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.

특징형상 데이터는 공정설계의 입력 정보로 사용되며, 부품 서술 데이터, 기하학적 데이터, 가공 기술적 데이터로 분류할 수 있다. 또한 공정순서및 작업순서 결정에서 선행관계는 반드시 고려하여 위배되지 않도록 해야하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 작업순서 결정시 만족해야하는 선행관계를 기하형상에 의한 선행관계, 단위 특징형상의 작업내용들간의 선행관계, 가공 경험에 의한 선행관계 등으로 분류/정의하였고, 특징형상 데이터와 가공지식을 이용하여 분류된 선행관계를 자동으로 추출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 추출한 선행관계를, 공구 교환횟수를 최소로 하는 작업순서 결정 알고리즘에 적용한 사례를 정리하였다.

공작기계부품 가공을 위한 공정표는 가공공정, 공정별 도면 분할, 가공기계 등을 결정하는 공정계획과 한 공정에 대하여 가공방법, 가공공구, 절삭조건, 공수등을 결정하는 작업계획을 통하여 발행된다. 작업계획에서 가공방법과 가공공구의 결정은 절삭조건과 공수에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 기존의 연구에서는 가공방법과 가공공구를 결정하기 위해 전문가 시스템 쉘(expert system shell)이용한 사례가 많았다. 이 경우, 지식 베이스(knowledge base) 의 구축에 많은 시간이 소요되고, 지식이 변했을 때 수정의 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 표준화되지 않아 변경의 소지가 많은 가공방법과 가공공구 결정에 뉴럴 네트워크(neural network)의 한 종류인 백 프로퍼게이션 (back propagation) 학습 모델을 이용했다. 공정계획 후 분할된 공정별 도면으로부 터 크기 및 정밀도 등과 같은 특징형상(feature) 정보를 추출한 후, 특징형상 의 종류와 크기, 치수공차, 기하공차, 거칠기 등을 입력하여 가공방법 및 가 공공구가 출력되도록 학습패턴을 설정하여 학습시켰다. 학습패턴은 공정설계 전문가와 인터뷰하는 방법과 작업계획 과정을 분석하는 방법을 통하여 설정 했다. 백 프로퍼게이션 모델을 통하여 학습시킨 결과, 학습시킨대로 정확한 가공방법 및 가공공구를 결정할 수 있었다.

Metal 3D printing, which is an additive metal manufacturing (AMM) process, enables the development of full-density metallic tools and parts using metal powders that are precisely delivered and controlled for deposition with no powder bed. However, some unknown geometric defects and irregular geometric features on an STL model can possibly result in incorrect metal part fabrication after the build. This study first proposes a methodical approach for verifying the build part, including the missing facet problems in an STL model, by defining some irregular features that possibly exist on the part. Second, 2D tool paths on each build layer were investigated for detecting any singular region inside the layer. The method was implemented for building two sample STL models using a direct energy deposition process, and finally, it was visually simulated for diagnosis.

Because of the development in mold industries, the geometrical form accuracy of the milled surface is getting more and more important. It has been known that the geometrical form accuracy is affected by machine conditions, cutting conditions, tool conditions and tool path and so on. Among them, the tool approaching path causes the change in material removal per tooth at the end of each machining cycle. And, this change generates the geometrical form error around the region where the tool engages the workpiece initially. So, it is impossible to eliminate the geometrical error caused by the tool approaching path. Thus, characteristics of this geometrical error are studied analytically and experimentally to minimize this region.

This study is concerned with the analysis of cutting force system acting on ball-nose end mill in three-dimensional surface machining process. Conical tipped circular cutting edge element model and free surface machining process types are proposed to apply oblique cutting theory, and then derived equations are used for numerical approach of cutting force curves by matrix method. This approach has a good agreement with experimental results both in magnitude and shape within the range of 15 percent, which was conformed on 6061-T6 aluminum workpiece having twofold curvatured surface. From the cutting load variation to edge location, it is confirmed that circular cutting edge shapes has a better cutting ability than that of straight and both have a singularity near a tool point. It is also verified that what kind of machining condition is recommendable for three-dimensional machining process in connection with deflection of the cutter to workpiece and tool point wearing or system stability.

지금까지 공작기계의 성능은 주로 기하학적 운동정도, 위치결정정도, 공작정도등의 시험 및 검사에의해 평가되어왔다. 그러나, 공작기계의 수치제어 System으로서의 평가는 충분히 행히지고있지 않았다. 원호절삭 정도시험으로서 Direct Test법은 공작물을 직접절삭하기 때문에공구나, 공작물의 영향을 받아서 공작기계의 운동정도만을 검사하는 것은 곤란하다. 그래서 직접 절삭하지않고 원호절삭 원동정도를 평가할 수 있는 방법으로서 Circular test법과 Double Ball Bar법이 개발 되어 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상술한 2가지 방법의 대체 방법으로 간단하고 값싸게 제작할 수 있는 새로운 원호절삭 정도측정장치와 측정 system을 개발하여 이 측정기로측정한 원호형상과 Machining Center의 운동오차 요인과의 정량적으로 고찰하였다.

Owing to the development of CNC machine tools and automatic programing software, the milling process with ball-end mill has become the most widely used process where three-dimensional precision machining is important. In this study, the ball-end milling process has been analyzed and a cutting force model has been developed to predict the cutting force acting on the ball-end mill on given machining conditions. The development of the model is based on the analysis of geometry of a ball-end mill an the oblique cutting process. The cutting edges of ball-end mills are considered as a series of infinitesimal elements and the geometry of the cutting edge element each cutting edge element is straight. The oblique cutting process in the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as orthogonal cutting process in the plane containing the cutting velocity vector and chip-flow vector. Hence, with the orthogonal cutting data obtained from orthogonal turning test, the cutting forces can be predicted through the model. The predicted cutting forces has shown a fairly good agreement with the test results in various plane cutting conditions.

The offsetting method using geometric properties of B-spline control polygon is more faster than using of general normal vector in offset processing. But this method itself does not solve the prob¬lems of loop removal in normal offsetting. Generally the distance between neighborhood spans of B-spline control polygon is greater than the offset distance, the loops are occurred in offsetting. For generating of the more precision tool-path in NC machining, the loops of offset must be removed. In this paper, two methods for loop removal are introduced in offsetting of B-spline curve. One is using the intersection of B-spline control span which being occurred of the loop. The other is using two B-spline curve divisions divided from original B-spline curve or its offset curve. After the inter¬section point of loop was searched, the loop being removed to cusp. Also the method for filleting of cusp is inspected to more precision cutting. It is shown that the offsetting using B-spline control polygon is more effective in the sculptured surface machining.
