Abstract
Aiming at quality machining of very hard materials with nanometer level surface quality and 0.1 μm dimensional accuracy, an ultra-precision machining system has been developed. The machine has feed axes accompanied by the counter motion mechanism driven at the center of gravity to eliminate the vibration caused by high acceleration/deceleration. A custom tool fabrication system consists of a 6-axis wire EDM machine and dedicated custom tool CAM system. High quality machining of sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) products made of tungsten carbide has successfully been demonstrated on the developed machine tool with custom-made PCD cutters fabricated by the tool fabrication system.
