Abstract
This paper discusses the extension of one-axis vibration machining to multi-axes one to produce texture which is defined as the regular periodic structure on the surface. Applying two-axis vibration, 20kHz in vertical and 240Hz in horizontal, to a cylindrical tool of O.1mm in diameter, sinusoidal micro-grooves were machined on a glass plate. The workpiece material is low-melting-temperature glass, and it is already found that it can be machined in ductile mode and tool profile and motion can be well copied to the workpiece. It was found that the multi-axes vibration produce the texture effectively with fine surface quality.
