The online realtime positioning error compensation system 'SKY-PACS' is developed to correct geometric errors, thermal errors and tool deflection errors induced by cutting forces on the vertical machining center. 'SKY-PACS' communicates position commands and position compensation signals with the CNC controller at 100Hz, which is CNC control frequency. So the compensation procedure can be applied during axis movement. Using 'SKY-PACS', Maximum 1 axis positioning accuracy was corrected from 5{\mu}m$ to 2{\mu}m$and the squareness error of X-Y table was corrected from 51{\mu}m$/m to below 4{\mu}m$/m. The error compensation under the cutting condition is carried out by ISO10791-7. And the measurement of test-pieces shows that the roundness is corrected rom 8{\mu}m$ to below 5{\mu}m$.

Cutting process has been automated by progress of CNC and CAD/CAM, but polishing process has been depended on only experiential knowledge of expert. To automate the polishing pricess polishing robot with 2 degrees of freedom which is attached to a machining center with 3 degrees of freedom has been developed. this automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal on the curved surface of die to improve a performance of polishing. Polishing task for a curved surface die demands repetitive operation and high precision, but conventional control algorithm can not cope with the problem of disturbance such as a change of load. In this research, we develop robust controller using real time sliding mode algorithm. To obtain gain parameters of sliding model control input, the signal compression method is used to identify polishing robot system. To obtain an effect of 5 degrees of freedom motion, 5 axes NC data for polishing are divided into data of two types for 3 axis machining center and 2 axis polishing are divided into data of two types for 3 axis machining center and 2 axis polishing robot. To find an efficient polishing condition to obtain high quality, various experiments are carried out.

This paper describes the manufacture of spherical and aspherical surface on glass, superalloy and ceramic components. The rotationally symmetricallenses, and the ceramic or superalloy molds with spherical shapes are mainly generated by cutting processes on CNC lathe machine or 4,5 axis CNC machining centers. Recently, spherical shape parts require more precise and efficent machining technologies for wide material range such as optical lens of the lithography device in semiconductor manufacturing processes or the high precision mold machining of anti-chemical, anti-wear materials. In this paper, we introduce a newly developed infeed grinding machine with metal with metal bonded cup type wheel and its effects on spherical surface grinding.

In order to improve in quality and productivity using the CNC machine tools, it has been endeavored to elevate production process by adding supplementary axes(2 axes) to 2,3 axial CNC machine tools. It is because the movement between the progress of work in processed goods is remarkably decreased more than that of general CNC machine tools that productivity improvement with precision maintenance can be improved. VBScript in CAD/CAM is applied to utilize CNC machine tools added supplementary axes so that Multi-axial &Multi-process manufacturin g program can be conveniently drawn up. However, there is generally much skilful work and operation by the manual program of CAD(2.5D) and CNC machine tools in the filed. As a result of conducting an experiment by COM-filing VBScript at the spot of Insert Tip for milling Face Cutter in CAD/CAM Software(2.5D), it was not only timesaving to draw up program but also more convenient than complicated Multi CAD/CAM Software to approach and possible to program various products instantaneously.

Increasing demands on precision machining using CNC machines have necessitated that the tool to move with a position error as small as possible in 3-dimensional (3D) space. This paper presents the simultaneous 3D machining with a retrofitted PC-NC milling machine. To achieve the simultaneous 3-axis motions, a new precision interpolation algorithm for 3D Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline(NURBS) curve is used. With this accurate and efficient algorithm for the generation of complex. 3D shapes, a real-time NURBS interpolator was developed using a PC and the simultaneous 3D machining is accomplished.

The volumetric errors of CNC machining centers are determined by 21 errors, including 3 linear errors, 6 straightness errors, 3 perpendicular errors, 9 angular errors and non-rigid body errors of the machine tool. It is very time consuming and hard to measure all of these errors in which laser interferometer and other parts are used directly. Hence, as many as 21 separate setups and measurements are needed for the linear, straightness, angular and perpendicular errors. In case of the 5-axis machining centers, two more rotary tables are used. It can make 35 error sources of the movement. Therefore, the measured errors of multi movements of the 5-axis tables are very complicated, even if the relative measured errors are measured. This paper describes the methods, those analyze the error sources of the machining centers. Those are based on shifted diagonal measurements method (SDM), R-test and Double ball bar. In case, the angular errors of machine are small enough comparing with others, twelve errors including three linear position errors, six straightness errors and three perpendicular errors can be calculated by using SDM. To confirm the proposed method, SDM was applied to measuring 3 axes of machine tools and compared with directly measurement of each errors. In addition, the methods for measuring relative errors of multi-axis analysis methods using R-test and Double Ball Bar are introduced in this paper.

5축 가공기는 가공중의 공구자세 변화를 요구하는 복잡한 산업형상의 가공, 혹은 경사 가공을 통한 표면조도 향상등의 목적으로 채용되는 첨예의 공작기계로서 이를 지원하는 CAM연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 산업현장에서 흔히 5축 가공기로 일컬어지는 상당수의 5축 가공기는 기구축은 5축을 가지나, 동기제어 축수는 3측인 “선택적 3/5축 가공기”의 형태로서 진정한 의미의 5축가공기와는 근본적으로 다르다. 5축 동기제어를 지원하는 CAM연구는 부분적으로 연구 개발된 상태이나, 선택적 3/5축을 지원하는 CAM 이론은 연구된 바 없으며, 이에 따라 현장에서는 공작물의 셋업을 변경시키는 소위 자동 인덱싱 방식으로 활용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구팀에서는 선택적 3/5축 가공기에서 5축 가공을 실현할 수 있는 공구경로 산출 및 제어알고리즘을 개발하고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 (5축 가공 대비) 선택적 3/5축 가공문제의 이론적 특성과 경사가공을 수행하기 위한 알고리즘을 소개하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 유효성을 보인다.

In this paper, the Post Process for the manifold complex processing using CAD/CAM Software of two and a half Dimensions(2.5D) has been developed to maximize the application of the manifold manufacturing machine. Many companies are currently making use of high price systems to improve manufacturing process using the multi-axial complex manufacturing machine. In accordance with the requirements, the utilization of CAD/CAM Software for the manifold complex manufacturing machine is earnestly demanded. However, the experts who have experience in manifold manufacturing machine are insufficient. Consequently the outcomes of the Post Process for 2.5D CAD/CAM Systems have been dealt in order to be smoothly operated by those who have basic skills and be understood in process drawings. CNC program functions can be specially used as they are, when drawn up. The Post Process for the original point designation and transformation of coordinates has been developed and applied. The results gave proof of practical manufacturing outcomes.

In this paper, a neuro-contouring control scheme for the high precision machining of CNC machine tools is descrihed. The proposed control system consists of a conventional controller for each axis and an additional neuro-controller. For contouring control, the contour error must be computed during realtime motion, but generally the contour error for nonlinear contours is difficult to he directly computed. We, therefore, propose a new contour error model to approximate real error more exactly, and here we also introduce a cost function for better contouring performance and derive a learning law to adjust the weights of the neuro-controller. The derived learning law guarantees good contouring performance. Usefulness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated hy computer simulations.
