The objective of this study is to develope an optimized multi-facet drill (MFD). The principal factors that affect drilling performance are its geometry and the cutting conditions. In particular, the helix angle in the total twist angle of the twist drill, affects much morgen influence on the dynamic and static stiffness and on determining the characteristics of the chip disposal capacity of the drill. In this study, considering the helix angle as a major parameter, the model was developed. From this model, the deformation of transverse direction was simulated with the bending forces applied. The performance of a drill largely depends upon drilling forces. Comprehensive models for predicating the drilling thrust and torque are developed for the different drill geometries. The effects of MFD geometric parameters on thrust and torque are also deduced from the prediction models, from which an optimal drill geometry is found with the emphasis on minimum drilling forces.

As the machining depth increases, the drilling torque increases and fluctuates and the risk of drill failure also increases. Hence, drilling torque control is very important to prevent the drill from failure. In this study, a PID controller was designed to control the drilling torque in a machining center. The plant including the feed drive system, cutting process, and spindle system was modeled for controller design. The Ziegler-Nichols rule was used to determine the controller gain and control action times. The root locus plot was used to tune the controller gain for a certain cutting condition. Also, suggested was a simple method to obtain the tuned controller gain for an arbitrary cutting condition not using the Ziegler-Nichols rule and root locus plot. The cutting torque control, performance of the designed controller and the effect of gain tuning on the control performance were examined.

Drilling torque was measured indirectly using the spindle motor current and controlled in real time through feedrate manipulation in a machining center. The PID controller designed in the previous paper was applied to drilling torque control. A series of cutting experiments were performed for various cutting conditions. Experimental results showed that the drilling torque was well regulated at a given reference level by feedrate manipulation in all cutting conditions. The increase in the cutting torque and temperature according to the increase in machining depth was suppressed and the risk of the drill failure and the drill flank wear were reduced remarkably through cutting torque control. Moreover, the suggested cutting torque control system doesn\`t disturb the cutting process and is practical for industrial environment. Therefore, the proposed culling torque control system will contribute to productivity improvement in drilling process.

Drilling processes require a cutting monitoring function that can be analyzed and gives feedback about strange conditions, tool collision and tool wear in real time. In this study, we proposed a drill monitor using the torque from the main spindle in CNC machine tools and a PROFIBUS network as a PLC-based interface. This paper studied drilling torque changes depending on drill size, the repetition cutting of the drilling and the drill's wear in the same cutting conditions. The material of the drills was high speed steel (HSS) and uncoated. The drills chosen were 2.7 mm, 6.7 mm, and 10.0 mm in diameter. These drills were selected because they had basic holes for their taps.

Authors report the performance indicator of Roll to Roll MC (hereinafter referred to as RTR) through experiment that it is possible to process 2.0G acceleration, which cannot be coped with in the existing FPCB RTR, by reducing the weight of the Dancer roll system and controlling the torque using the servo motor. Proposed dancer roll system provides uniform tension to FPCB by solving problems such as high rotation speed, heat generation, and low torque, which were impossible to achieve with the conventional magnet clutch type RTR. Through the development of a lightweight processing method for rolls using magnesium material and the development of a torque control algorithm for servo motor, torque stability also increased. Due to the enabling technology developed in this study, the reaction speed of the dancer roll was improved and the target speed was achieved as well.
