  • The development of 3D CAM system for the manufacturing of end mills becomes a key approach to save the time and reduce cost for end mills manufacturing. This paper presents the calculation and simulation of end mill tools CNC machining bases on 5-axes CNC grinding machine tool. In this study describes the process of generation and simulation of grinding point data between the tool and the grinding wheels through the machined time. Depend on input data of end mill geometry, wheels geometry, wheel setting, machine setting the end mill configuration and NC code for machining will be generated and visualized in 3 dimension before machining. The 3D visualizations of end mill manufacturing was generated by using OpenGL in C++. The development software was designed by using Microsoft Visual C++, which has many advantages for users, saving time and reducing manufacturing cost.

  • The paper deals with an analysis of an extrusion process with a divided material flow in a combined radial - backward extrusion. The paper discusses the influences of tool geometry such as punch nose angle, relative gap height, die comer radius on material flow and surface expansion into can and flange region. To analyze the process, numerical simulations by the FEM and experiment, an Al alloy as a model material have been performed. Based on the results, the influence of design parameters on the distribution of divided material flow and surface expansion are obtained.

  • To satisfy the requirement for the precision and productivity of machine tools, we need the technique to predict the surface roughness of workpiece under various cutting conditions. The surface roughness is mainly influenced by the ideal roughness i. e., the roughness by feeding quantity and geometry of the tool. In this paper, the surface roughness is divided into three zones and the mathematical models of the three zones are obtained, in consideration of the feeding conditions and tool geometry. Using the mathematical models, we developed a program to calculate the maximum feeding quantity satisfying the required surface roughness of the workpiece. The program is used to calculate the maximum feed for two kinds of the bites used under the real cutting condition.

  • This is an experimental investigation of the temperature generated in a cutting tool during the machining of stainless steel. The temperature results from the wear of the cutting tool are considered in order to investigate the relation between cause and effect of these factors. This possibility has been tested using a thermocouple technique to record temperature vs. time curves for a variety of cutting conditions. This is done by employing a thermocouple inserted on the tool tip near the major cutting edge. Temperature distributions are calculated using finite element method and compared to the contour maps measured by an optical system. It suggests that the temperature gradients and the tool performance will be dependent on certain facotrs in tool geometry when cutting this material.

  • The surface,generated by end milling operation, is deteriorated by tool runout,vibration,friction,tool deflection, etc. In many source,deflection of tool affects to surfave accuracy. To develop a surface accracy model,method for the prediction of the topography of machined surfaces has been developed based on models of machine tool kinematics and cutting tool geometry. This model accounts for not only the ideal geometrical surface, but also the deflection of tool resulted in cutting force. For the more accurate prediction of cutting force,flexible end mill model is used to simulate cutting process. Compute simu;ation have shown the feasibility of the surface generation system.

  • Roughing of tool steel in its hardened state represents a real challenge in the die and meld industry and process improvement depends on research of tool material, coating technique, and lubrication. However, roughing of hardened steels generates extreme heat and without coolant flooding, tool material cannot withstand the high temperature without choosing the right tools with proper coating. This research conducted milling tests using coated ball end mills to study effects of cutting conditions and geometric parameters of ball end mills on the machinability of hardened tool steel. KP4 steel and STD 11 heat treated steels were used in the dry cutting as the workpiece and TiAIN coated ball end mills with side relief angle of 12$^{\circ}$ was utilized in the cutting tests. Cutting forces, tool wear, and surface roughness were measured in the cutting tests. Results from the experiments showed that 85 m/min of cutting speed and 0.32 mm/rev of feed rate were optimum conditions for better surface finish during rough cutting and 0.26mm/rev with the same cutting speed are optimum conditions in the finish cutting.

  • A method for form error prediction in side wall machining with a flat end mill is suggested. Form error is predicted directly from the tool deflection without surface generation by cutting edge locus with time simulation. Developed model can predict the surface form error about three hundred times faster than the previous method. Cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering tool geometry, tool setting error and machine tool stiffness. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up milling and down milling are discussed. The usefulness of the presented method is verified from a set of experiments under various cutting conditions generally used in die and mold manufacturing. This study contributes to real time surface shape estimation and cutting process planning for the improvement of form accuracy.

  • As chip operating frequency increases, there is growing concern about on-chip interconnect inductance. This paper presents a two-step inductance screening tool to select interconnects with significant inductance effects in a VLSI design. Test chips designed in different CMOS technology nodes are examined. The inductance screening results show that 0.1% of the nets in a design have inductance problems with chips running at its operating frequency, supporting the necessity of a screening process instead of adding inductance model to all the nets in the design. The increase in resistance due to geometry scaling will strongly affect the significance of inductance on delay as technology and frequency scale. Since higher frequency worsens inductance problem and geometry scaling alleviates it, inductance screening tool can provide useful guidelines to circuit designers.

  • Machining performance is often limited by chatter vibration at the tool-workpiece interface. Chatter vibration is a type of machining self-excited vibration which originated from the variation in cutting forces and the flexibility of the machine tool structure. Cutting tooling method is one of major factor to chatter vibration in turning process. Even though lots of cutting tooling methods are developed and used in machining process, precise analysis of cutting tooling effect in view of chatter vibration behavior. This study presents numerical and experimental approaches to verify and effects of various cutting tooling geometry and clamping method on the onset of chatter vibration. Acquired knowledge from this study will apply the optimal geometry design of cutting tooling and adjusting of machining process.
