Journal ArticleDOI
Review of vibration-assisted machining

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic kinematic relationships for 1D and 2D VAM (circular/elliptical tool path) are described and the periodic separation between the tool rake face and uncut material, characteristic of VAM, is related to observed reductions in machining forces and chip thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tool force and deflection compensation for small milling tools
TL;DR: In this paper, an open-loop technique was used to estimate the cutting and thrust forces, applying these forces to the tool, calculating the shape error due to tool deflection and creating a new tool path to eliminate this error.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a fast tool servo for diamond turning of nonrotationally symmetric surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory-scale diamond turning machine with piezoelectric-driven fast tool servo is described, and the capability of this apparatus is demonstrated for high-speed features such as sine wave, square wave, and ramp-shaped surfaces.
