This paper describes new methods to minimize the cutting time in zigzag milling operation of two dimensional polygonal surfaces. Previous works have been focused on mainly experimental approaches by considering some machining parameters such as, spindle speed, depth of cut, cutter traverse rate, cutter diameter, number of teeth, tool wear, life of tool, and so on. However, in this study, we considered two geometrical factors one by one in order to see the effect separately, which are the length of cut and the number of cutter traverse. In an N-sided concave or convex polygon, an algorithm has been developed which minimize the total length of cut. Also, a heuristic approach was used to minimize the number of cutter traverse.

To realize 2-dimensional vibrational micro cutting in milling and drilling, etc. where the tools rotate, it could be a promising way to vibrate a workpiece instead of a rotating tool itself. In this study, an excitation work-table was developed using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged. The trochoidal trajectory of a cutting tool which is necessary for 2D vibrational cutting is enabled in the excitation condition of higher excitation frequency and larger amplitude of vibration and the cutting condition of smaller diameter of cutting tool and lower spindle speed. The various trochoidal trajectories of a cutting tool could be generated in the excitation work-table by adjusting the input voltages to two piezoelectric materials and the phase between the two voltages and the trajectories could be readily used for the 2D vibrational micro cutting.

For domestic aircraft industry, not mass production of components is limited, small production scale of the order is made by part because many kinds of hundreds of thousands of kinds of small quantity batch production system are taking. But the high reliability and stability are required during the processing because they require high precision parts are required. It is found that when C-axis rotation speed was increased, the diameter of the cutting tool decreased with increasing surface roughness, while the turn-mail feed rate was increased with increasing the surface roughness.

The factors which can improve tool life in machining are consisted of tool geometries, tool materials, coating methods. cutting environments, cutting conditions and so on. Cutting speed in cutting conditions is one of the important factors which can directly influence on the tool life. This paper deals the machinability which is concerned about the cutting direction and the tilt angle of fret form surface in hot die steel(STD I I). The NC datum were analysrd and the effective tool diameters were calculated according to the change of tilt angle the program which can continue the cutting speed with the change of spindle revolution is developed.

An MCP (Microchannel Plate) is a secondary electron multiplier to detect and amplify electrons. An MCP has many rnicrochannels whose diameters range from 10 to 100pm and whose lengths range from 40 to 100times of the diameter. Each microchannel of the MCP amplifies electrons over IOOOtimes by the secondary electron emission. Even though MCPs have high performance for electron amplification, the application of MCPs is limited to high performance electronic equipments because of their high fabricating cost and the limit of increasing their size due to the conventional fabrication process. Therefore, in this work, microchannels of the MCP are manufactured by micro-drilling to reduce the cost of the MCP and to increase their size. Alumina green body with epoxy binder was machined for fabricating microchannels using a high speed air turbine spindle and micro-drills with diamond grinding abrasives. Then alumina MCP was fabricated through the sintering of the machined alumina green body.

An experimental study on drilling of stainless steel is conducted using TiAlN coated drills and HSS twist drills with several cutting conditions; feed rate, spindle rotational speed, and dry/wet cutting. The effects of number of hole on the thrust force are examined by cutting force measurement. The flank wear of the drills and the change of hole diameter are quantitatively observed using a vision system. It is found that the thrust force in drilling with TiAlN coated drills decrease under dry and wet machining, whereas the flank wear resistance is improved.

A high-precision centerless grinding machine has been recognized as a core equipment performing the finish outer-diameter grinding process of ferrules which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, in order to realize the high-precision centerless grinding machine, the structural characteristic analysis and evaluation are carried out on the virtual prototype consisted of the steel bed, hydrostatic GW and RW spindle systems, hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The loop stiffnesses of centerless grinding machine are estimated based on the relative deformations between GW and RW caused by the grinding forces. And the simulated results illustrate that the concrete-filled bed has the considerable effect on the improvement of the structural stiffness of centerless grinding machine.

High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a structural characteristic analysis and evaluation were carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The loop stiffness values of the centerless grinding machine were estimated based on the relative displacements between the GW and RW caused by grinding forces. The simulated results illustrated that a concrete-filled bed considerably improved the structural stiffness and accuracy of a high-precision centerless grinding machine.

Liquid breakup under the variation of AC frequency has been studied experimentally in the electrohydrodynamic atomization. The effect of parameters such as charging voltage, flow rate, nozzle tip inner diameter and power frequency have been considered. This work was performed to investigate the experimental analysis for the effect of AC frequency on breakup process, the mapping of occurrence of disintegration region, and the relationship between the applied power and the droplet radius. The experimental results show that the increase of applied voltage in a certain frequency band leads to a reduction in the droplet size within the limits from 50Hz to 400Hz. The transition phenomena from dripping mode to spindle mode were observed under the band of sudden fall of droplet radius changing ratio, and the synchronous region were produced within the range of applied voltage from 5kV to 6kV.

The application of fast tool servo (FTS) for diamond turning has been investigated extensively. This paper focuses on the fabrication of the sinusoidal microstructure on a roller, which generated by a piezoelectric-assisted FTS. The influence of the machining parameters on the microstructure configuration was investigated. The experiment results point out that the configuration of the machined microstructure depends mainly on the spindle speed, the diameter of roller and the driving frequency of FTS. The calculation method of the microstructure dimension was reported. The turning test results show that the diamond tool can be moved up to 1kHz without any reinjected vibration in the machining and the peak-to-valley amplitude of the machined sinusoidal microstructure is about 12<${\mu}m$
