A Study on the Ultrasonic Micro-machining and Measurement System

Ultrasonic Machining (USM) is widely used in cutting of non-conductive, brittle workpiece materials such as engineering ceramics. However, USM has a limitation in its application to micro machining because problems are occurred in attaching micro tools to the machine and maintaining high precision. Therefore Micro Ultrasonic Machining (MUSM) with WEDM is proposed in this research. The experiments are produced as the change of shaft diameter and abrasive size.
