A new concept drill was developed recently (or increasing accuracy and productivity in drilling operation. The burr formation in drilling causes many problems in deburring operation because burrs are formed inside holes and it is difficult to remove them. Burr formations are observed in drilling operation with a new concept drill and are compared with conventional HSS drill. Several workpieces with different materials are drilled with several cutting conditions, velocity and feed rate. The burr in drilling can be classified into three types according to the location of crack. To observe the burr formation mechanism, the cap which is formed with the new concept drill is observed and measured.

Drilling is one of the most important operations in machining industry and usually the most efficient and economical method of cutting a hole in metal. From automobile parts to aircraft components, almost every manufactured product requires that holes are to be drilled for the purpose of assembly, creation of fluid passages, and so on. It is therefore desirable to monitor drill wear and hole quality changes during the hole drilling process. One important aspect in controlling the drilling process is drill wear status monitoring. With the monitoring, we may decide on optimal timing for tool change. The necessity of the detection of tool wear, fracture and the abnormal tool state has been emphasized in the machining process. Accordingly, this paper deals with the cutting characteristics of the hot-rolled high strength steels using common HSS drill. The performance variables include drill wear data obtained from drilling experiments conducted on the workpiece. The results are obtained from monitoring of the cutting force and Acoustic Emission (AE) signals, and from the detection of the abnormal tool state with the computer vision system.

The impact of PVD coatings can be summed up in practical terms: this technology historically complements the best designed tool substrates to enhance cutting performance. PVD coatings are now incorporated in 25% of all HSS tools. The functionality is to extend the machining speed range, improve wear resistance at the cutting edge, and reduce friction at chip/tool contact areas to allow easier chip evacuation. These translate to a larger safe zone, as discussed in the failure mode diagram, for better productivity and higher reliability in machining operations of the customer. PVD coatings therefore represent an enabling technology that extends the application range of cutting tools in response to modern industrial needs. PVD coatings prolong the product life cycle of HSS tools and help this "mature" material to hold its territory against the advent of the newer hardmetal and ceramic tool materials. There is a lot of competitive life left particularly in PVD coated HSS endmills, drills, threading/tapping tools. PM HSS technology further increases the possibilities.ibilities.

In this paper, drill tests were carried out by modifying drill geometry for burr minimization. Final objective of this study is to develop compatible drill shape for minimization of burr formation. These experimented results with modified drill are measured with laser sensor after performing drilling with variable material. Simultaneously, the cutting force and the torque of various drill geometry have been observed with same cutting condition to judge drill stability. As a result, burr was minimized in step drill with 75$^{\circ}$ step angle at every material.

This Experiment was carried out for bur minimization in drilling. New drill geometries are proposed to minimize the burr formation in drilling operation. Three types of drills are made, champer, round and step drill. The burr formed in first cutting by front cutting edge ca be removed in second cutting by the cutting edges in chamfer, round edge and step. New burrs are formed by second cutting and can be minimized according to the change of drill geometry like, chamfer size and angle, corner radius in round drill and step size and angle in step drill. To measure the burr formed in drilling, laser sensor is used.

Drilling tests were carried out using drills with various drill shapes for burr minimization. Final objective of this study is to develop compatible drill shape for minimization of burr formation. For experiments, general carbide drills, round drills, chamfered drills and step drills are designed and manufactured. Burrs are formed by various cutting conditions and in 4 different work materials. Laser sensor is used to measure burr geometries. Cutting forces in drilling are also measured and compared in every drill. As a result of the experiments, step drills with specific step angle and step diameter are suggested for burr minimization.

Micro-drill wear deteriorates accuracy and productivity of the micro components. In order to improve productivity and qualify of micro components, it is required to investigate micro-drill wear exactly. In this study, a machine vision system is proposed to measure the wear of micro-drills using a precision servo stage. Calibration experiments are conducted to compensate for the machine vision system. In this paper, worn volume, area and length are defined as wear amounts. Micro-drill wear is reconstructed as the 3D topography and the quantized wear amount by using the shape from focus (SFF) method and wear parameters. Experiments have been conducted with HSS twist micro-drills and SM45C carbon steel workpieces. Validity of the proposed machine vision system is confirmed through experiments.

Drilling is one of the most important operations performed in the machining industry. And the material of the workpiece has a profound effect on the tool life, the surface finish produced and the overall economy of the process. Hot-rolled high strength steels have been used for automobile structural material, owing to high hardness and machinability of the material. However, in the drilling of hot-rolled high strength steels, the current knowledge of tool wear and machinability are insuf-ficient. There, it is desirable to monitor drill wear status and hole quality changes during the hole drilling process. Accordingly, this paper deals with the cutting characteristics of the hot-rolled high strength steels using common HSS drill. The performance variables include the drilling thrust, torque and drill wear data obtained from drilling experiments con-ducted on the workpiece. Also drill were is measured by acoustic emission system and computer vision system.

In this study, we examined the relationships between the coating film's properties, such as microhardness, adhesion of coating fil $m_strate, and machining tool's life time. Samples were prepared by coating TiN on the 5.5 diameter twist drills using reactive ion plating technology, For measuring microhardness and adhesion of fil $m_strate, HSS plate was used for substrate. TiN coated drill's life time was dependent on the adhesion of fil $m_strate and averagely increased by several ten times more than uncoated drill's. The major parameter affecting TiN coated drill's life time was the strong adhesion between coating film and substrate.ate.

There are many methods in measuring the signal of cutting, but by measuring the multi-signal, we can pick up the wear and chipping of the tool more accurately. Hence, the present study is concerned with analysing the dynamic component as well as the static component measured by the tool dynamometer, finding out which signal is involved in each component, comparing the capability of the cemented carbide drill and the HSS drill, and discussing the chipping of the cemented carbide drill. In addition, discussion is made about the characteristics of the frequency of the torque and thrust in connection with the dynamic component.
