A multiprocess machine tool for compound micromachining

“…Typical microcutting processes include micro-turning, micro-milling, micro-drilling, and micro-grinding [19]. Various geometries and high surface quality can be achieved with the application of different micro-cutting processes to produce micro-components; these advantages are shown in Table 1 [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The machining principle of micro-cutting is similar to that of conventional macro-cutting, but new challenges, such as predictability, producibility, and productivity, must be resolved [30].…”

Device miniaturization is an emerging advanced technology in the 21st century. The miniaturization of devices in different fields requires production of micro-and nano-scale components. The features of these components range from the sub-micron to a few hundred microns with high tolerance to many engineering materials. These fields mainly include optics, electronics, medicine, bio-technology, communications, and avionics. This paper reviewed the recent advances in micro-and nano-machining technologies, including micro-cutting, micro-electrical-discharge machining, laser micro-machining, and focused ion beam machining. The four machining technologies were also compared in terms of machining efficiency, workpiece materials being machined, minimum feature size, maximum aspect ratio, and surface finish.

“…Results show the surface roughness could reach 0.85 μm Rmax in the micro-drilling of high nickel alloys [2]. Design and manufacturing of a compound micro-machining center has been done by Rahman et al It has the capability to fabric microelectrodes with 11-μm diameter as well as micro-drilling by a multi-process machine tool [5]. Another well-known work was development of a 5 DOF controlled maglev local actuator for high-speed micro-EDM drilling.…”

In this experimental investigation, a centrifugal servo-mechanism has been used for actuation of the cylindrical components such as nozzles and dies during micro-EDM drilling process. With simultaneous centrifugal actuation of the workpiece proportional to the electrode rotation, it is possible to apply concentric roughing and eccentric finishing strategies. For improvement of micro-hole quality, eccentric workpiece rotation has been developed as a finishing strategy which promotes flushing condition, removes hole inclination, produces core-free blind holes, and reduces machining time in micro-EDM drilling process.
