This paper deals with the micro turning property of setting angle using diamond tool. The bed of the system has used the granite which has the thermal and vibrational characteristics superior to the cast iron bed for the common machine tool. To minimize the inner and outer vibration of the fuming system, an air pad system was manufactured and tested. The aero-static spindle system which has the excellent rotation accuracy was designed and manufactured. As a result of the micro-cutting test on aluminum alloy, tool setting angel have effected on surface roughness. From the results, the micro-cutting conditions hope to provide the useful actual data using in industrial fields.

지금까지의 기계산업의 발달은 대규모의 플랜트 혹은 대형기계 개발 등 대형화를 추구해왔다. 그러나, 최근 에너지와 환경에 대한 인식과 정보 통신, 전자산업, 생명산업의 발달로 소형화와 미세화의 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 그 예로 크기가 micron혹은 sub-millimeter 단위인 초소형기계 (Micro Machine)이 등장하게 되었고, 이러한 부품 및 시스템을 제작하는 미세 가공 기술을 Micro Machining이라고 할 수 있다.(중략)

Micro-machine tool is essential in the micro/meso cutting for the sake of saving of space, resources, and energy. In this research, a micro-turning lathe was fabricated with piezoelectric feed drive mechanism, and motion of each axis was generated by stepwise mechanism with two piezo actuators. The resolution to drive the axis was $0.05{\mu}m$ and position accuracy less than $2{\mu}m$ was assured. From the positioning experiment, piezo feed mechanism is good enough for the micro machine tools. Many fuming experiments were carried out with diamond-cutting tools to evaluate cutting capability of a machine tool. Continuous flow type chip could be obtained even if the cutting speed was very low due to small diameter of workpiece. However, thorough investigation about machineability in micro/meso cutting is inevitable to assure high quality surface roughness in micro machine tool.
