Abstract
In OD-Blade slicing technique frequently used for high precision slicing, straightness and the reduction of waviness in a sliced groove surface needs to be improved further. This study aims at establishing the vibration OD-Blade slicing method that can decrease slicing force and examining slicing accuracy on vibration slicing experimentally. Thus, the self corrective effect of an OD-Blade using applied vibration on slicing groove accuracy should be compared with the conventional method without using applied vibration. In this paper, the slicing accuracy represented by waviness and edge chipping on the slicing groove are examined especially when an asymmetric OD-Blade is used. According to the experimental results, it is clear that the vibration slicing method reduces the elastic deformation of the OD-Blade during slicing and decreases the waviness and edge chipping owing to the OD-Blade self corrective effect. In conclusion, the vibration slicing method is capable of highly accurate slicing as compared with the conventional method.
