Abstract:
Sustainability in production is to develop a system that
reduces usage of resources for converting raw material into
useful product; Moreover, it could produce waste that can be
directly used by another production system. Intentionally
inducing vibration to make machining system sustainable started
from the work of Kumabe. Based on the direction of modulation
with respect to workpiece motion three distinct effective
conditions develop, Vibration Assisted Machining (V AM) by
inducing low amplitude and high frequency vibration in cutting
velocity direction, Modulation Assisted Machining (MAM) by
inducing high amplitude and low frequency vibration in tool feed
direction and Elliptical Vibration Assisted Machining (EV AM)
by inducing low amplitude and high frequency vibration both in
tool feed and cutting velocity direction. For superimposing
vibration to tool motion in V AM, EV AM and MAM systems, the
piezoelectric transducer device based tool holder attachments
have been used. Imposing of oscillation by piezoelectric actuators
in machining reduces the machining forces and burr suppression,
which decreases energy consumption and hence makes system
energy efficient. MAM can produce chips of required shape and
size distribution which can be used by another production system
without any pre-processing. Vibration in machining also helps to
increase the tool life and reduce overall cost of production; it also
helps in improving tool chip contact conditions so as to improve
surface finish. This paper presents a review of these technologies
with the help of a survey of the studies conducted in this
direction.
