Abstract: In Part II of this paper, experimental and analytical methods have been developed to estimate the values of the process faults defined in Part I of this paper. The additional faults introduced ...

Abstract: In microend milling, due to the comparable size of the edge radius to chip thickness, chip formation mechanisms are different. Also, the design of microend mills with features of a large ...

Abstract: An acoustic emission-based touch-off detection system has been developed to determine contact between a rotating microtool and a workpiece surface with micron-level accuracy. The system has been ...

Abstract: A piezoelectrically driven, submicron XY-positioning stage with multiprocess capability is developed and then integrated into two micro∕nanoscale manufacturing processes to improve their performance. ...

Abstract: An atomization-based cutting fluid application system is developed for micro-end milling. The system was designed to ensure spreading of the droplets on the workpiece surface based on the analysis ...
