The most important thing in measuring the tool wear is to set up the measurement base. The end mill that is being used for machining of die is difficult to set up the base and to measure the tool wear because of geometric properties of that such as a helix and relief angle. In this study, a new instrument using spindle orientation function in end milling is developed to measure the tool wear and evaluated by the measuring system on the machine. Finally, this new method makes possible the wear measurement of same position and reduces the measuring time compared with the measuring methods such as the microscope and CCD.

This paper presented a new model of virtualized CNC milling machine. The model verifies the over cut, the under cut and the surface roughness using NC file generated from CAM and cutting condition. The model uses Z-map model to verify workpiece. In this paper, the model used the velocities of x, y and z direction and obtained a center point of a hall end mill for modeling Z-map of workpiece. To investigate the performance of the model, simulation study was carried out. As the results, the model gave geometry accuracy of workpiece, the surface roughness and the chip loads in finish cutting that can predict tool chipping. The virtualized CNC machine can he used a flat end mill, a ball end mill and a rounded end mill.

After the micro turning lathe was developed in the last year by AMR Laboratory in Yeungnam university, a micromilling machine is developed for micro/meso machining. This machine is integrated with PZT-driven micro-sliders, micro-linear encoders, aerostatic spindle which has maximum 150,000 rpm. It is applicable to milling and drilling of micro scale. This paper presents the possibility of micro/meso machining and characteristics of micro end milling process by using micro machine. A machining of micro parts using 0.2 mm flat end mill was achieved by micro-milling machine. Experimental results show the machining capability and positional accuracy of this machine is good enough for machining micro parts.

High speed milling process is emerging as an important fabrication process benefits include the ability to fabricate micro and meso-scale parts out of a greater range of materials and with more varied geometry. It also enables the creation of micro and meso-scale molds for injection molding. Factors affecting surface roughness have not been studied in depth for this process. A series of experiments has been conducted in order to begin to characterize the factors affecting surface roughness and determine the range of attainable surface roughness values for the high speed milling process. It has previously been shown that run-out creates a greater problem for the dimensional accuracy of pans created by high speed milling process. And run-out also has a more significant effect on the surface quality of milled parts. The surface roughness traces reveal large peak to valley variations. This run-out is generated by spindle dynamics and tool geometry. In order to investigate the relationship between tool alignment errors and surface roughness the scallop generating mechanism in the ball-end milling with tool alignement errors has been studied and simulated. The results indicate that tool alignment errors have no significant effects ell the dimension of scallops in for flat planes.

Indexable end mills, which consist of inserts and cutter body, have been widely used in roughing of parts in the mold industry. The geometry and distribution of inserts on cutter body are determined by application. This paper proposes analytical cutting force model for indexable flat end-milling process. Developed cutting force model uses the cutting-condition-independent cutting force coefficients and considers runout, cutter deflection and size effect for the accurate cutting force prediction. Unlike solid type endmill, the tool geometry of indexable endmill is variable according to the axial position due to the geometry and distribution of inserts on the cutter body. Thus, adaptive algorithm that calculates tool geometry data at arbitrary axial position was developed. Then number of flute, angular position of flute, and uncutchip thickness are calculated. Finally, presented model was validated through some experiments with aluminum workpiece.

The simulation of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) machining facilitates the selection of optimal cutting parameter for high machining efficiency and better surface quality. In this study, This paper proposes a dual-dexel model to represent the fiber laminate with computational geometry method to calculate the fiber length removed per revolution and fiber cutting angles. A flat end milling simulation software is developed in C# to simulate and display the CFRP milling process. During simulation, fiber lengths, fiber cutting angle and engaged cutting angle can be displayed in real-time. A CFRP plate with different angles in different layer is used to compare the simulation results.

절삭속도 및 이송속도가 평엔드밀로 하향절삭 가공된 측벽 형상에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통하여 알아보고자 한다. 실험은 절삭속도 및 공구 직경, 절삭날 당 이송거리를 변수로 하여 수행하며, 실험 결과로서 배분력과 축방향 형상을 측정한다. 연구 결과, 이송속도를 절삭속도로 나눈 값에 비례하는 날 당 이송거리가 작을수록 축방향 형상정밀도가 높아지는 것이 확인되었다. 아울러, 축방향 형상은 서로 다른 기울기를 갖는 두 직선이 특이점에서 만나는 형태로 단순화 할 수 있다. 그러므로 운전 중 작업자에 의한 형상정밀도의 추정 및 날 당 이송거리 조정에 의한 개선이 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a numeric model for the prediction of ideal surface roughness in the rounded end mill was derived from the shape of the tool and feed per tooth. The model is compared with the well-known model of a ball and flat end mill. The ideal surface roughness was matched to the actual surface roughness by the linear equation, from which the empirical constant should be gathered from the test machining systems in the industry.

This paper presents an accurate cutting simulation and feedrate scheduling system for CNC machining. This system is composed of a cutting simulation part and a feedrate scheduling part. The cutting simulation part computes the geometric informations and calculates the cutting forces in CNC machining. The cutting force model using cutting-condition-independent coefficients was introduced for flat end milling and ball end milling. The feedrate scheduling part divides original blocks of NC code into smaller ones with optimized feedrates to adjust the peak value of cutting forces to reference forces. Some machining examples show that the developed system can control the cutting force at desired levels.

Although conventional contour parallel tool paths obtained from geometric information have successfully been used to produce desired shapes, they seldom consider physical process concerns such as cutting forces and chatter. In this paper, we introduce an optimized contour parallel path that maintains a constant material removal rate at all times. The optimized tool path is based on a conventional contour parallel tool path. Additional tool path segments are appended to the basic path to achieve constant cutting forces and to avoid chatter vibrations over the entire machining area. The algorithm was implemented for two-dimensional contiguous end milling operations with flat end mills, and cutting tests were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method.
