This study presents the analysis of ball end milling machinability and its application to the determination of the optimum feedrate in the CNC machining process of sculptured surface. The methods which estimate the cutting force system is approached experimentally. The estimation strategy, named technological processor, was applied to the machining process of sculptured surface for finding optimum variable feedrate. From the result of practical implementation for the test model, it is ascertain that the technological processor have brought the dispersion of force profiles. As compared with conventional imposing of cutting conditions, the machining time has reduced by more than 60%.

Spin casting is one of useful methods to manufacture metal parts with low mold cost and short delivery time. But the silicon rubber based conventional method has several problems such as poor dimensional accuracy, limitation in casting materials and its dependency on speciality in meld making process. To solve those problems, this paper suggests a steel based mold making method using direct CNC machining and the experimental results shows that the parts from the developed method has better dimensional accuracy and surface roughness than those from the conventional method.

The sheet parts are formed with dies conventionally. But this conventional forming process is not suited to small volume and varied production for the reason of high cost. For the solution of this problem, a new forming process, which is called CNC incremental sheet forming, is being introduced. This process can form sheet parts without die, and is very well suited to small volume and varied production in space flight and automobile. In this paper, dieless CNC forming system based on a machining center is developed. A special device to grasp and pull the blank sheet built in the machining center and tool path generation S/W from STL file of 3-D model are developed. Several sheet parts are incrementally formed to verify the effectiveness of the developed system.

This study is continuous with the study I (A Study on the Modeling) and the sample impeller of this study is defined by the modeling process of the exclusive CAD/CAM system developed in the study Ⅰ. And, this study describes a method for the 5-axis machining of impeller blades formed by ruled surface. Therefore, the exclusive CAD/CAM system is the software for modeling md machining of impeller blades. By using the machining method suggested in this study, we could manufacture impeller blades on 5-axis CNC machining center and the machined impeller was very agreeable to the designed impeller. Thus, theories proposed in this study can be very useful for the 5-axis machining of impeller blades.

Recent noticeable advances of CNC machine tools have considerably improved productivity and precision in manufacturing processes. However, in the respect of productivity some defects still remain because selection of machining conditions entirely depends on the experiences of programmers. Usually, machining conditions such as feed rate and spindle speed have been selected conservatively by considering the worst cases, and it has brought the loss of machining efficiency. Thus, the improvement of cutting force controller has been done to regulate cutting force constantly and to maximize feedrate simultaneously in case that machining conditions change variously. In this study, sliding mode control with boundary layer is applied to milling process for cutting force regulation and in a commercial CNC machining center data transfer between PC and PMC (programmable machine controller) of CNC machine is done using a standard interface method. And in the cutting force measurement, an indirect cutting force measuring system using current signal of AC servo is adopted in order not to use high-priced equipment like tool dynamometer. The purpose of this study is to maximize the productivity in milling process, thus its results can be applied to cases such as rough cutting process.

The biggest factors, which lower the machining accuracy of machine, are thermal deformation and chatter vibration. In this article, we introduce the development case of a device and technology that can automatically compensate thermal deformation errors of machine during long-time processing on the machine tool's CNC (Computerized Numerical Controller) in real time. In machine processing, the data acquisition of temperature signal in real time and auto-compensation of the machine origin of machine tools depending on thermal deformation have significant influence on improving the machining accuracy and the rate of operation. Thus, we attempts to introduce the related contents of the development we have made in this article : The development of a device that embedded the acquisition part of temperature data, linear regression to get compensation value, compensation model of neural network and a system that compensates the machine origin of machine tool automatically during manufacturing process on the CNC.

A newly developed attachment type high-speed spindle can be easily attached to the conventional CNC machining center to allow high-speed machining with low investment costs. This study has focused on the application of a conventional CNC machining center equipped with an attachment type high-speed spindle. A specimen of plastic mold material has been machined to compare the cutting effectiveness of the high-speed machining center and the conventional machining center with the attachment type high-speed spindle respectively. The rotational accuracy of the spindles are measured by a transmission optic measurement system and the surface roughness of the workpiece in accordance with revolution speed(rpm) of the spindle are investigated respectively. As the experimental results, it was shown that the surface roughness of the machined workpiece was $3.42{\mu}mR_{max}$, $0.46{\mu}mR_a$ in the case of attachment type spindle and $1.81{\mu}mR_{max}$, $0.275{\mu}mR_a$ in the case of the high-speed machining center. Moreover, the mean rotational accuracy was $7.57{\mu}m$ in the case of the attachment type spindle and $7.39{\mu}m$ in the case of the high-speed machining center.

CNC lathe machining has been widely used for parts machining of vehicles, aircraft, ships, electronics, etc. because cost savings for shortening processing time and increasing productivity are great. In this study, the purpose is to investigate the effect of cooling methods such as oil mist, water-soluble cutting oils on the workpiece surface roughness with the cutting speed, cutting depth, tool nose radius and feed rate of CNC lathe machine as a parameter in the cutting process of the aluminum alloy 2024 which is used a lot recently on aircraft parts. It is found that oil mist is coolant and water-soluble cooled by cutting the experimental conditions, cutting speed and cutting depth without effecting the surface roughness value was constant.

In the CNC machining process, problems such as lowering of machine operation rate, setting errors, and machining precision occur due to the increase in setting time and preparation time. These machining errors cause delays in delivery and increase in cost due to an increase in the number of mounting and dismounting of the workpiece, an increase in measurement and reprocessing time, and an increase in the finishing time in the assembly process. Therefore, in this study, by automating the setting of the work piece using OMV (On Machine Verification), which is a meteorological measurement system, the preparation time for machining the work piece and the setting accuracy were improved, the rework rate was reduced, and the mold manufacturing process was shortened. Through the advancement, standardzation, and automation of the mold part manufacturing process, we have improved productivity by minimizing low-value-added repetitive tasks. In addition, the measurement time was reduced by more than 50% and the machining measurement rate was improved by more than 20%, eliminating repetitive work for correcting machining defects, and reducing the work preparation time by more than 15% through automatic setting.
