Fundamental Study on Tool Edge Profile Measurement using Laser Induced Fluorescence from Water-soluble Cutting Fluid

This paper describes an atomic force microscope (AFM) based instrument for 3D edge profile measurement of single-point diamond cutting tools. The instrument is composed of an AFM unit and an optical sensor for alignment of the AFM probe tip (silicon cantilever) with the diamond cutting tool edge. In the optical sensor, a laser beam from a laser diode along the Y-axis is focused to generate a small beam spot with a micrometer-order diameter at the beam waist, and then received by a photo-detector (photodiode). The tool edge top and the AFM probe tip are brought to the center of the beam waist in the XZ-plane through monitoring the variation of the photodiode output, respectively. Consequently, the AFM tip can be aligned with the tool edge top. Alignment experiments and 3D edge profile measurements of a round-nose type single-point diamond tool are carried out.

Edge Profile

We propose a novel, on-machine method of measuring the profile of the cutting edge of a tool by using the cutting fluid on the tool surface. Despite an environment of on-machine tool profile measurement, it is difficult to measure a cutting edge profile by using conventional optical methods due to interference from the cutting fluid on the tool surface. To overcome this problem, we propose a profile measurement method that uses confocal fluorescent detection from the cutting fluid on the tool surface. Moreover, for precise measurements, a method that corrects for the thickness of the cutting fluid is provided. Fluorescence from the surface of a silicon wafer coated with a fluorescent dye that is set horizontally as well as vertically to the optical axis of a developed fluorescent confocal microscope is detected. As a basic verification, the cutting edge profile of a milling tool with wear is measured using the proposed measuring and correction methods that employ a fluorescent dye. The results confirm that the proposed method can provide detailed measurements of a tool wear profile.

This paper describes a comparison of the mechanical structures (a double-sided beam and a cantilever beam) of a probe in a tool edge profiler for the measurement of a micro-cutting tool. The tool edge profiler consists of a positioning unit having a pair of one-axis DC servo motor stages and a probe unit having a laser displacement sensor and a probe composed of a stylus and a mechanical beam; on-machine measurement of a tool cutting edge can be conducted with a low contact force through measuring the deformation of the probe by the laser displacement sensor while monitoring the tool position. Meanwhile, the mechanical structure of the probe could affect the performance of measurement of the edge profile of a precision cutting tool. In this paper, the measurement principle of the tool edge profile is firstly introduced; after that, slopes and a top-flat of a cutting tool sample are measured by using a cantilever-type probe and a double-sided beam-type probe, respectively. The measurement performances of the two probes are compared through experiments and theoretical measurement uncertainty analysis.

Abstract Turning operation is one of the most commonly used machining processes. However, turning of high strength materials involves high heat generation which, in turn, results in undesirable characteristics such as increased tool wear, irregular chip formation, minor variations in physical properties etc. In order to overcome these, synthetic coolants are used and supplied in excess quantities (flood type). The handling and disposal of excess coolants are tedious and relatively expensive. In this proposed work, Water Soluble Cutting Oil suspended with nanoparticles (Graphene) is used in comparatively less quantities using Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method to improve the quality of machining. The testing was done on Turning operation of Monel K500 considering the various parameters such as the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut for obtaining a surface roughness of 0.462μm and cutting tool temperature of 55°C for MQL-GO (Graphene oxide) process.
