The purpose of this study is to improve the roundness of CNC turning so that helps the operator to choose the right turning conditions to produce a product with the given parameters. This paper focuses on determining the optimal levels of machining factors for circular shaft with CNC turning. For this purpose, the optimization of factors is performed based on experimental design method. A design and analysis of experiments are conducted to study the effects of these factors on the roundness by using the SIN ratio, analysis of ANOVA, and F-test. Factors, namely, fixed pressure, wall thickness, depth of cut, and feed rate are optimized with consideration of the roundness. The boring tool used in this study is a tungsten carbide coated. The material of workpiece is Al6061 and the machining method is dry cutting.

In this study, PC-based dicing machine and driving software were constructed for the purpose of automation of wafer cutting process. To automate the machine, hard automation including vision, loading, and software were considered in the development. Auto loading device and vision system were adopted for the increase of productivity, GUI software programmed for the expedient operation. The dicing machine is operated by the control algorithm and some parameters. It is verified that this kind of PC based automation has a great potential compared with the conventional dicing machine when applied to manufacturing some kinds of wafers as a test purpose.

In this machining process, variation in cutting forces results in relative displacements between the tool and the workpiece leading to tool vibration. Also there is a demand to change the depth of cut very frequently. A soluion for both cases is to develop a system which has the ability to reposition a cutting tool to a very small level, i.e., micron. This ppaper presents the development of a micropositioning system (MPS) using a magnetostrictive material. The deveoped MPS is implemented to a lathe and subjected to static and machining test. The results show that the MPS has good potential for machining application

The objective of this study is to develop stencil cutting process and determine optimal conditions which make good-quality stencil by using a Nd:YAG laser. The effects of process parameters such as laser power, type of mask, gas pressure, cutting speed and pulse width on the cut edge quality were investigated. In order to analyze the cut surface characteristics(roughness, kerf width, dross) optical microscopy, SEM photography and roughness test were used. A a results, the optimal conditions of process parameters were determined, and the practical feasibility of the proposed system is also examined by using a commercial gerber file for PCB stencil manufacturing.

A tool holder system has been designed to measure cutting forces in diamond turning. This system includes a 3-component piezo-electric tranducer. In this research, tool holder system is modeled by considering the element dividing, material properties, and boundary conditions using MSC/PATRAN. Mode and frequency analysis of structure is simulated by MSC/NASTRAN, for the purpose of developing the effective design. In addition, tool holder system is verified by vibration test using accelerometer. This system will aid to the development of Fast Tool Servo.

In order to evaluate the stability of chatter vibration in turning precess, the micro-positioning cutting test with artificial tool vibration by piezoelectric actuation were carried out. In experiment, the phase lags between cutting forces and chip thickness variations were measured, and the dimensionless penetration-rate coefficient（$\overline{K^*}$） which is the most important parameter on the stability for chatter vibration was calculated. The results show that$\overline{K^*}$ can be applicable to the stability criterion for regenerative chatter vibration.

This study presents the analysis of ball end milling machinability and its application to the determination of the optimum feedrate in the CNC machining process of sculptured surface. The methods which estimate the cutting force system is approached experimentally. The estimation strategy, named technological processor, was applied to the machining process of sculptured surface for finding optimum variable feedrate. From the result of practical implementation for the test model, it is ascertain that the technological processor have brought the dispersion of force profiles. As compared with conventional imposing of cutting conditions, the machining time has reduced by more than 60%.

It is of great importance to determine the optimum cutter spacing in TBM. In order to determine the optimum cutter spacing, a series of cutting tests by linear cutting machine (LCM) are performed with changing cutter space. This study showed that a numerical method for estimating the optimum cutter spacing could be developed by AUTODYN-3D in order to overcome the limitation of LCM test. By using this method, the optimum cutter spacing of Hwangdeung granite was estimated.

This paper consists of two parts. One is finite element analysis of the redistribution of residual stresses of weld specimen by cutting. This work is necessary to predict the actual residual stress distribution of weld specimens used in fatigue test. The other subject is to calculate the relaxation of residual stress and the strain field induced by cyclic loading. To obtain fatigue life of weldment, the value of strain amplitude at each position is necessary, for example in the strain-life approach, and the numerical results can be used to verify experimental strain measurements. Thermo mechanical finite element analyses were conducted on the commercial package ABAQUS.

This paper considers a problem of optimizing torch paths to cut stock plates nested with open contours. For each contour, one of the two ending points is to be selected as a starting point of cutting with the other being the exit point. A torch path is composed of a single depot and a series of starting and ending points of contours to be cut. The torch path optimization problem is shown to be formulated as an extended version of the standard travelling salesman problem. To solve the problem, a hybrid genetic algorithm with the local search of torch paths is proposed. The genetic algorithm is tested for hypothetical problems whose optimal solutions are known in advance due to the special structure of them. The computational results show that the algorithm generates very near optimal solutions for most cases of the test problems, which verifies the validity of the algorithms.
