Presented in this paper is a method to generate round-endmill toolpaths for sculptured surfaces represented as a triangular mesh model. The proposed method is applicable in toolpath generation for ball-endmills and flat-endmills because the round-endmill is a generalized tool in three-axis NC (numerical control) milling. The method uses a wireframe model as the offset model that represents a cutter location surface. Since wireframe models are relatively simple and fast to calculate, the proposed method can process large models and keep high precision. Intersection points with the wireframe offset model and a tool guide plane are calculated, and intersection curves are constructed by tracing the intersection points. The final step of the method is extracting regular curves from the intersection curves including degenerate and self-intersected segments. The proposed method is implemented and tested, and a practical example is presented.

Recently, it has been studying for the polishing process of micro parts widely. However, present MR polishing system, it is difficult to minimize electromagnet and to polish sphere or slope parts. Then, it can not be obtained demanded surface quality. In this study, material removal characteristics of BK7 glass using round endmill type MR polishing system were investigated through series of experiment. The experiments were investigated by changing imposed polishing conditions, such as rotational speed and polishing depth. As a results, very high material removal was obtained at 0.7mm gap distance, 1,980rpm.

Recently, it has been studied machining of micro parts with increasing demands for ultra precision parts. However, many engineering problems have already begun in polishing of optical parts or lens. As a method to overcome such problems, a new technology for the polishing of the target surface is being studied by controlling abrasives using MR fluids which are sensitive to magnetic fields. Since the current MR polishing system uses a big electromagnet, and is difficult to polish micro parts or spherical lens. Therefore, in this study, a round endmill type MR polishing system was developed to polish a three-dimensional structure which has spherical or inclined plane. And then, series of experiments were performed to verify the polishing performance of the developed round endmill type MR polishing system.

일반적인 CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용해서 생성한 NC-code는 오류의 가능성의 항시 내포되어 있으므로, 실 가공하기 전에 NC-code의 불량 여부를 검사할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Z-map 형태의 계산모형을 이용한 모의가공의 계산방법을 볼엔드밀, 평엔드밀, 라운드엔드밀에 대해서 도식적으로 설명하였다. 또, 모의가공 된 형상만으로 NC-code의 불량 여부를 검사하는 자체적인 검사방법과 모의가공 된 형상과 설계형상을 비교해서 불량여부를 판별하는 비교 검사방법을 제시하였다. Z-am 모델을 모의가공과 가공형상의 검증에 사용하면, 빠른 속도로 실제가공 상황을 재현 할 수 있고 육안 검증을 포함한 다양한 수치적 검증이 가능하다. 또, 간단한 데이터 구조이므로 필요한 앨고리즘을 효율적이고, 로버스트하게 구현할 수 있다.

The aviation industry has grown beyond the simple processing and assembling of aircraft parts and now designs and exports finished aircraft. In this study, the vertical CNC milling rotational speed and feed rate were parameters to investigate the life of tools according to their shape: (flat, round, and ball end mill) in the rough cutting of titanium. These tools are widely used in aircraft manufacturing and assembly. The purpose of this study is to measure the cutting temperature generated during the cutting process and calculate the rate of tool wear. This will be accomplished by measuring the tool weight before and after cutting the specimen and to compare it with the results of previous studies. Our study showed that the maximum cutting temperature increased as cutting time, tool rotational speed, and feed rate increased. The highest cutting temperatures were recorded for the ball, round, and flat end mill, respectively. Tool wear for the ball, round, and flat end mill increased as the speed and feed rate increased. The flat end mill exhibited the highest rate of wear from a minimum of 0.62% to a maximum of 2.88%.

The application of titanium has been gradually rising because the utilizing ranges for low weight and high strength are rapidly increased by the need for improving the fuel economy in production industries such as the aviation and automotive in recent. The purpose in this study is to investigate the appropriate cutting conditions on the life of flat and round end mills by measuring the maximum cutting temperature relative to the machining time, and calculating the wear rates of cutting tool with the spindle speed and feed rate of vertical machining center as a parameter in the titanium roughing cut machining which is widely used in critical parts of aircraft, cars, etc. When the wetted roughing cut machining of titanium with a soluble cutting oil is conducted by the flat and round end mills, the maximum cutting temperatures for a variety of spindle speed and feed rate are measured at ten-minute intervals during 60 minutes by an infrared thermometer, and the wear rates of cutting tool are calculated by the weight ratios based on tool wear before and after the experiment. It is found that the maximum cutting temperature and the wear rates of cutting tool are raised as the cutting amount per tool edge is increased with the rise of feed rate, in this experimental range, and as the frictional area due to the rise of contacting friction numbers between tool and specimen is increased with the rises of cutting time and spindle speed. In addition, the increasing rate of maximum cutting temperature in the flat and round end mills are the highest for the cutting time from 50 to 60 minutes, and the wear rate of cutting tool in the flat end mill is 1.14 to 1.55 times higher than that in the round end mill for all experimental conditions.
