Position control of the electro-hydraulic servo indexing system in a flexible forging machine was investigated Flexible forging machine forges an axial type workpiece in the radial direction as well as in the axial direction. The role of the indexing system is to rotate a workpiece fast and accurately to a desired position for continuous shaping. Since the inertia of a workpiece changes during each forging step, a control technique which is robust to inertia variation should be adopted to the position control of the workpiece. In this study, time delayed control technique is applied to the servo system. Time delayed control method does not depend on estimation of specific parameters. Rather, it depends on the direct estimation of a function representing the effect of uncertainties. Direct estimation is accomplished using time delay and the gathered information is used to cancel the unknown dynamics is accomplished using disturbances simultaneously. Experimental result show that the time delayed controller is robust to inertia variation of the load, and satisfactory performance on the sposition accuracy is obtained compared to the contentional feedback control.

Non-uniform minute deformation of a cylinderical workpiece resulted from the heat treatment process prior to the grinding makes it diffeclt to control the approaching feedrate of a grinding wheelto a workpiece optimallywithout on-site detection of the grinding states in the plunge grinding. The 4-stage model of the plunge grinding process is proposed according to the state of contact between grinding wheel and workpiece ; precontact, partial contact, entire contact and spark-out. Despite of being scrious to the precision of workpiece finished, the duration of spark-out is determined empirically. The purpose of this research is to develop a monitoring/control system for saving non- production time and setting the optimal spark-out time based on sensor information in the plunge grinding using AE and ultra sonic sensor.

The aim of this study is to analyze turning process using commercial FEM simulation code. Various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process for 3 layers of metallic material have been simulated and analyzed. The workpiece material used for the orthogonal plane-strain metal cutting simulation consists of three layers, which are Allow Tool Steel, Aluminum and Stainless Steel. The finite element model is composed of a deformable workpiece and a rigid tool. The tool penetrates through the workpiece at a constant speed and constant feed rate. As an analytical result, detailed cutting temperature, strain, pressure, residual stress for both a tool and each layer of workpiece were obtained during the turning process. It has been closely observed that the chip flow curve deforms continuously.

Non-Parallelism the axial direction occurs during grinding process of long slender shafts. The reason for the axial error is due to elastic deformation of the components, accumulation phenomenon of the grinding and wheel wear during the grinding process. The accumulation phenomenon, the size generation mechanism and the wheel wear process during traverse grinding result in complicated process at each step on the wheel surface. The grinding system stiffness obtained from the stiffness of the center on the tailstock and the workpiece varing according to the relative position of the wheel and the workpiece. Further more, the value of wheel wear increases as the grinding process advances. The above mentioned issues make the shape generation process during traverse grinding quite complicated. This research analyzes the shape generation process in the direction of the work spindle. First, the formulation of the grinding system stiffness was conducted and the simulation analysis method of the traverse grinding was established. Also, a measuring system for assessing the dimensinal accuracy of the workpiece has been developed.

A reliable analytic model that determines the exit cross sectional shape a workpiece(material) in round-oval (oroval-round) pass sequence has been developed. The exit cross sectional shape of an outgoing workpiece is predicted by using the linear interpolation of the radius of curvature of an incoming workpiece and that of roll groovw to the roll axis direction. The requirements placed on the choice of the weighting function were to ensure boundary conditions specified. The validity of the analytic model has been examined by not rod rolling experiment with the roll gap and specimen size changed. The exit cross sectional shape and area of the workpiece predicted by the proposed analytic model were good agreement with those obtained experimentally. We found that the analytic model has not only simplicity and accuracy for practical usage but also save a large amount of computational time compared with finite element method.

In cutting system, relative displacement between rool and workpiece is very important. Even though there have been so many works for modeling cutting process of end-milling, most of them have considered only one displacement of either tool or workpiece instead of both. In this paper, the relative displacement between tool and workpiece is considered for modeling cutting process of end-milling using simple experimental modal analysis and cutting force simulation program is developed. In cutting force model, instantaneous uncut chip thickness model is used and Runge-Kutta method is used for the simulation of time varying cutting system.

The thermal deformation of a workpiece during grinding is one of the most important factors that affect a flatness of a grinding surface. The heat generated in one-pass surface grinding causes the convex deformation of a workpiece. Therefore, the ground durfae represents a concave profile. In the analysis a simple model of the temperature distribution, based on the results of a finite element method, is applied. Theanalyzed results are compared with experimental results in surface grinding. The main results obtained are as follows: (1) The temperature distribution of a workpiece by FEM has a good agreement with the experimental results. (2) The bending moment by generated heat causes a convex deformation of the workpiece and it leads to a concave profile of the grinding surface.

By generating 2-directional vibration in a xy plane of workpiece table, a newly developed micro drilling using 2-directional vibration was carried out. The vibration was produced by applying sinusoidal voltages to the orthogonally arranged piezoelectric materials built in the workpiece excitation table. Through the micro-drilling experiments using poly-carbonate and brass material, it was found that micro drilling using 2-directional vibration in a workpiece table could be an efficient method to enhance the form accuracy of machined workpiece by suppressing burr formation at both entry and exit region. A higher form accuracy could be obtained by increasing stiffness of feeding mechanism, decrease of geometric tolerance of combining jig, and development of high performance excitation table which generates amplified vibration at higher frequency.

A relatively new non-traditional finishing process called Abrasive Flow Machining(AFM) is being used to deburr, polish and radius workpiece or produce compressive residual stresses by flowing an abrasive-laden viscoelastic compound across the surface to be machined. This paper presents the effects of AFM on surfaces of tool steel produced by EDM and W-EDM. Using AFM, white layer produced by EDM is erased almost equally and the amount of metal removal is significantly affected the initally machined surface condition of workpiece. The dimension of workiece is enlarged and its surface roughness is improved as AFM time is increased. The optimal AFM time can be established from the experimental results. It is considered that the grinding method lide AFM is useful to grind complex or slim geometry of workpiece even. Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) was used to study the surface characteristics of the workpiece before and after AFM.

The thermal deformation of a workpiece during grinding is one of the most important factors that affect a flatness of a grinding surface. The heat generated in one-pass surface grinding causes the convex deformation of a workpiece. Therefore, the ground surface represents a conacve profile. In the analysis a simple model of the temperature distribution,based on the result of a finite element method, is applied. The analyzed results are compared with experimental results in surface grinding. The main results obtained are as follows; (1) The temperature distibution of a workpiece by FEM is comparatively in good agreement with the experimental results. (2) The bending moment by generated heat cause a convex deformation of the workpiece and it reads to a concave profile of the grinding surface.
