For precise micro V-grooving, ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) is proposed using two parallel piezoelectric actuators, which are energized by sinusoidal voltages with a phase difference of 90 degrees. Experimental setup is composed of stacked PZT actuators, a single crystal diamond cutting tool, and a precision motorized xyz stage. It is found that the chip formed in the process of UEVC is discontinuous because of the periodic contacts and non-contacts occurring between the tool and workpiece. It is experimentally observed that the cutting force in the process of UEVC significantly reduces compared to the ordinary non-vibration cutting. In addition, the creation of burr during UEVC is significantly suppressed, which is attributable to the decrease in the specific cutting energy.

Three dimensional dynamic cutting can be postulated as an equivalent orthogonal dynamic cutting through the plane containing both the cutting vector and the chip flow velocity vector in cutting process. An analytical expression of dynamic cutting force is obtained from the cutting parameters determined by the static three dimensional cutting experiments. Particular attention is paid to the energy supplied to the vibration of the tool behind the vertical vibration and the direction. The phase lag of the horizontal vibration of the tool behind the vertical vibration and the direction angel of the fluctuating cutting force must be regarded in point of stability limits. Chatter vibration can effectively be suppressed by enlarging the dynamic rigidity of the cutting system in the vertical cutting force direction. A good agreement is found between the stability limits predicted by theory and the critical width of cut determined by experiments.

This paper deal with a technique for monitoring machining conditions by measuring the vibration of cutting forces at milling machining. The vibrations of cutting forces in milling process were measured and analyzed to be related with processing parameters. The magnitude of cutting force is linearly proportional to the feed rate and cutting depth, and frequency of cutting force is linearly proportional to the rotating speed. Wired and wireless communication methods were applied in transmitting the measured vibration signals and the two methods were compared. The magnitude of the vibration signals transmitted by the wireless communication method was similar to that transmitted by the wired communication method.

The elimination of chatter vibration is necessary to improve the precision and the productivity of the cutting operation. A new mathematical model of chatter vibration is presented in order to predict the dynamic cutting force from the static cutting data. The dynamic cutting force is analytically expressed by the static cutting coefficient and the dynamic cutting coefficient which can be determined from the cutting mechanics. The stability analysis is carried out by a two degree of freedom system. The chatter experiments are conducted by exciting the cutting tool with an impact hammer during an orthogonal cutting. A good agreement is shown between the stability limits predicted by theory and the critical width of cut determined by experiments.

In order to predict vibrations occurred during end-milling processes, the cutting dynamics was modelled by using neural network and combined with structural dynamics by considering dynamic cutting state. Specific cutting force constants of the cutting dynamics model were obtained by averaging cutting forces. Tool diameter, cutting speed, fled, axial and radial depth of cut were considered as machining factors in neural network model of cutting dynamics. Cutting farces by test and by neural network simulation were compared and the vibration displacement during end-milling was simulated.

In milling, cutting tool ins directly attached to spindle and this tells that spindle can provide very useful information on the cutting tool condition such as wear or breakage. Since spindle is rotating at a high speed, measuring spindle velocity using a noncontacting measurement system gives the best information which can be obtained. Due to the force applied to spindle through cutting tool, velocity of spindle changes. And any change in cutting tool condition affects cutting force and consequently spindle vibration. With the intent of continuously monitoring cutting tool condition in intermittent machining operations in a benign manner, a noncontacting velocity measurement system using a laser Doppler velocimeter was assembled to measure spindle torsional vibration. Spindle vibration was measured and analysis of it in the frequency domain yielded a measure which corresponded to amount of cutting tool wear in milling.

The ultimate target of machining process is to get both precision and productivity simultaneously. To obtain these effects, many kinds of machining methods have been considered and various research effort has been made for a long time. Ultrasonic vibration cutting method is one of these methods. When the ultrasonic vibration is applied on the workpiece or the tool, the cutting tool makes periodical contact with workpiece due to vibration. The cutting is performed by vibrating impact force while the cutting tool contacts the workpiece, and it makes the displacement of both the tool and workpiece minimum in three force component (principal, axial, radial force) direction during the cutting process. So the cutting precision is better than conventional cutting method. The main results that obtained by the expriments of ultrasonic vibration cutting are as follows; 1. The value of roundness is about 1.4 ~ 2.5 [${\mu}m$] and this value is three or four times less than that of conventional cutting. 2. The value of surface roughness is about 1.2~2.2 [${\mu}m$] and this value is the two or three times less than that of conventional cutting.

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.

Various types of elliptical motions are generated by PZT mechanism which is composed of two parallel piezoelectric actuators. Elliptical vibration cutting(EVC) is obtained by attaching single crystal diamond cutting tool to the mechanism, and V-grooving for Brass and Aluminum is carried out by applying the EVC. It is experimentally observed that the cutting force in the process of the EVC reduces compared to the ordinary non-vibration cutting, which is due to the decrease of undeformed chip thickness and frictional force between the tool and chip. Ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting(UEVC) suppresses burr formation and decreases cutting force still more, so UEVC makes it possible to enhance the shape accuracy of machined surface.

In the present research, a ultra-precision diamond cutting of thermo-plastic materials, polycarbonate (PC) and cyclic olefin polymer (COC), is carried out by applying a method named ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting developed by the authors. It is experimentally proved that good optical surfaces are obtained by applying the elliptical vibration cutting in cases of machining of flat surfaces and grooves as compared with the conventional diamond cutting. The maximum surface roughness in peak to valley value obtained is less than 60 nm and 20 nm for PC and ZEONEX, respectively.
