Abstract
This paper presents an investigation on machining of copper grating. Ultra-hard polycrystalline diamond (PCD) micro cutting tools were designed and machined, especially focused on fabricating micro channel arrays characterized by excellent quality with high efficiency. Micro cutting experiments of copper grating were carried out using the self-developed PCD micro tools, and the effect of width of cut, feed per tooth, and spindle speed on dimensional accuracy and burr formation was investigated. Additionally, optimum combination of processing parameters was obtained. As a result, a complete copper grating with superior dimensional accuracy and minimum top burrs was machined by employing the self-developed micro cutting tools under the optimal parameters.
