In recent years, needs for micro drilling are increasing, accompanying the development of higher wiring density of printed circuit board (PCB). When drilling PCB for the purpose of making the electric through holes, it has been said that the drill breakage is caused by being filled the chips of GFRP and copper of PCB in the drill flutes. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of PCB drilling using DLC coated drill on tool wear, chip evacuation and cutting torque. Series of drilling tests of PCB have been carried out to investigate the amount of drill wear, the chips evacuation behavior out of drilled hole with the drill, the shape of chips produced and the cutting torque using DLC-coated drill and non-coated drill. The chips evacuation behavior out of drilled hole with the drill is filmed by a high-speed motion camera and the shape of chips produced is observed by a microscope. The cutting torque is measured by a dynamometer; Kistler 9329A. The amounts of drill flank wear and margin wear using DLC-coated drill and non-coated drill are almost the same. The chips of GFRP using DLC-coated drill are shorter and smaller than those using non-coated drill. The chips evacuation out of drilled hole with the drill using DLC-coated drill is better than those using non-coated drill, and cutting torque using DLC-coated drill is lower than those using non-coated drill.
In recent years, needs for micro drilling are increasing, accompanying the development of higher wiring density of printed circuit board (PCB). When drilling PCB for the purpose of making the electric through holes, it has been said that surface quality of PCB hole wall is affected by drill temperature. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of depth of hole, tool wear and chip evacuation on temperature on surface of PCB hole wall using cemented carbide drill. Series of drilling tests of PCB have been carried out to investigate the temperature of cutting edge, dill margin and chips, the cutting torque, the amount of drill wear, the chips evacuation behavior out of drilling hole of the drill and the shape of chips produced during drilling hole. The temperature of cutting edge, dill margin and chips are measured with copper-constantan thermocouples. The cutting torque is measured by a dynamometer; Kistler 9329A. The chips evacuation behavior out of drilling hole of the drill is filmed by a high-speed motion camera and the shape of chips is observed by a microscope. The temperature of cutting edge is higher than that of drill margin and chips. The temperature of cutting edge, dill margin and chips are increasing with an increase of the tool wear. Being filled the chips of PCB in the drill flutes causes an increase of friction between chips and hole wall surface, an increase of temperature of chips.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
