Abstract
In this paper it was suggested the machining method that can improve machining accuracy and reduce the machining time applying the formed tools based on the rotor shape feature to finishing machining for efficient machining of asymmetric rotors. For machining the complicated asymmetric rotor profile, machining area is divided and formed tools are manufactured based on the rotor feature., and the efficient machining method of screw motor was proposed using the formed tools and four axis machining devices. With the suggested machining method, machining time could be reduced compared to the general end mill machining method, and the machining errors of the proposed method could be within the allowable tolerance of the product so as to carry out the precise machining.
