In order to monitor the tool wear in milling operation, cutting force is measured as the tool wear increased. The digital signal processing methods are used to detect the tool wear . As AR parameter extract the feature of tool wear , it can be used as input parameter of pattern classifier. The FFT monitor the tool wear exactly , but it can not do real time signal processing. The band energy method can be used to real time monitoring of tool wear ,but int can degrade the exact monitoring.

Using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged, 2-dimensional(2D) vibration in a excitation workpiece table was generated. In this study, micro milling using high frequency 2D vibration was proposed, whose locus of cutting tool is combined with original trochoid locus of milling tool and 2D elliptical locus of excitation table. From the cutting results of 2D vibrational micro milling of nickel alloy, it was observed that the machining quality and the roughness of machined surface were enhanced compared to conventional milling in a side cutting whose immersion ration is relatively low, whereas there was little betterment in a slot cutting.

In end milling process, undeformed chip thickness and cutting force vary periodically with phase change of the tool. Recently, a model has been proposed to simulate the shear and friction characteristics of an up-end milling process in terms of the equivalent oblique cutting to this. In the current study, the varying undeformed chip thickness and the cutting forces in a down-end milling process have been replaced with the equivalent ones of oblique cutting. And, the down-end milling characteristics of SM45C has been compared with that of the up-end milling previously presented with different helix angles.

The machining accuracy has been improved with the development of NC machine tools and cutting tools. However, it is difficult to obtain a high degree of accuracy when machining deep pocket with long end mill, since machining accuracy is mainly dependant on the stiffness of the cutting tool. To improve surface accuracy in machining deep pocket using end mill, the performance by down cut and up cut is compared theoretically and experimentally. To verify usefulness of up milling, various experiments were carried out. As a result, it is found that up milling produce more accurate surface than down milling in machining deep pocket. For effective application of up milling, various values in helix angle, number of teeth, radial depth of cut and axial depth of cut are applied in experiment.

End milling experiments are conducted to investigate characteristics of laser beam signals due to tool fracture. The laser beam signals are obtained with adapt focusing of tool. Tool states are identified wit h scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. It is demonstrated that the laser beam signals provide reliable informations about the cutting processes and tool states. Moreover, tool fracture can be detected successfully using coefficient of variation.

The effect of tool angles on the surface roughness in face milling is studied. First, the relation between tool angles and rotation angles is identified. Using this relationship, it is obtained that the projection of insert nose shape on cutting profile, which is a part of ellipse. The effect of spindle tilt is also considered for the tool angles. It si shown that tool angles along with nose radius and feed rate have an effect on surface roughness.

In the zigzag milling operation, an important issue is to design a machining strategy which minimizes the cutting time. An important variable for minimization of cutting time is the tool path length. The tool path is divided into cutting path and non-cutting path. Cutting path can be subdivided into tool path segment and step-over, and non-cutting path can be regarded as the tool retraction. We propose a new method to determine the cutting direction which minimizes the length of tool path in a convex or concave polygonal shape including islands. For the minimization of tool path length, we consider two factors such as step-over and tool retraction. Step-over is defined as the tool path length which is parallel to the boundary edges for machining area and the tool retraction is a non-cutting path for machining any remaining regions. In the determination of cutting direction, we propose a mathematical model and an algorithm which minimizes tool retraction length in complex shapes. With the proposed methods, we can generate a tool path for the minimization of cutting time in a convex or concave polygonal shapes including islands.

Verification of tool collision Is an important issue in die and mold machining. In this paper three functions of verification for 3-axis milling machining are schematically explained. Operators of geometric models are explained at first, which will be used in the functions of verification. The first verification function is getting a collision-free region when a tool assembly and a part surface model are given. The second function estimates the shortest length of cutter shank with that the tool cuts all of a region without collision The last one is cutting simulation considering all parts of tool assembly as well as cutter blade. Proposed approaches can be easily implemented by using several basic operators of geometric model. An example to calculate collision-free region is presented also.
