A successful on-line monitoring system for conventional machining operations has the potential to reduce cost, guarantee consistency of product quality, improve productivity and provide a safer environment for the operator. In fee-shape machining, typical signs of tool problems such as vibration, noise, chip flow characteristics and visual signs are almost unnoticeable without the use of special equipment. These characteristics increase the importance of automatic monitoring in fine-shape machining; however, sensing and interpretation of signals are more complex. In addition, the shafts of the micro-tools break before the typical extensive cutting edge of the tool gets damaged. In this study, the existence of a relationship between the characteristics of the cutting force and tool usage was investigated, and tool breakage detection algorithm was developed and the fellowing results are obtained. In data analysis, didn't use a relative error compare which mainly used in established experiment and investigated tool breakage detection algorithm in time domain which can detect AE and cutting force signals more effective and accurate.

With the increased utilization of CAM programs, end-mill processing is most commonly used for machining and metal processing. In particular, hole or shaft machining has high assembly precision, which inevitably leads to high utilization of end mills. However, the analysis of quality characteristics according to the process conditions of end mills is not performed systematically at the site, causing poor quality and productivity. The most influential factor of quality is the runout of the end mill. In this paper, the number of turns of the end mill, number of tool blades, cutting direction, and artificial runout volume were determined to identify the correlation between the epicenter, cylindricality, and surface roughness. Two types of end mills, three levels of runout, three levels of rotational speed, and two cutting directions were considered and 36 rounds of hole processing were conducted. For the analysis of shape characteristics according to the set process variables, the experimental planning method was applied to the measured specimen and the processing characteristics were analyzed according to the runout of the end mill through correlation analysis.

Micro machining of tungsten carbide by electrochemical machining was studied. In ECM, machining conditions and electrolyte should be chosen carefully according to the property of workpiece materials. In this paper, sulfuric acid and nitric acid were used for tungsten carbide machining and machining characteristics were investigated according to machining conditions such as electrolyte, workpiece potential and applied pulse voltage. By using mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, micro structures with sharp edge and good surface quality were obtained. Micro electrochemical turning was also introduced to fabricate micro shafts.

CNC machining is used to fabricate various components. This has led to the development of processing-based industries for the production of automobile, appliances, semiconductors, and rockets. Additionally, this machining has enabled economical mass production of high-quality products in industries. Magnesium alloy with a hexagonal closed packed configuration is prone to difficulties during plastic machining, has a high oxygen affinity, and exhibits poor corrosion resistance to seawater and the atmosphere. In this research, Al alloy A5083 was used to investigate and analyze the surface roughness with a certain depth of cut fixed by the machining center (DVM-500II) and various feed rates, speeds, and processing methods after modeling and simulated machining with Gibbs CAM.

A marine propeller is designed for preventing cavitation priority. Cavitation is a phenomenon which is defined as the vibration or noise by dropping the pressure on the high-speed rotation of the propeller. There has to be a enough thrust on the low-speed rotation for preventing cavitation. Thus, it has to be considered in the increasing of the number of blade and the angle of wing to design the propeller. In addition, flow resistance will be increasing by narrowing the width between blades. So high quality surface roughness of the hub to minimize flow resistance is required. Interference problems with tool and neighboring surfaces often take place from this kind of characteristics of the propeller. During 5-Axis machining of these propellers, the excessive local interference avoidance, necessary to avoid interference, leads to inconsistency of cutter posture, low quality of machined surface. Therefore, in order to increase the surface quality, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. This study, by using a MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance and a MB-spline algorithm for continuous control, is intended to create a 5-Axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality. Also, an effectiveness is confirmed through a verification manufacturing.

The Advantages of hot machining are the reduction of cutting forces, tool wear, and the increase of material removal rates. In this study, a hot-machining using gas flame heating characteristics of milling by CBN tip was analyzed, and the influence of the surface temperature and the depth of cut on the tool life were investigated. The results show that hot machining of tungsten carbide-alloyed is more effective than conventional machining. In addition, some advantages obtained from hot machining, such as decrease of tool wear and cutting force, high surface quality.

Ultrasonic machining technology has been developed over recent years for the manufacture of and quality-assured precision parts for several industrial application such as optics, semiconductors, aerospace, and automobile application. The past decade has seen a tremendous in the use of ceramics in structural application. The excellent thermal, chemical and wear resistance of these material can be realized because of recent improvements in the overall strength and uniformity of advanced ceramics. Ultrasonic machining, in which abrasive particles in slurry with water are presented to the work surface in the presence of an ultrasonic-vibrating tool, is process which should be of considerable interest, as its potential is not limited by the electrical or chemical characteristics of the work material, making it suitable for application to ceramics. This paper intends to further the understanding of the basic mechanism of ultrasonic machining for brittle material and ultrasonic machining of ceramics based in the fracture-mechanic concept has been analyzed.

In mold and die shops, NC machining process mainly affects the quality of the machined surface and the manufacturing time of molds and dies. The estimation of NC machining time is a prerequisite to measure the machining productivity and to generate a process schedule, which generally includes the process sequence and the completion time of each process. It is required to take into account dynamic characteristics in the estimation, such as the ac/deceleration of NC machine controllers. Intensive observations at start and end points of NC blocks show that a minimum feedrate, a key variable in a machining time model, has a close relation to a block distance, an angle between blocks, and a command feedrate. Thus, this study addresses regression models for the minimum feedrate estimation on short and long NC blocks considering these parameters. Furthermore, machining time estimation models by the four types of feedrate behaviors are suggested based on the estimated minimum feedrate. To show the validity of the proposed machining time model, the study compares the estimated with the actual machining time in the sculptured surface machining of several mold dies.

This paper presents the construction of an ultra-precision machining system and machining experiments using the developed system. The system is composed of air bearing system, granite bed, air pad, and linear feeding mechanism. The cutting conditions have great effect on the surface quality in ultra-precision machining. the ultra-precision machining is mainly processed by several ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ depth of cut and feed rate. For this, tools with sharper cutting edge and less tool wear are needed. To satisfy these requirement, diamond is generally used as a tool material for ultra-precision machining. In order to evaluate the cutting characteristics of the PCD and MCD tools on the aluminum alloy, the machining experiments performed using the developed system.
