For precise micro-grooving and surface machining, ultrasonic cyclic elliptical cutting is proposed using two parallel piezoelectric actuators. The piezoelectric actuators are energized by sinusoidal voltages of varying phase which is essenstial to generating elliptical cutting. Experimental setup is composed of ultrasonic motor, single crystal diamond cutting tool, and precise motorized xyz stage. It is confirmed experimentally that the cutting performance, in terms of the cutting force, the burr formation, and the discontinuous chip formation is improved remarkably by applying ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting.

Ultrasonic machining technology has been developed over recent years for the manufacture of and quality-assured precision parts for several industrial application such as optics, semiconductors, aerospace, and automobile application. The past decade has seen a tremendous in the use of ceramics in structural application. The excellent thermal, chemical and wear resistance of these material can be realized because of recent improvements in the overall strength and uniformity of advanced ceramics. Ultrasonic machining, in which abrasive particles in slurry with water are presented to the work surface in the presence of an ultrasonic-vibrating tool, is process which should be of considerable interest, as its potential is not limited by the electrical or chemical characteristics of the work material, making it suitable for application to ceramics. This paper intends to further the understanding of the basic mechanism of ultrasonic machining for brittle material and ultrasonic machining of ceramics based in the fracture-mechanic concept has been analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of vibration induced by the powered hand tools used in the automobile assembly lines, and estimate the prevalence of vibration syndrome. The acceleration levels of four major powered hand tools were measured using the ISO 5349 method along with the time of exposure to the vibration of the hand tools. Four-hour-energy-equivalent frequency-weighted accelerations ranged from $1.27m/s^2$ to $2.58m/s^2$, After exposure to vibration for 12.6 years, about 10% of the workers using impact ranches were expected to develop Raynaud's disease. For the workers using grinders, 16.6% of the workers were expected to develop Raynaud's disease. The results would be of help in developing the guidelines of local vibration control.

High-speed machining is one of the most effective technologies to improve productivity. Because of the high speed and high feedrate, high-speed machining can give great advantages for the machining of dies and molds. To perform efficient high-speed machining, evaluation of high speed machinability must be studied preferentially and it can be identified by investigation of cutting force. To measure cutting force in high-speed machining, dynamometer has to have high natural frequency. In this paper, The dynamometer which has high natural frequency used to measure the cutting force in various cutting conditions. High-speed machining characteristics are evaluated by the cutting force, FFT analysis of the cutting force and chip formation.

Automatic tool changers(ATCs) store tools used in a machining center to its magazine and changes the tools automatically. Tools of machine centers are changed and then precisely equipped to spindle system by the ATC. Therefore, the stability and reliability of the ATC is very important. But, there is lack of development and evaluation on basic performance and vibration of the ATCs. So, in this study, a BT40 ATC test bench was developed to verify stability and reliability of BT40 ATCs.

The wavelet transform is a popular tool fer studying intermittent and localized phenomena in signals. In this study the wavelet transform of cutting force signals was conducted for the detection of a tool failure in turning process. We used the Daubechies wavelet analyzing function to detect a sudden change in cutting signal level. A preliminary stepped workpiece which had intentionally a hard condition was cut by the inserted cermet tool and a tool dynamometer obtained cutting force signals. From the results of the wavelet transform, the obtained signals were divided into approximation terms and detailed terms. At tool failure, the approximation signals were suddenly increased and the detailed signals were extremely oscillated just before tool failure.

The monitoring of the chatter vibration is necessarily required to do automatic manufacturing system. To this study, we constructed a sensing system using tool dynamometer in order to the chatter vibration on cutting process. And a approach to a neural network using the feature of principal cutting force signals is proposed. with the error back propagation training process, the neural network memorized and classified the feature of principal cutting force signals. As a result, it is shown by neural network that the chatter vibration can be monitored effectively.

In this study relationship between relief angles and chatter vibration in turning was examined by using the direct cutting test, in which the cutting depth of a tapered workpiece is varied continuously and the limiting depth of cut is measured at the time when chatter occurs. Test results reveal that 1) limiting depth of cut increases is proportion to side relief angles between 0$^{\circ}$ and 3$^{\circ}$, 2) limiting depth of cut does not show any evident change in spite of side relief angle increased from 3$^{\circ}$ to 12$^{\circ}$, 3) also limiting depth of cut does not change despite front angle change from 0$^{\circ}$ to 12$^{\circ}$.

연삭가공은 나노스케일(Nano-scale)의 미소한 입자 절삭날을 이용한 가공으로, 공작물의 표면을 경면(Mirror surface)으로 가공할 수 있어 제품의 최종 마무리공정으로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 연삭공정에 있어서는 공구(연삭숫돌)의 수명이 다하거나 가공계(Machining system)가 불안정해지면 채터진동과 연삭버닝 등의 현상이 발생하여 가공물의 표면품위를 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 원통플른지 연삭공정을 대상으로 공작물에서 발생하는 음향방출 신호와 연삭기 주축 모터의 동력 신호를 연삭가공 중에 검출하고, 이를 신경회로망에 적용하여 연삭가공 상태를 진단하는 시스템을 구축하고, 그 성능을 평가하였다.

Ultrasonic machining is a non-thermal, non-chemical, md non-electorial material removal process, and thus results in minimum modifications in mechanical properties of the brittle material during the process. Also, ultrasonic machining is a non-contact process that utilize ultrasonic vibration to impact a brittle material. In this research characteristics of micro-hole machining for brittle materials by ultrasonic machining(USM) process have been investigated. And the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the machining conditions is analyzed when machining fir non-conductive brittle materials using tungsten carbide tools with a view to improve form and machining accuracy.
