This paper will provide a method to decompose forging dies for machining planning in the case of high speed machining finishing operations. This method lies on a machining feature approach model presented in the following paper. The two main decomposition phases, called Basic Machining Features Extraction and Process Planning Generation, are presented. These two decomposition phases integrates ...

Advanced ceramic materials are gradually becoming very important for their superior properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and high strength to weight ratio. But machining of advanced ceramic like Al2O3-ceramics is very difficult by any well known and common machining processes. Normally, cleavages and triangular fractures generate when machining of these materi...

Unconventional machining processes (communally named advanced or modern machining processes) are widely used by manufacturing industries. These advanced machining processes allow producing complex profiles and high quality-products. However, several process parameters should be optimized to achieve this end. In this paper, the optimization of process parameters of two conventional and four adva...

Electric discharge machining is non conventional machining process used for machining of hard materials which cannot machined by conventional machining process. Electric discharge machining is an electro sparking method of metal working involving an electric erosion effect. A pulse discharge occurs in a small gap between the work piece and the electrode and removes the unwanted material from th...

The selection of optimum process parameters is crucial for advanced machining processes, as these processes incur high initial investment, tooling cost, and operating and maintenance costs. In this paper, a review of machining process parameters for different materials is done in ultrasonic machining (USM). Machining of Different materials like ceramics, Glass Porcelain, Titanium, is done by di...

The high cost of ceramic components can be associated with complex and time-consuming postmachining, which is currently done by using abrasive machining processes. The IWF and Fraunhofer-IPK are undertaking research activities in the field of abrasive machining which aim at developing and optimizing technologies to expand the application field and to increase productivity of high-performance ma...

The growing interest in the use of parallel manipulators in machining applications requires clear determination of the workspace and dexterity. In this paper, the workspace optimization of a Tricept parallel manipulator under joint constraints is performed. This parallel manipulator has complex degrees of freedom and, therefore, leads to dimensionally inhomogeneous Jacobian matrices. Here, we d...

This paper addresses an interval analysis based study that is applied to the design and the comparison of three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DoF) parallel kinematic machines. Two design criteria are used: (i) a regular workspace shape and (ii) a kinetostatic performance index that needs to be as homogeneous as possible throughout the workspace. The interval analysis based method takes these two criter...

the price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. in this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (ribm). in our method, ...
