Grinding which is the final finishing step in the machining processes plays an important role fur precision manufacturing because it directly affect the product quality. Since the ground surface is affected by the states of grains and voids on the grinding wheel surface, the wheel should be dressed before the machined surface deteriorates over a quality limit. This paper describes a systematic approach to decide a proper dressing chance. A fabricated eddy current sensor and CCD camera are used to measure the loading on the working wheel surface and to visualize the wheel surface states respectively. The dressing chance can be properly decided through the relation between the variation of the thresholding image of the wheel and the machined surface roughness as the variation of the eddy current sensor output is greater than the detected value previously.

Advanced ceramics have some excellent properities as the material for the mechanical component. It is, however, very difficult to grind ceramics with high efficiency because of their high strength, hardness and brittleness. In this paper, some experiments are carried out to find the basic grinding characteristic of advanced ceramics. Representative advanced ceramics, such as AL/sub 2/ O/sub 3/, ZrO/sub 2/, SiC and Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/and ground with diamond wheels. Special attention is paid to comparison between the conventional and creep feed grinding. Results obtained in this study provide some useful informations to attain the high efficiency grinding of advanced ceramics.

This paper presents an in-process measurement system for shaft radius measurement during grinding process. This system does not require to stop the grinding process, which can enhance productivity and quality. In order to measure the radius, the system employs an eddy current sensor that can measure without any contact with the shaft. This type of sensor is very appropriate because it is insensitive to interference such as cutting fluid, coolant, contact pressure, and wear. For data analysis, the measurement system is modeled as a linearized discrete form where the states with noise are estimated by an extended Kalman filter. This system has been validated through simulations and experiments.

공작기계 등과 같이 복잡한 대형 구조물의 구조해석에 있어서 결합부요소의 강성과 질량특성을 모델링하는 일반적 인 방법이 없는 실정이므로 어려움이많다. 본 연구에서는 공작기계에서 흔히 쓰이는 Slide-way contact joint 결 합부를 등가의 강성행렬 요소(Generalized stiffness matrix element)로 모델링하는 방법을 제안하였다.. 기존의 유 한용소 해석법 프로그램을 이용하여 결합부 유한요소 모델의 유연도계수(Flexibility influence coefficients)를 계산하고 Guyan의 정축약이론을 이용하여 등가의 강성행렬요소로 축약시키는 방법이다. 제안된 방법을 대형 평면연 삭기 구조해석에 적용하고, 그 결과를 강결합 모델의 결과 및 Yoshimura의 등가스프링결합부 모델을 사용한 경우의 결과와 비교하므로써 본 연구에서 제안한 결합부 모델링 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

SL(Stereolithography) part is made by piling up thin layers which causes the stair stepping effect at the surface of SL parts. The effect brings about excessive surface roughness and cuts down the merits of using SL part. Hence, additional post-machining finishing such as traditional grinding is required. But the traditional post-machining is detrimental to part geometry and time consuming. In this study, therefore, a paraffin coating and grinding post-machining is newly proposed to improve the surface quality of SL fart. The paraffin which has suitable properties for the proposed post-machining is coated all over the part surface. By grinding the only over-coated paraffin based on boundary of the SL part surface, the surface roughness can be improved without any damage on the part. Also, it is verified that SL part finished by the proposed post-machining process can be applied for rapid tooling as pattern through manufacturing silicon rubber molding and casting test.

A study on the temperature distribution of tungsten carbide alloy steel(WC-Co) in surface grinding was conducted to improve the surface finish and to find optimum grinding conditions which would lead to efficient grinding operation by theoretical finite element method analysis and experimental test of workpiece under various conditions. Based on the comparixion of test results and FEM analysis data, it is concluded that the FEM computer simulation of heat transfer is useful in predicting the temperature distribution of test material that the increase of temperature is more infuleneced by the grinding depth than the grinding speed. And that the grinding energy flux of dey grinding is 4 to 6 time greater than wet grinding regardless of grinding speed and finally that the heat transfer does not take place in depth deeper than 3mm from the grinding surface.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the dry wear mechanism of the alumina ceramics in the purity variation for the wear of STB2. The wear test was carried out under different experimental condition various sliding speed, contact pressure and sliding distance. According as the alumina purity increased, wear volume of the STB2 decreased and minimum value of wear volume was over to high speed side. According as the sliding speed and sliding distance increased, friction coefficient decreased owing to drop of the shear strength, it decresed largely owing to decreased of elastic modulus and thermal conductivity with decrease in alumina purity. Indicative of minimum, value of wear volume, low speed side was abrasive wear, high speed side was wear of heat softening. The friction surface of ceramics protacted by oxide was transfer from STB2.

Fault diagnosis technique in machining system which is one of engineering techniques absolutely necessary to automation of manufacturing system has been proposed. As a whole, diagnosis process is explained by two steps: sensor data acquisition and reasoning current state of system with the given sensor data. Flexible disk grinding process implemented in milling machine was employed in order to obtain empirical manufacturing process information. Resistance force data during machining were acquired using tool dynamometer known as sensor which is comparably accurate and reliable in operation. Tool status during the process was analyzed using influnece diagram assigning probability from the statistical analysis procedure.

The accuracy of machine tools is the major factor concerned with the acuracy of the processed work. The feed errors of feed system in machine tool, therfore, make the machining errors of work directly on processing.

Furthermore, in order to improve the driving accuracy of this machine tool, feed errors are measured by a laser interferometer. Results obtained in this study provide some useful informations to attain high accuracy of CNC machine tool.

In this study, tool path control algorithm for aspherical surface grinding was derived and discussed. The aspherical surface actually means contact points between lens and tool. Tool positions are generally defined at the center of a tool, so there is difference between tool path and lens surface. The path was obtained from contact angle and relative position from the contact point. The angle could be calculated after differentiating an aspheric equation and complex algebraic operations. The assumption of the control algorithm was that x moves by constant velocity while z velocity varies. X was normal to the radial direction of lens, but z was tangential. The z velocities and accelerations were determined from current error and next position in each step. In the experiment, accuracy of the control algorithm was checked on a micro-precision machine. The result showed that the control error tended to be diminished when the tool diameter increased, and the error was under sub-micro level.
