The mold is widely used for mass production in present industry. Also, product cycle time is faster, for this request, high productivity improvement in mold machining is required. And, In case of mold manufacturing company, the delivery shortening is required to quickly manufacture new product. Therefore, we aim for the delivery shortening though the method of machining time shortening in mold machining. On this paper, first, we made the NC-code of Insert die-casting as the object model using PowerMill. And then, analyzed cutting force by Toolpath in Insert mold machining using Production Module of Advantedge which is cutting force analysis program. After that, we came up with the optimum conditions of productivity improvement throughout the analysis result of before and after optimization of cutting force, machining time variation, and surface roughness by changing min tangential force to 80, 85, 90% of max tangential force.

The roller gear cam can control the rotational follower periodically by attaching several roller on the circumstance of follower shaft and it is widely used in non-backlash and precise actuating mechanism such as index table or ATC of machine tools. For machining the roller gear cam, 5 axis CNC machine tool is used and the geometric principle of CAM mechanism must be adopted to generate the NC-code and to develop the special CAD/CAM software because there is not commercial CAM system to machine the roller gear cam. The maker of the specially developed software in domestic user is generally from Japan or Taiwan. However these softwares do not reflect the post processing technique for finish machining in the module. Also, there is some limitation for further new application of itself and it needs higher costs for further application. In this study, the CAD/CAM software to overcome these problem was developed. And its reliability was verified by applying it in 5-axis CNC machining. Finally, the experimental result conducted in the 5-axis machining show good consistency in the movement of follower along the flute and in its Size.

In recent years, it has been variously developed for testing the accuracy of circular motion of NC machine tools, for example Telescoping Ball Bar Method by Bryan,Circular Test Method by Knapp and r $_{- \theta}$ Mathod by Tsutsumi etc., but it is not yet settled in the code of measuring methods of motion errors of NC machine tools, because of errors of measuring units and sensors, and also especially the difficulties of centering of measuring units. In this paper, in use of magnetic type linear scale with resolution of 0.5 .mu. m and tick pulses come out from computer, it has become possible for detecting of linear displacement of radial errors and measuring of revolution angle of circular motion of NC machine tools.

A conversational programming system for turning processes was studied to enhance the user friendlness of an NC by adopting man-machine interface functions through Visual C $^{++}$ programming tool under the Windows 95 environment. Shop floor programming performance was incorporated in the developed CAM module. In order to increase flexibility of the man-machine interface, graphic based programmin tool have been developed. An NC turning machine equipped whit an open architecture PCNC was used as a test bed of the system. Perfomance of the system was verified through case studies..

In this paper, the techniques for graphic simulation of material removal process are described. The concepts of the bounding box and base plane are proposed. With these concepts, a real-time shaded display of a Z-map model being milled by a cutting tool following an NC path can be implemented very efficiently. The base planes make it possible to detect the visible face of Z-map model effectively. And the bounding box of tool sweep volume provides minimum area of screen to be updated. The proposed techniques are suitable for implementation in raster graphic device and need a few memories and a small amount of calculation. Proposed method is written in C and executable on MS-Windows95 and Window-NT.

본 논문에서는 복합형상의 금형을 가공하기 위하여 필요한 공구와 가공경로를 자동으로 생성해 주는 자동공정계획(CAPP)방법을 제시한다. 금형곡면은 일반적으로 복잡한 형상의 자유곡면들의 조합으로 이루어 지는데 육면체 형상의 소재로부터 원하는 금형곡면을 가공하는데는 수십시간의 기계가공 시간이 소요되며 또한 NC Code를 준비하는데도 같은정도의 시간이 소요된다. 금형곡면의 NC가공에 있어서 또다른 어려움은 공구의 과부하와 공구간섭이 빈번하게 발생할 수 있다는 점이다. 제안하는 자동공정계획방법은 전처리, 공정계획, 공구경로 생성의 3단계로 구성된다. 자동공정계획시스템의 입력정보는 1) 생성될 곡면형상 2) 가공할 소재형상 3) 가공공구 셀(드릴, 볼 엔드밀, 플렛 엔드밀), 절삭성 데이타등이다. 전처리 단계에서는 곡면모델러로부터 생성된 입력 형상을 Z-map이라 부르는 자료구조로 변환한다. 두번째 단계에서는 절삭 가공작업의 순서가 사용되는 공구와 함께 후방순환법에 의하여 결정된다. 그리고 실제 가공될 NC공구경로가 마지막 세번째 단계에서 생성된다.

This paper presents a new model of NC verification in NC milling using z-map. The model can describe the motion of machine tool like a real machine effectively. The model uses x, y, and z directional feed rate as well as cutting data for modeling Z-map of workpiece. The model verifies the over-cut, the under-cut and the surface topography using NC codes and cutting conditions. To investigate the performance of the model, simulation study was carried out. As the results, the model gave the geometry accuracy of workpiece, the surface topography, and the chip loads.

Methodology of volumetric error identification is presented to improve the accuracy of NC machine tools by using a reference artifact and a touch trigger probe. Homogeneous transformation matrix and kinematic chain are used for modeling the geometric and thermal errors of a three-axis vertical machining center. The reference artifact is designed and fabricated to identify the model parameters by machine tool metrology. Parameters in the error model are able to be identified and updated by direct measurement of the reference artifact on the machine tool under the actual conditions which include the thermal interactions of error sources. The proposed method can speed up and simplify volumetric error identification processes.
