A large five-axis gantry-type machine performs cutting operations by moving the gantry, along with a bed. During operation, there are three sources of position (zig-zag) errors: 1) the position difference between two control motors on the X axis, 2) friction difference from the different column weights, and 3) torque of the rotating spindle. This study improved the performance of a gantry-type machine by analyzing these three error sources. We changed the mass of a column in the gantry structure and measured the effect on the friction result. We also studied the spindle torque influences on the movement performance of the gantry in relation to the spindle rotation.

Advanced sensor design and filtering technology have been studied to obtain information for condition monitoring and diagnostics inmachining processes. To develope and economic monitoring system in end milling processes, indirect and reliable type of cutting force estimators were required. In this paper, an estimation method of cutting forces during end milling processes was studied through the measurement of current signals obtained from spindle and feeddrive motors. Cutting force and torque models were derived from the cutting geometry in down milling processes. Relationships between motor currents and cutting forces were also developed in the form of AC and DC components from the developed force models. The validity of the cutting force estimator was confirmed by the experiments under various cutting conditions.

In order to maintain the cutting force at a desired level during peripheral end milling processes in spite of variation of the depth of cut and other machining conditions, a feedrate override. Apaptive Control Constraint (ACC) system are developed. Feedrate override was accomplished by a developed MMC board and PMC interface techniques. Nonlinear model of the cutting process was linearized as an adaptive model with time varying paramrters. Integral type estimators were introduced for on-line identification of cutting and control parameters in peripheral and milling processes. Zero Order Jold (ZOH) type degital control methodology which uses pole-placement concepts was applied for the ACC system. Performance of the developed ACC system was confirmed on the vertical machining center equipped with FANUC OMC for a large amount of experiment

In this study, the carbon steels, SM20C were machined with the tungsten carbide tipped circular saw to clarify the cutting-off characteristics in terms of tool wear. The results show that an improved performance in view of both the tool wear and the cutting efficiency was obtained by using oil base cutting fluid at the cutting speed of 100m/min with the feed of 0.06mm/tooth. The rake angle of 10$^{\circ}$ , clearance angle of 8$^{\circ}$ , nose radius of R0.1mm, and end cutting edge champer of 0.1mm$\times$25$^{\circ}$ are believed as the best tool geometries. The tool wear decreases due to using the saw of the disk of STS5 and the tool material of P30.

In this paper, a NURBS surface interpolator is proposed which can deal with shapes defined from CAD/CAM programs on a surface basis and can improve contour accuracy. The proposed interpolator is based on newly defined G-codes and includes online tool-path planning suitable for NURBS surface machining. The real-time interpolation algorithm, considering an effective machining method for each machining process and minimum machining time, is executed in an online manner. The proposed interpolator is implemented on a PC-based 3-axis CNC milling system and evaluated through actual machining in terms of machining time and regulation of feedrate and cutting force in comparison with the existing method.

Recently the industry high-speed machining has been applied to the automotive, aircraft, electronics parts machining because the effect of cost savings, machining time reduction and productivity improvement. In this study recently the aircraft structural aluminum alloy 7075 used in cutting the ball end-mill on the surface roughness terms most affect the parameters of the spindle speed and feed rate on the surface roughness of the work-piece according to the cutting depth is to investigate. Cutting depth at 0.3 mm has the lowest surface roughness.

In the turning process, the feed is usually selected by a machining operator considering workpiece, cutting tool and depth of cut. Even if this selection can avoid power saturation or tool breakage, it is usually conservative compared to the capacity of the machine tools and can reduce the productivity significantly. This paper proposes a selection method of the feed and the reference cutting force based on MRR(material removal rate), maximum spindle power and specific energy. In order to estimate and control cutting force accurately in transient and steady state, this study utilizes a synthesized cutting force estimation method and a Fuzzy controller. The experimental results present that these systems can be useful for the FMS(flexible manufacturing system) and unmanned automation system.

In order to increase productivity through unmanned machining in CNC milling process, in-process tool fracture detection is required. In this paper, a new algorithm for tool fracture detection using cutting load variations was developed. For this purpose, developed were tool condition vector which is dimensionless indicator of cutting load and tool fracture index (TFI) which represents magnitude of tool fracture. Through cutting force simulation, tool fracture index was shown to be independent of tool run-outs and cutting condition variations. Using tool fracture index, the ratio of the tool fracture to feed per tooth could be indentified.

For the net shape manufacturing, grinding is a important process that influences directly the accuracy and the integrity of products. We studied and researched the grinding force, surface roughness, and grinding wheel durability, according to the change of a feed speed of the table and a depth of the cut step by step with experiment that it is used to WA wheel.
