Micro structures which are widely used at various fields are commonly fabricated by lithograph, etching and laser methods. Recently, with the emergence of micro tools and ultra-precision machine tools, fabrication of the micro structures obtained using end-milling are studied. However, there are some problems due to the diameter of the micro end-mill getting smaller below $100{\mu}m$. The micro run-out resulted from miniaturization of end-mills have influence seriously on accuracy of micro structures. The error of run-out with a tooling jig showed a decrease of about $9.3{\mu}m$. Furthermore, micro structures with width of $30{\mu}m$ could be applied through experiments of slot machining obtained using 30 and $50{\mu}m$ end-mill. Also, narrow angle structures with $30^{\circ}$ angle could be applied through analysis of machining acute angle structures. Based on basic experiments, micro fluidics channels and spiral patterns for air bearing were machined.

In order to improve the fuel economy and dynamic behavior of automobiles, the weight reduction tendency of automobile parts is obvious. Also, in order to maximize assembly and maintenance convenience, various parts are integrated and modularized. Multi-piece methods require many manufacturing processes and become a factor of lowering the strength of parts. It is advantageous to overcome the disadvantages by integrally manufacturing to reduce the processing steps and ensure the strength of the parts. However, when it is necessary to process in a narrow space inside the part, it is impossible to process with the existing spindle. The angle head spindle is only a component of a machine tool, but it is a core part that requires high technology and is highly utilizable in products requiring high precision machining. Therefore, various and continuous studies needs for angle head spindles in areas such as vibration absorption, operational safety, excellent dimensional stability, and strength. In this paper, we propose an optimal design for angle head spindle by performing structural analysis and shape optimization for angle head spindle gear and case.

In this paper. a mechanistic model is first constructed to predict three-dimensional cutting forces, and the uncut chip th thickness is calculated by following the movements of the position of the center of a cutter, which varies with the nominal feed, cutter deflection and runout. For general implementation to a real machining, this paper presents the method that determines constant cutting force coefficients, irrespective of the cutting conditions or cutter rotation angles. In addition, this study presents the approach which estimates runout-related parameters. the runout offset and its location angle, using only one measurement of cutting forces. For more accurate cutting force predictions, the size effect has to be considered in the cutting force model. In this paper, two approximate methods are suggested since the strict approach is practically impossible due to a measurement problem. The size effect is individually considered for narrow and wide cuts.

오늘날 자동차의 연비 향상 과 동적 거동 향상을 위해서 자동차 부품의 경량화 및 간소화 시대가 형성되고 있다. 설계와 제작의 간소화를 위해 제품 형상을 다양한 부품의 일체화로 진행되고 있다. 예를 들어 3개의 제품을 1개의 제품화 시키기 위해서 아주 협소한 부분까지 제품 가공하는 일이 발생되고 있다. 기존의 부품의 경우 가공의 편의성을 위해 정밀 다이캐스팅 또는 주물 생산으로 가공 후 조립하는데 다중 조립체(multi-piece) 방식은 공정수가 많이 필요로 하며, 부품의 정밀도와 강도를 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 가공 공정을 단순화 시키고 부품의 강도를 확보하기 위해서 일체형으로 제작하는 것이 단점을 극복하는데 매우 유리하지만 깊고 좁은 포켓 부분을 가공 할 경우 장비 자체 스핀들로는 가공이 불가능하다. 문제점을 해결하고자 절삭가공에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 다축 복합가공 기술은 이러한 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라, 지금까지 하나의 공작기계로 여러 공정에 따른 유연한 절삭가공이 어려웠던 복합 형상에도 절삭가공이 가능하다는 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 고가의 장비로 인하여 제조경비 상승과 기계를 운영할 수 있는 기술자가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 5축 절삭 가공기에서는 깊고 협소한 구간의 제품을 생산할 때 공구의 간접으로 제품 생산에 사이클 타임이 늘어남은 물론 가공상에 문제점들이 많이 발생된다. 따라서 전용 공작기계 및 다축 복합가공기를 사용해야 한다. 그 대안으로 3축 머시닝센터에서 5축 이상의 다축 복합가공을 할 수 있는 특수 공구로서의 앵글 스핀들(angle spinde)이 사용될 수 있다. 앵글 스핀들 사용함으로 가공 진동 흡수, 낮은 열 발생과 작동 안정성, 우수한 치수 안정성, 강도 확보와 같은 분야에서 다양하고 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.

Generally, a metal slitting saw is plain milling cutter with thickness less than 3/16 inch. This is used for cutting a workpiece that high dimensional accuracy and surface finish is necessary. A small thin milling cutter like a metal slitting saw is useful for machining a narrow groove. In this case, built up edge(BUE) is severe at each tooth and affects the surface integrity of the machined surface and tool wear. It is well known that tool geometry and cutting conditions are decisive factors to remove BUE. In this paper, we optimized the geometry of the milling cutter and selected cutting conditions to remove BUE by the experimental investigation. The experiment was planned with Taguchi method based on the orthogonal array of design factors such as coating, rake angle, number of tooth, cutting speed, feed rate. Response table was obtained from the number of built-up edge generated at tooth. The optimized tool geometry and cutting conditions could be determined through response table. In addition, the relative effect of factors was identified bh the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Finally, coating and cutting speed turned out important factors for BUE.

In this paper, controlling shape of optical fiber tip for endoscope was investigated for eliminating blind spot. The blind spot of endoscope is generated by divergence angle of optical fiber, so it is easy to generate blind spot when tightly focusing. In order to eliminate this region, fiber tip is necessary to be controlled as convex or concave. Illumination simulation of convex and concave type of fiber tip in the endoscope was in progress, so the distance of non- blind region was investigated in each case. As well as the simulation, the tip was fabricated as concave shape by UV laser machining. Then the beam radiation was measured to observe the blind region. The result showed that controlling the fiber tip as convex or concave shape makes the narrow blind region of illumination in endoscope.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a novel method of fabricating nanometer scale patterns. It is a simple process with low cost, high throughput and resolution. NIL creates patterns by mechanical deformation of an imprint resist and physical contact process. The imprint resist is typically a monomer or polymer formulation that is cured by heat or UV light during the imprinting process. Stiction between the resist and the stamp is resulted from this physical contact process. Stiction issue is more important in the stamps including narrow pattern size and wide area. Therefore, the antistiction layer coating is very effective to prevent this problem and ensure successful NIL. In this paper, an antistiction layer was deposited and characterized by PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method for metal stamps. Deposition rates of an antistiction layer on Si and Ni substrates were in proportion to deposited time and 3.4 nm/min and 2.5 nm/min, respectively. A 50 nm thick antistiction layer showed 90% relative transmittance at 365 nm wavelength. Contact angle result showed good hydrophobicity over 105 degree. $CF_2$ and $CF_3$ peaks were founded in ATR-FTIR analysis. The thicknesses and the contact angle of a 50 nm thick antistiction film were slightly changed during chemical resistance test using acetone and sulfuric acid. To evaluate the deposited antistiction layer, a 50 nm thick film was coated on a stainless steel stamp made by wet etching process. A PMMA substrate was successfully imprinting without pattern degradations by the stainless steel stamp with an antistiction layer. The test result shows that antistiction layer coating is very effective for NIL.
