Structural Configuration and Performances of Machining Environment-Controlled Ultraprecision Diamond Turning Machine ‘Capsule’

Experimental study of micro- and nano-scale cutting of aluminum 7075-T6

“…Experimental investigations of micro-and nano-scale machining can be further classified as follows: (i) The construction and evaluation of miniature machine tools for creating microand nano-scale structures [3][4][5][6][7][8]; miniature machine tools are believed to be more accurate as they are less affected by environmental fluctuations [7] and have a higher volumetric utilization [8] when compared to conventional scale machine tools; (ii) The use of conventional ultra-precision machines and cutting tools for micro-and nano-scale cutting [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Various aspects of micro-and nano-scale cutting such as cutting force, size-effect phenomenon, chip geometry and surface morphology have been studied in the past.…”

Materials in machine tool structures

“…In Ref. [250] an ultra-precision diamond turning machine with a honeycomb-like bonded and sandwiched steel bed was introduced, which provided a low mass and a high dynamic rigidity (1st eigenmode above 1.2 kHz) with directional orientation.…”

“…Furukawa summarized the benefits and drawbacks of using aluminum ceramics in machine structures [90]. Shinno et al applied alumina ceramics (Al 2 O 3 ) for a number of high precision machine components [250][251][252][253][254][255][256]302]. Low thermal deformation and a lightweight but stiff construction could be achieved.…”

Design of ultraprecision machine tools with applications to manufacture of miniature and micro components

“…vibrations from the floor, fluctuation of the room temperature, heat transfer from other machines, floating dust and so on [7].…”
