Diamond turning machines have, been used for the processing of surface like a mirror with the control scheme of minimizing shape error, Ultra-precision diamond fuming is applied to produce highly precision optical components required not only a high machining accuracy but also a good surface roughness. Al-6061 is widely used as optical parts such as laser reflector's mirror or multimedia instrument. In this study, thermal-imaged Al flat mirrors are fabricated by SPDT. The surface roughness 3.472 nm Ra, power 2 fringe(at 632.8 nm) and irregularity 1 fringe(at 632.8 nm) for form waviness of thermal-imaged Al flat mirror are very satisfied to the required specification in industry.

The purpose of this paper is to establish an effective inspection system by using OMM(ON-Machine Measurement) system. This allows us to reduce the manufacturing lead time by separating the inspection process from manufacturing system. As a first step, the inspection process planning is accomplished by determining the number of measuring points, their locations, measuring path and their sequence. Subsequently, we generate measuring G-codes to be transferred to the machining center through RS232C, and then the inspection process will be performed for each shape. Analysing obtained measuring data, the dimensional tolerance will be validated.

The surface texture of a product is generally produced by etching or sandblasting. However, these techniques have problems related to repeatability and environmental pollution. Since current milling machines can produce small parts at the micrometer or nanometer level, the resolution of milling exceeds the manufactured dimensions of the surface texture produced by etching or sand-blasting. A method for generating surface texture by milling is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed method was demonstrated by actual milling using a three- or five-axis control machine, and the machined surface texture was measured with an interferometer to allow comparison with the designed shape. The measurement results demonstrate that the proposed method can generate a wide-area surface texture with good machining repeatability.

This paper deals with the study on the cutting characteristics in ball-end milling process. First of all, the effects of the geometric cutting conditions such as the cutting speed, feedrates and the path interval on the surface integrity were evaluat-ed by the analytical and the experimental approaches. Secondly, the cutting mechanism model was developed to predict the cutting force accurately. It is possible for the proposed model to predict the shape error, estimate system stability and build the reliable adaptive control system. A large amount of experimental set are performed to show the validities of the proposed theories and to investigate the effect of cutting geometry such as rubbing effects, burr effects and etc.

This thesis is concerned with the study on the characteristics of the cutting resistance occurring in finish machining of hardened steels such as carbon tool steel and alloy tool steel by a ceramic tool with nose radius. For the purpose, the shape of cutting cross-section made at nose part of the tool was analyzed geometrically and the wear mechanism on the flank face of the ceramic tool is investigated. In order to investigate the characteristics of cutting resistance two categories of cutting conditions are suggested, along with geometrical analysis. One category includes the conventional cutting parameters such as feed and depth of cut, another containing new cutting parameters of thickness of cut and width of cut etc. Thickness of cut width of cut and area of undeformed chip section formed by the condition of engagement between workpiece and cutting tool are determined as the function of feed, depth of cut and nose radius of cutting too, And an effective approach angle is determined by depth of cut and nose radius.

Conical horn is used in many high frequency ultrasonic horns, to achieve a longitudinal vibration mode across a wide ultrasonic tool horn output surface. Modal analysis is method for designing tuned ultrasonic tool horn and for the prediction natural frequency of ultrasonic tool horn vibration mode. The design of ultrasonic horn is based on prototype estimate obtained by FEM analysis. The FEM simulated ultrasonic tool horn is built and characterized experimentally through laser vibrometer and electrical impedance analysis. In this paper, FEM analysis is developed to predict the natural frequency of ultrasonic tool horn and use of in the optimal design of ultrasonic horn shape.

A biarc is a curve connecting two circular arcs with the constraints of tangent continuity so that it can represent the free form currie approximately connecting several biarcs with the tangent continuity. Since a biarc consists of circular arcs, the offset curve of the curve represented by biarcs can be easily obtained. Besides. if the tool path is represented by biarcs, the efficiency of machining is improved and the amount of data is decreased. When approximating a curve with biarcs, the location of the point where two circular arcs meet each other plays an important part in determining the shape of a biarc. In this thesis, the optimum point where two circular arcs meet is calculated using the tangent information of the curve to approximate so that it takes less calculation time to approximate due to the decrease of the number of iterations.

This study is about Jig used in wiring when we make Probecard and Large Scale Intergrated Electronic Circuit. The most universal wiring method is molding with Bond. Polymer film is punched down and adhesives is applied after wiring. Due to shrinkage and modification many problems still have happened in the process of molding. To solve these problems, ceramic plate was introduced in the study. Using Laser, an experiment of microhole treatment on ceramic plate was proceeded. Laser energy, assistance gas, and special features by purity degree were analyzed with the 35W low capacity YAG-Laser. In the condition of energy 0.08J, frequency 20Hz and interval time 200$mutextrm{s}$, about 70${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ microhole was adequate for the Probecard Jig. In the purity experiment of ceramic materials, high purity ceramic met with good result for microhole. But the price is too high. The shape and size of holes machined combustion gas $O_2$ were better than those in $N_2$ and Ar, the inert gas.

As tools for machining precision components, end mills and ball end mills are widely used. For the end mills have longer cylindrical shape comparing diameter, liable to deflect and induce deterioration of surface roughness. Tool geometry parameters and cutting process have complex relations with each other. So, It is hard to determine hew to select optimal tool geometry. So, to improve the stiffness, relationship between cutting process and tool geometry must be studied. In this study, relations between grinding wheel geometry, setting condition and tool geometry are revealed. For the purpose of studying relations between each parameter, the equivalent diameter of tool has been calculated assuming tool as a simple beam. By the various cutting simulations and experiments, tool geometry and cutting process has been studied.

In order to reduce lead-time and cost, recently the technology of Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (PR/M) has been used widely. So various RP/M methods have been developed and these systems commercialized several years ago. But we have carried out rapid product, such as sphere, by the milling process instead of RP system. in the case of sphere with three-dimensional shape. the machining method using conventional milling machine has resulted in some troubles because of its deformation and lack of stiffness which is due to usual work piece set up method. In this paper, the feasibility of milling process which is divided into two steps such as the-upper-and-1ower-face milling process using supporting material were investigated and suggested.
