It is well known that the five-axis machining has advantages of tool accessibility and machined surface quality when compared with conventional three-axis machining. Traditional researches on the five-axis tool-path generation have addressed interferences such as cutter gouging, collision, machine kinematics and optimization of a CL(cutter location) or a cutter position. In the paper it is presented that optimal CL data for a face-milling cutter moving on a tool-path are obtained by incorporating TSS(tool swept surface) model. The TSS model from current CL position to the next CL position is constructed based on machine kinematics as well as cutter geometry, with which the deviation from the design surface can be computed. Then the next CC(cutter-contact) point should be adjusted such that the deviation conforms to given machining tolerance value. The proposed algorithm was implemented and applied to a marine propeller machining, which proved effective from a quantitative point of view. In addition, the algorithm using the TSS can also be applied to avoid cutter convex interferences in general three-axis NC machining.

Small marine propeller is generally machined by 5-axis machining. This paper suggests a method to create geometric model from point array data and 4-axis machining NC data for propeller. With conventional method, the setting posture should be changed, because propeller has front and back surface of wing. The change of setting posture has a bad influence on precision of propeller. So this paper pro-poses a method to machine propeller by single setup for 4-axis machining. The cutter moves to parallel direction of the XY plane. To determine the cutter orientation efficiently, the' tilting guiding line' is proposed. A proposed algorithm is written in C language and successfully applied to the 5-axis milling machine of industrial field.

This study deals with the method of post-processing in the automatic tool path generation for 5-axis NC machining. The 5-axis NC machining cannot only cope with the manufacturing of complicated shapes, but also offers numerous advantages such as reasonable tool employment, great reduction of set-up process and so on. Thus 5-axis NC machining has been used for aircraft parts, mold and die as well as for complicated shapes such as impeller, propeller and rotor. However, most of the present CAM systems for 5-axis NC machining have limited functions in terms of tool collision, machine limits and post-processing. Especially 5-axis machine configurations are various according to the method which the rotational axes are adapted with the table and spindle. For that reason, In many cases the optimal numerical control (NC) data cannot be obtained or considerable time is consumed. To solve this problem, we applied a general post-processor for 5-axis NC machining. The validity of this post-processor should be experimentally confirmed by successfully milling to a helix shaped workpiece.

The paper presents an efficient computation of optimal tool length for 5-axis mold & die machining. The implemented procedure processes an NC file as an initial input, where the NC data is generated by another commercial CAM system. A commercial CAM system generates 5-axis machining NC data which, in its own way, is optimal based on pre-defined machining condition such as tool-path pattern, tool-axis control via inclination angles, etc. The proper tool-length should also be provided. The tool-length should be as small as possible in order to enhance machinability as well as surface finish. A feasible tool-length at each NC block can be obtained by checking interference between workpiece and tool components, usually when the tool-axis is not modified at this stage for most CAM systems. Then the minimum feasible tool-length for an NC file consisting of N blocks is the maximum of N tool-length values. However, it can be noted that slight modification of tool-axis at each block may reduce the minimum feasible tool-length in mold & die machining. This approach can effectively be applied in machining feature regions such as steep wall or deep cavity. It has been implemented and is used at a molding die manufacturing company in Korea.

In this research, the refinement behavior of the coarse magnesium powders fabricated by gas atomization was investigated as a function of milling time using a short duration high-energy ball milling equipment, which produces fine powders by means of an ultra high-energy within a short duration. The microstructure, hardness, and formability of the powders were investigated as a function of milling time using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Vickers micro-hardness tester and magnetic pulsed compaction. The particle morphology of Mg powders changed from spherical particles of feed metals to irregular oval particles, then platetype particles, with increasing milling time. Due to having HCP structure, deformation occurs due to the existence of the easily breakable C-axis perpendicular to the base, resulting in producing plate-type powders. With increasing milling time, the particle size increased until 5 minutes, then decreased gradually reaching a uniform size of about 50 micrometer after 20 minutes. The relative density of the initial power was 98% before milling, and mechanically milled powder was 92~94% with increase milling time (1~5 min) then it increased to 99% after milling for 20 minutes because of the change in particle shapes.

This paper proposes a tool path generation method for machining impellers with 5-axis machining center. The shape of impeller is complex, being composed of pressure surface, suction surface and leading edge, and so on. The compound surface which is made of ruled surface such as pressure surface and suction surface and leading edge such as fillet surface, makes the tool path generation much complicated. To achieve efficient roughing, cutting area is divided into two region and then tool radius of maximum size that do not cause tool intereference is selected for shortening machining time. In finishing, accuracy is improved using side cutting for blade surface and point milling for leading edge.

연구 목적: 컴퓨터-가이드 임플란트 수술은 전통적인 방법에 비해 여러 가지 장점을 가진다. 본 연구의 목적은 가이드 수술용 템플릿 제작을 위한 좌표동기화 5축 정밀가 공공정의 정확도를 범용 CAD 소프트웨어를 통해 역설계공학의 방법으로 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 악궁 형태의 모형에 거타퍼쳐 스타핑을 매식한 10 개의 모형을 만들고 상부에 실리콘 인상재를 이용하여 인공치은을 덮어 스타핑의 위치를 보이지 않게 가렸다. 모형의 하면에 동기화를 위한 좌표동기화 형상을 만든 뒤 Cone beam CT에서 3차원 영상을 얻었다. 임플란트 계획 소프트웨어의 CT 이미지 상에서 매식된 스타핑과 동일한 방향으로 스타핑의 1/2 깊이까지 가상의 시술계획을 하고, 스타핑의 방향벡터와 저지점 (1/2지점) 데이터를 석고모형의 영상으로 좌표동기화 하였다. 이후 모형하면의 좌표동기화 형상을 이용하여 가공기기상의 좌표로 좌표변환을 통해 가공좌표동기화를 하였다. 5축 밀링머신의 좌표동기화판에 모형을 고정한 후, 동기화된 가공데이터에 의거하여 스타핑과 동일한 직경의 드릴로 계획된 벡터와 깊이로 정확히 가공 하였다. 모델에 정확히 안착되는 인상트레이를 CT 장비에 미리 고정한 상태에서, 인상트레이에 모델을 적합하여 이미지를 획득한 뒤 3차원 재구성하는 방법으로 영상을 중첩하여 비교 분석하였다. SolidWorks (Dassault Systems, Concord, USA) 범용 CAD 상에 영상을 불러들여 역설계공학의 방법으로 실린더 상부, 하부의 중점에서의 위치편차와 각도편차를 조사하였다. 통계는 SPSS (release 14.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA)를 이용하여 각 편차 사이의 상관관계를 분석하였다 ($\alpha$ = 0.05). 결과: 위치 편차로 인하여 모든 드릴 보어 (bore)에서 상부 1/2에 잔존하는 거타퍼쳐의 일부를 관찰할 수 있었다. 실험 모형상에서 계획된 이미지와 드릴링 후CT에서 역설계를 거친 이미지 사이의 위치편차는 상부에서 0.31 (0.15 - 0.42) mm, 하부에서 0.36 (0.24 - 0.51) mm, 각도편차는 1.62 (0.54 - 2.27)$^{\circ}$이었다. 실린더 상부와 하부 위치 편차는 양의 상관관계를 가졌다 (Pearson Correlation Coeffocient = 0.904, P= .013). 결론: 좌표동기화 5축 정밀가공 공정은 가이드 수술용 템플릿을 제작하는 데에 적합한 정확도를 가진다.
