A new tool electrode for surface texturing by electrochemical machining is developed to minimize the size of texture pattern. The processing parts and electrolyte supply are made thin plates, they laminated assembled make a parallel grooves. micro-texture pattern simultaneously replicated on workpiece machining. Experimental results show that reducing width part, pitch can be reduced, although ...

This paper presents the effects of various parameters of fabricated electro chemical micro machining (ECMM) setup on machining response characteristics during micro drilling of Hybrid Al/(Al2O3p+SiCp+Cp)-MMC. AnECMM setup has beendesigned and fabricatedfor the purpose. Fabricated ECMM setup has different units such as mechanical machine unit, electrical power supply and control unit, electrolyt...

This paper is an endeavour to critically appraise the existing methods used for real-time simulation of machine tool dynamics with the emphasis on modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of CNC machine tool feed drives and mechatronic systems for machine tools. The actual approaches for linking the feed drive models with structural models for CNC machine tools are examined. Also the f...

A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VMT system undergoes “pseudo-real machining”, before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to ...

Patterns with controllable adhesion on superhydrophobic areas have various biomedical and chemical applications. Electrolyte jet machining technique (EJM), an electrochemical machining method, was firstly exploited in constructing dimples with various profiles on the superhydrophobic Al alloy surface using different processing parameters. Sliding angles of water droplets on those dimples firstl...

Recent evolutions on forging process induce more complex shape on forging die. These evolutions, combined with High Speed Machining (HSM) process of forging die lead to important increase in time for machining preparation. In this context, an original approach for generating machining process based on machining knowledge is proposed in this paper. The core of this approach is to decompose a CAD...

We present two methods for process planning of 2.5D machined parts. The first method is based on feature recognition from a 3D model. We embedded the shape and the machining method of two generic classes of machining features in a set of OPS5 rules to form a machining feature recognizer. When successfully recognizing a machining feature, machining instructions, in terms of the tool entrance fac...
