Micro drilling characteristics by EDM method was investigated. In detail, Micro tool electrode for EDM drilling was machined by use of WEDG method and micro hole was drilled using the machined tool electrode in SUS plate. The machining accuracy and time was compared in a different dielectric fluid. As a result, it was convinced that this method could be utilized as a fabrication technology of micro mold or micro 3 dimensional parts.

In the present study, a general tool surface contac search ad check algorithm is proposed. A general tool surface is described by triangular FE mesh. To check a proposed algorithm, clover cup and L-shape cup deep drawing processes are calculated. The elastic-plastic FEM using SEAM (Shear Energy Augmented Membrane) element is adapted for numerical stability.

This paper describes the fundamental investigations on the in-process monitoring techniques focused on Acoustic Emission(AE) based on analytical method. Experiments were conducted on a CNC lathe using conventional carbide insert tools under various cutting conditions. As the result of this study a suggestion is given about the multi-purpose use of AE-signals detected with a single sensor for the monitoring of tool wear, built-up edge and chatter vibration in turning process.

In this work, the imaginary part of the inner modulation transfer function of the cutting dynamics is introduced for tool wear monitoring. Time-series method is utilized to construct the generalthree dimensional cutting dynamics whose imaginary part of the inner modulation transfer funcition shows the proportionality to tool wear at the natural frequency of the machine tool dynamics. This modelis reduced to single-input single- output model without altering the proporitonality characteristics to tool wear and implemented to the dual computer system in which one computer performs measurement while the other calculates the imaginary part of the inner modulation transfer function of th cutting dynamics by the batchleast square method. The values of the imaginary part at the natural frequencyof the machine tool structure in the cutting direction are compared to the one calculated during machining with a brand new tool to decide the current stants of the tool. The experiments shows the relevance of the proposed concept.

This paper presents rough cutting pat고 drilling. This method has differences from conventional method which uses boundary curve by intersecting object to machine and each cutting plane. Die-cavity shape is drilled in z-map, we select various tool and remove much material in the short time. as a result, this method raise productivity. The major challenges in die-cavity pocketing include : 1)finding an inscribed circle for removing material of unmachined regions, 2) selecting optimal tool and efficiently arranging tool, 3) generating offset surface of shape, 4) determining machined width according to the selected tool, 5) detecting and removing unmachined regions, and 6) linking PJE(path-joining element). Conventional machining method calling contour-map is compared with drilling method using Z-map, for finding efficiency in the view of productivity.

In the present study, $Si_3N_4-SiC$ ceramic composites that contained up to 20 wt% of dispersed SiC particles were fabricated via hot-pressing with an oxynitride glass. The microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the cutting performance of resulting ceramic composites were investigated. By fixing the composition as $Si_3N_4-20$ wt% SiC, the effect of sintering time on the microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the cutting performance were also investigated. For machining of gray cast i개n, the tool life increases with increasing the amount of SiC content in the composites; The tool life also increased with increasing the sintering time. The tool life of the home-made cutting tools was very close to that of commercial $Si_3N_4$ cutting tool. The superior cutting performance of $Si_3N_4-SiC$ ceramic cutting tools suggests the possibility to be a new ceramic tool material.

This paper deals with condition monitoring for tool wear during tuning operation. To develop economic sensing and identification methods for turning processes, sound pressure measurement and digital signal processing technique are proposed. To identify noise sources of tool wear and reject background noise, noise rejection methodology is proposed. features to represent condition of tool wear are obtained through analysis using adaptive filter and FFT in time and frequency domain. By using fuzzy pattern recognition, we extract features, which are sensitive to condition of tool wear, from several features and make a decision on tool wear. The validity of the proposed system is condirmed through the large number of cutting tests in two cutting conditions.

An improved nonparametric tool description based on successive refined monparametric patches is proposed and therlated criterion for refinement is also discussed . In the proposed sheme, any required order of tool surface conformity can be achieved by employing successive refinements accoring to the suggested criterion. By using the suggested adaptive tool refinement technique based on the nonparametric patch tool description, the locally refined nonparametric tool surface with economic memory size and sufficient accuracy as well as with favorable charateristics for contact treatment can be obtained directly form the parametric patch related with commerical CAD system. Computation is carried out for a chosen complex sheet forming example of an actual autobody panel in order to verify the validity and the efficiency of the developed tool surface description.

The cutting process of cage motor rotor require high precision and good roughness, the surface roughness fo cutting face is very important factor with effect on the magnetic flux density of cage motor rotor. The paper describes a cause of decrease in the cutting force and roughness on low temperature cooling tool by means of analysis on the mechanism of force system at cutting condition and experimental findings. The main results as compared with the room temperature cutting are as follow : 1) The cutting resistance decreased due to low temperature cooling tool. 2) The surface roughness decreased due to low temperature cooling tool. 3) The low temperature cooling tool effected machinability of the cutting direction in machined surface. 4) The low temperature cooling decreased burr of corner in feed direction.

Web-based analysis programs for reliability assessment of machine tools were developed in this study. First, the reliability data analysis program was developed to search for failure rate using failure data and reliability test data of mechanical part. Second, failure mode analysis was developed through performance tests like circular movement test vibration test for machine tools. This analysis program shows correlation between failure mode and performance test result. Third, tool life was predicted by correlation between flank wear and cutting time, using the extended Taylor tool life equation in turning data and the equivalently converted equation in order to apply ball endmill data to Taylor tool life equation in milling data. All the information related to input and result data can be stored in theses programs.
