Development of High Quality Finishing System for PET Bottle Molds

:—Skillful Control for Ball End Abrasive Tools Using Hyper-CL Data—

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an automatic mirror finishing system for PET Bottle molds. The finishing system runs based on hyper cutter location data (CL data). The CL data have new statements about regulations of a profiling velocity [mm/s], contact force [kgf], tool rotation [rad/s] and so on. The CL data allow us to skillfully control the finishing system as skilled workers perform. The effectiveness is demonstrated and discussed.
