Abstract: An orbital drilling approach is proposed in machining hardened steel hole. In this study, the orbital drilling performance was investigated in connection with deburring, form error and surface roughness. First, the hole machinability of various steels was analyzed to compare an orbital drilling with a vertical drilling; then the orbital drilling experiments of hardened steel were carried out to investigate the effects of orbital drilling parameters such as tool speed, orbital feed and screw-pitch on form error and surface roughness. It is shown that the orbital drilling approach is feasible to machine the hole of hardened steel with smooth surface and little burrs using an AlTiN coating WC drill bite. Moreover, the hole form accuracy and surface roughness can be improved with increasing the tool speed and the working space, or decreasing orbital speed and orbital pitch. It is also found that the hole edge burrs can be reduced by choosing a low orbital speed. It is indicated that the form error may be greatly decreased by using a compensation approach through a new CNC tool orbital path.

Abstract: At present, crankshafts are finished mostly by abrasive cloth and manual steel brush, which is not ideal on finishing quality, efficiency, cost and cleanness degree. So a new process, horizontal spindle barrel finishing, is developed. By theoretic research and simulation, main factors for finishing effect and uniformity are analyzed. The research indicates that this process is very effective for crankshafts, and has also positive influence on efficiency and auto product line.

Abstract: This paper proposed an on-machine laser deburring method for narrow slits made by laser cutting. Burrs are generally unwanted materials which remain at the cutting edge after machining operations, such as grinding, drilling, milling or turning. A cost necessary to remove burrs becomes a significant portion of the machining costs. In laser cutting, dross removal was significant problem. It is difficult to prevent completely dross from adhering in laser cutting for stainless sheets. In laser cutting for adornments, it is necessary to remove the dross and to chamfer the cutting edges in order not to injure the hand. It is difficult to remove the dross and to chamfer the edges of a narrow slit by machine work or handwork. We irradiated the defocused laser beam to the slits again for these post-processing. To control the depth and width of the removal area, we examined the relationship between the removal area and the deburring conditions. It was clarified that the width and depth of removal area can be controlled by irradiation time and energy fluence.

Abstract: This research studies the influence　of constant pressure acting on the magnetic particles brush for the precision machining of planar and curved workpieces. In particular, it examined the effects of constant pressure on improving the formal accuracy of the workpiece. This process method, constant pressure is applied to the magnetic pole of a conventional magnetic brush, the constant pressure acted to the surface of the workpiece through the magnetic particle brush formed at the magnetic pole surface. The authors conducted a plane magnetic abrasive finishing experiment using both the conventional magnetic abrasive finishing process and the newly proposed constant-pressure magnetic abrasive finishing process to compare the deburring characteristics between the processes for removing burrs from holes drilled in brass plate workpieces. In this experiment, a brass disk with a drilled hole was used as a workpiece. As a result, the difference in finishing characteristics was clarified. The results showed that the burr can be removed by use of this new plane magnetic abrasive finishing process and it is more useful than the conventional magnetic brush for improving the shape accuracy of the workpiece.

Simultaneously, this process can decrease cost, reduce labour intensity, improve efficiency, and easy to automation. Its application has wide economic and social benefits.

Abstract: At present, crankshafts with larger size are finished mostly by abrasive cloth and manual steel brush, which is not ideal on finishing quality, efficiency and cost, especially cleanness degree does not meet design and use request.

Aimed at the size, shape and weight of crankshafts with larger size, theoretic research is done, and main factors for finishing uniformity are analyzed. Finally its finishing project is defined and experiments are done. The research indicates that this process is very effective for crankshafts with larger size, and has also positive influence on efficiency and auto product line.

Abstract: The sharp burrs produced by plastic deformation during machining of the precision components deteriorates the precision and performance of a machine. Thus, effective removal of the burrs may improve productivity and performance of the machinery. This study was conducted based on the experiment to remove fine burrs produced during machining process using the magnetic abrasive finishing method. The magnetic abrasive finishing using the abrasive feature of an abrasive and the magnetic nature of iron is an abrasive method to brush the burrs with iron powder that has a cohesive power due to the line of induction. The purpose of this study is to remove the burrs at intersecting holes which are difficult to access with tools, using the magnetic abrasive finishing method. Special tool is designed for deburring micro burr at intersecting holes. To find the proper deburring condition, gap distance, rotational speed of inductor, components of powder and effect of coolant are analyzed.
