-2-1 locating system as the general structure of the fixture. The heuristic algorithms selecting setup and setup sequence are based on DDR(Degree of Dimensional Relationship), AMV(Admissible Misalignment Value) and machining sterategy and feature attributes. A case example is given to illustrate the performance fo AFIX.

Machining is the commonly used process in the manufacturing of prototypes. This process offers several advantages, such as rigidity of the machine, precision of the machine, precision of the operation and specially a quick delivery. The weight and immobility of the machine support and immobilize the part during the operation. However, despite these advantages it shows, machining still presents several limitations. The immobilization, location and support of the part are referred to as fixturing or workholding and present the biggest challenge for time efficient machining. So it is important to select and design the appropriate fixturing assembly. This assembly depends on the complexity of the part and the tool paths and may require the construction of dedicated fixtures. With traditional techniques, the range of fixturable shapes is limited and the identification of suitable fixtures in a given setup involves complex reasoning. To solve this limitation and to apply the automation, this paper presents the Reference Free Part Encapsulation(RFPE) and implementation of the encapsulation system. The feature-based modeling system and the encapsulation system are implemented. The small part of which it is difficult to find out the appropriate fixturing assembly is made by this system.

As 3D solid modeling prevails, a range of applications have become possible and intensive research on the integration of CAD/CAM has been conducted. As a consequence, methods to recognize the machining features from CAD models have been developed. On the other hand, generating a machining sequence using the machining features is still a problem due to a combinatorial problem with a large number of machining features. This paper proposes a new method that utilizes the precedence constraints through which the number of the combinations is reduced drastically. This method can automatically generate machining sequences requiring the lowest amount of machining time. An airplane part was used to test the usefulness of the proposed method.
