At state of the art micro-milling tools made of cemented carbide are widely used in industry. Nevertheless, these micro-milling tools suffer from fast and random tool breakage while cutting. To improve the wear behaviour of micro-milling tools new cutting materials have to be established. In this work electrical discharge machining (EDM) for manufacturing of micro-milling tools with cutting edges made of boron doped chemical vapour deposition (bdCVD) diamond were investigated. Wire-EDM and die-sinking-EDM were compared regarding the characteristics of the micro-tool's cutting edges. It could be concluded that the wire-EDM process is suitable for manufacturing of micro-milling tools with cutting edges made of bdCVD diamond. With respect to the elaborated technologies for the wire-EDM process a cutting edge radius rβ = 3.9 μm and for the die-sinking-EDM process a cutting edge radius rβ = 5.4 μm could be measured.

Binderless-cubic-Boron-Nitride(cBN) from the company SUMITOMO CORPORATION, Itami, Japan, provides the opportunity for direct cutting of steel with ultra-precision quality without additional equipment or coating of the workpiece. This work presents the latest results in the field of ultra-precision machining of hardened stainless steel with binderless-cBN. In this paper the influence of the cutting speed vc, the feed f, the depth of cut ap, and the cooling lubricant on the cutting force Fc is shown for turning the stainless steel STAVAX ESU. The cutting speed, the feed and the depth of cut were varied between 3 m/min ≤ vc ≤ 450 m/min, 0.9 μm ≤ f ≤ 9.7 μm, and 5 μm ≤ ap ≤ 30 μm respectively. As cooling lubricants compressed air and W200SL of the company OPORTET, Duisburg, Germany, with a volumetric flow rate = 1 l/min were used. For measuring the cutting forces Fc the piezoelectric dynamometer MINIDYN 9256C2 from the KISTLER INSTRUMENTE AG, Middlefield, USA, was used. As a result of this work cutting forces Fc ≤ 4.9 N could be observed with an inconstant progression over the varied process parameters.

The task of bin picking is to automatically unload objects from a container using a robotic manipulator. A widely used solution is to organize the objects into a predictable pattern, e.g., a workpiece carrier, in order to simplify all integral subtasks like object recognition, motion planning and grasping. In such a case, motion planning can even be solved offline as it is ensured that the objects are always at the same positions. However, there is a growing demand for non-structured bin picking, where the objects can be placed randomly in the bins. This arises from recent trends of transforming classical factories into smart production facilities allowing small lot sizes at the efficiency of mass production. Due to unknown positions of the objects in the non-structured bin picking scenario, trajectories for the manipulator cannot be precomputed, but they have to be computed online. Sampling-based motion planning methods like Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (RRT) can be used to plan the trajectories. In this paper, we propose a modification of RRT for distributed motion planning aiming to reduce the runtime. The planning task is first simplified by computing several guiding waypoints. The waypoints are distributed to a set of planners running in parallel and each planner computes a short trajectory between two given waypoints. Connecting the waypoints is easier than solving the original task, therefore each planner runs fast. In comparison to other parallel motion planning techniques, the proposed approach does not require any communication among the computational nodes, which is more suitable for cloud-based computing. The proposed work has been verified both in simulation and on a prototype of a bin picking system.

Micro-milling tools made of cemented carbide suffer from fast tool wear and random tool breakage during the machining process. The cutting material cemented carbide is composed of a hard material phase made of tungsten carbide and a binder phase made of cobalt. An allotropical crystal lattice transformation of the binder phase at a temperature υ = 420 °C leads to increased tool wear. Commonly minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is used as cooling lubricant technology in micro-milling. In this work a new liquid covered cooling lubricant (LCCL) technology and the commonly used MQL technology were compared regarding tool wear of cemented carbide tools for machining the steel STAVAX ESU. In the LCCL technology the cutting process is completely covered with cutting lubricant. It could be concluded that the new LCCL technology offers a high potential to reduce the tool wear in micro-milling of steel with cemented carbide micro-milling tools.

Micro electrical discharge milling is an alternative to die-sinking EDM for the machining of three-dimensional micro-structures or cavities with free-form surfaces. An important advantage provided by micro-EDM milling for this purpose is the possibility to use simple pin or tube electrodes with diameters de ≤ 500 μm. This reduces the manufacturing costs of the workpiece and decreases the setup time for positioning electrodes. The high density of conventional dielectric fluids and the resulting small working gap cause a severe contamination of the working gap with particles and as a consequence short-circuits and process instability. The use of gaseous dielectrics, like compressed air, leads to enhancements in the flushing conditions and the cooling of the tool and workpiece electrodes. The gas is injected through the tube electrode under high pressure, resulting in high flow velocities and a removal of melted material from the working gap. A new spindle with a maximum rotation speed of n ≤ 400,000 rpm was developed by the institute for Machine Tools and Factory Management IWF of the Technische Universität Berlin for the realization of micro dry-EDM milling with tube electrodes. The high speed rotation of the tool electrode stabilizes the process and increases the material removal rate due to better flushing conditions. This paper presents the equipment and machining results of dry-EDM milling of simple micro-scale features.

Due to rapid, localized heating and cooling, distortions accumulate in additive manufactured laser metal deposition (LMD) components, leading to a loss of dimensional accuracy or even cracking. Numerical welding simulations allow the prediction of these deviations and their optimization before conducting experiments. To assess the viability of the simulation tool for the use in a predictive manner, comprehensive validations with experimental results on the newly-built part need to be conducted. In this contribution, a predictive, mechanical simulation of a thin-walled, curved LMD geometry is shown for a 30-layer sample of 1.4404 stainless steel. The part distortions are determined experimentally via an in-situ digital image correlation measurement using the GOM Aramis system and compared with the simulation results. With this benchmark, the performance of a numerical welding simulation in additive manufacturing is discussed in terms of result accuracy and usability.

The physical vapour deposition (PVD) process is widely used for the coating of cutting tools. The increased hardness and temperature stability permitted a higher cutting speed and longer tool life in comparison to uncoated tools. Within the PVD-process droplets of the target can be deposited on the coated surface. The consequence is an inhomogeneous surface of the cutting tools with an increased surface roughness. In this study, the immersed tumbling process is used for the droplet removal of micro-milling tools. The results show the functionality of the process for the droplet removal depending of the lapping media and process parameters in connection with the amount and size of the droplets.

In summary, the components manufactured additively through SLM proved to have characteristics similar to conventionally manufactured parts in high temperatures. Especially when testing the material properties with temperatures higher than 300 °C. This assumption is not only supported by a quantitative analysis of the material properties, but also by characterizing the microstructure of the SLM samples. Moreover, a database is constituted, which can help to design and plan components built using SLM through extensive simulations. Future works, should study the different possibilities of constructing the tensile test samples. Moreover, studies could focus on other types of super alloys such as Inconel 718, which is often employed in the same context as Ti-6Al-4V.
