광통신 커넥터 핵심 부품인 페룰(Ferrule)은 광통신의 주요한 커넥터 부품으로 사용되며 슬리브내에서 페룰을 서로 맞대어 광섬유론 정렬하는데 사용이 된다. 광섬유의 맞대기가 정확하고 광학 특성에 영향을 주지 않도록 하기 위해서는 페룰의 외경과 표면의 초정밀 가공이 주요한 품질 특성이 된다. 페룰은 고경도 난삭재의 소구경 세라믹 재질이며 이의 가공을 위해서는 다이아몬드 연삭숫돌을 이용한 무심연삭(centerless grinding) 장치를 사용한다.(중략)

Ceramic ferrules which are major parts of the fiber optic connectors are requiring high precisions in grinding. After grinding, it is the problem that subsurface damages cannot be removed. The objective of this study was to analyze the grinding force and the associated stress generated in a ceramic ferrule during cylindrically external griding using finite element analysis(FEA). A two-dimensional finite element model was constructed with the grinding parameters and the mechanical properties of the ferrule as input variables. The size of the geometric model was the same with ceramic ferrule. The experimental results are investigated by SEM photograph and compared with the results from FEM. The result of FEA showed a good agreement with that of experiment.

초고속 정보통신망 구현에 필수적인 광학 연결용 부품인 광 Ferrule은 광섬유 커넥터의 중요부품으로서 우수한 치수정밀도와 내마모성을 갖추어야 한다. 현재, Ferrule로 사용되는 재료는 지르코니아, 알루미나 등 세라믹 물질이 많이 사용되고 있으며 기계적 강도나 내마모성 면에서는 우수하지만, 피연마속도가 석영섬유에 비해 현저히 작아서 특수한 연마방법을 채택해야 하며 성형성이나 가공성이 나빠 생산효율이 낮고 비용이 비싸다는 단점을 가지고 있다.(중략)

As the optical communication industry is developed, the demand of optical communication part is increasing. ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is very important part which can determines the transmission efficiency and information quality to connect the optical fibers. In general ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is manufactured by grinding process because the demands precision is very high. And the co-axle grinding process of ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is to make its concentricity all of uniform before centerless grinding. This paper deals with the analysis of the process parameters such as grinding wheel speed, grinding feedrate and regulating wheel speed as influential factors, on the concentricity and surface finish developed based on Taguchi's experimental design methods. Taguchi s tools such as orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio, factor effect analysis, etc. have been used for this purpose optimal condition has been found out. Thus, if possible be finding highly efficient and quality grinding conditions.

Today optical communication industry is developed; demand of optical communication part is increased. ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is very significant part which determines transmission efficiency and quality of information in the optical communication part by connector of optical fibers. Being different from metal grinding, material removal through brittle fracture plays an important role in ZrO$_2$ ceramic grinding. Most of ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule processes are grinding which request high processing precision. Particularly, concentricity and cylindricity of inner and outer diameter are very important. The co-axle grinding process of ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is to make its concentricity all of uniform before centerless grinding. Surface integrity of ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule is affected by grinding conditions, and equipment. In this study, surface integrity of workpiece according to such as a change of grinding wheel speed, feed rate, regulating wheel speed and grinding force is investigate to improve the concentricity and roundness of ZrO$_2$ ceramic ferrule from many experiments. Thus, if possible be finding highly efficient and quality grinding conditions.

As the optical communication industry is developed, the demand of optical communication part is increasing. $ZrO_2$ ceramic ferrule is very important part which can determines the transmission efficiency and information quality to connect the optical fibers. In general $ZrO_2$ ceramic ferrule is manufactured by grinding process because the demands precision is very high. For the precision grinding machining, it is very important that the error of feeding system is improved. Therefore, we estimated the dynamic characteristics in feeding system of ultra precision co-axial grinding machining system. Then, we performed the machining characteristics experiment.
