A reliable tool wear monitoring technique is the one of important aspects for achieving an integrated and self-adjusting manufacturing system. In this paper, a tool wear estimation approach for turning is proposed. This approach uses the model of cutting force, spindle displacement and their relation. A series of experiments were conducted by designing experimental techniques to determine the relationship between flank wear and cutting force coefficient as well as cutting parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut and feed. The proposed model performance has shown that the spindle displacement model predicts tool wear with high accuracy and spindle displacement signal is possible to replace cutting force signal.

Off-line feed rate scheduling is an advanced methodology to automatically determine optimum feed rates for the optimization of NC code. However, the present feed rate scheduling systems have lim~tations to generate the optimized NC codes because they use the material removal rate or non-generalized cutting force model. In this paper, a feed rate scheduling system based on an improved cutting force model that can predrct cutting forces exactly in general machining was presented. Original blocks of NC code were divided to small ones with the modified feed rates to adjust the peak value of cutting forces to a constant vale. The characteristic of acceleration and deceleration for a given machrne tool was considered when off-line feed rate scheduhng was performed. Software for the NC code optimization was developed and applied to pocket machining simulation.

virtual computer numerical control(VCNC) arises from the concept that one can experience pseudo-real machining with a computer-numerically-controlled(CNC) machine before actually cutting an object. To achieve accurate VCNC, it is important to determine abnormal behavior, such as chatter, before cutting. Detecting chatter requires an understanding of the dynamic cutting force model. In general, the cutting process is a closed loop system the consists of structural and cutting dynamic. Machining instability, namely chatter, results from the interaction between these two dynamics. Several previous reports have predicted stability for a single path, using a simple cutting force model without run out and penetration effects. This study considers both tool run out and penetration effects, using experimental modal analysis, to obtain predictions that are more accurate. The machining stability during a corner cut, which is a typical transient cut, was assessed from an evaluation of the cutting configurations at the corner.

The cutting mechanism of ultrasonic vibration machining is characterized as two phases, that is, an impact at the cutting edge and a reduction of cutting force due to non-contact interval between tool and workpiece. In this paper, in order to identify cutting dynamics of a system with ultrasonically vibrated cutting tool, an ARMA modeling is performed on experimental cutting force signals which have a dominant effect on cutting dynamics. The aim of this study is, through Dynamic Date System methodology, to find the inherent characteristics of an ultrasonic vibration cutting process by considering natural frequency and damping coefficient. Surface roughness and stability of cutting process under ultrasonic vibration are also considered

Fuzzy control is proposed to regulate cutting force in turning operations under varying cutting conditions. The traditional linear controllers based on crisp mathematical model cannot effectively control cutting force becasue of the nonlinear dynamics of turning operations. The proposed fuzzy controller is based on operator experience and expert knowledge. The membership functions for the inputs and the output of the controller are designed. Cutting force is regulated by adjusting feedrate according to the variation of cutting conditions. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated by experiments. The results of experiments show that the proposed fuzzy controller has a good cutting force regulation over a wide range of cutting conditions.

This paper aims at developing a torque model for the high-speed tapping with small-diameter taps. As recent industries such as automobile and information technology grows, taps smaller than 5mm in diameter are needed much more. In that occasion, the friction force between a tap surface and a workpiece plays much more important role in the tapping torque than in he larger tapping. Tapping mechanism was analysed based on the tap geometry. It has two steps : one is a forward cutting composed of the chamfered threading and full threading and the other is the backward cutting. The torque by the cutting force in the chamfered threading is calculated using the cutting area and the specific cutting force while the torque by the friction force, which is rather dominant than the cutting force both in the full threading and in the backward cutting, is calculated using the normal force on the threads and the friction coefficient. The experiment has shown that the results by the proposed torque model fit quite well with the acutal measurements within the error of 10%.

Generally, cutting force models use a sin function method to calculate chip thickness. In slot end milling, the error from a sin function method is much bigger than other machining because a tool rotation angle in cutting is much larger. Thus in this paper, a new method to calculate chip thickness was suggested and evaluated. In a new method, tool position data according to tool rotation are checked and stored so that it is possible correct chip thickness is calculated. Cutting force waveforms simulated from a sin function method and a new method and measured waveforms from experiments were compared and error percentages were obtained. Finally, a new method had good results for simulating cutting force in slot end milling.

There have been numerous studies on end milling processes. However, these have been restricted to the application of tools for special cutting purposes. A side milling cutter can handle long, deep, and open slots in a more efficient manner, and it provides the best stability and productivity for this type of milling. In this paper, a method to predict the cutting forces in side milling is described, and simulated cutting forces are compared with those obtained by cutting experiments. In particular, the side milling process easily generates relative motion between the tools and the workpiece because it produces intermittent cutting forces that cause vibrations over a wide frequency range. Therefore, the application of a dynamic cutting model instead of a static cutting model is appropriate to forecast the cutting forces more accurately.

The purpose of this paper is to further extend the theoretical understanding of the dynamic end milling process and to derive a computational model to predict the milling force components. A comparative assessment of different cutting force models is performed to demonstrate that the instantaneous shear plane based formulation is physically sound and offers the best agreement with experimental results. The procedure for the calculation of the model parameters used in the cutting force model, based on experimental data, has been presented. The validity of the proposed computational model has been experimentally verified through a series of cutting tests.
