MCTCtool
Look at me Measurement of the temperature distribution at the tool-chip interface

This page shows the measurement of the temperature distribution at the tool-chip interface with minute thermocouples fabricated on the tool face. In addition to the introduction of the previous works I done, the latest work, which seven pairs of micro Cu/Ni thermocouples are set on the rake face near the cutting edge, is introduced.

Sandwich tool
Look at me A novel Ultrasonic Machining for Micro Grooving by means of a "Sandwich Tool"

A sandwich tool that hard materials and soft materials are laminated has been proposed for fabricating micro grooves by ultrasonic machining. By employing this method, we can fabricate an intelligent tool with built-in micro sensors.

Ultra high-speed cutting tester
Look at me Development of Ultra High-Speed Cutting Tester

High-speed and ultra high-speed cutting tester have been developed to investigate cutting phenomena. The testers are airgun type; cutting tool or workpiece is accelerated by compressed air. Cutting speed 150 m/s can be achieved in atomosphere condition so far. The tester have been improved to achieve much faster cutting speed.

Look at me FEM Simulations of Steady State Cutting Processes

These results are obtained from Thermo-Elastic-Plastic Finite Element Method with Iterative Convergent Method. From these results, we can know easily the cutting performances such as cutting forces, chip shape, the distributions of temperature and stresses on the rake face, and also we can easily evaluate the quality of the machined products. The influences of these cutting performance upon the cutting conditions, material conditions and tool rake face geometry are predicted.

These results are obtained from Thermo-Elastic-Plastic Finite Element Method. From these results, we can know easily whether chip breaks or not, in short, chip breakability. In order to design high performance metal cutting tool, we have to investigate the chip breakability. But it may be impossible in actually to make a lot of types of tool tips and to test them. Numerical simulation such this FEM is very usufull.
