Abstract: | To overcome the shortcomings of current technologies for meso-scale manufacturing such as MEMS and ultra precision machining,
this paper focuses on the investigations on the meso milling process with a miniaturized machine tool. First, the related
technologies for the process mechanism studies are investigated based on the analysis of the characteristics of the meso milling
process. An overview of the key issues is presented and research approaches are also proposed. Then, a mesoscale milling machine
tool system is developed. The subsystems and their specifications are described in detail. Finally, some tests are conducted
to evaluate the performance of the system. These tests consist of precision measurement of the positioning subsystem, the
test for machining precision evaluation, and the experiments for machining mechanical parts with complex features. Through
test analysis, the meso milling process with a miniaturized machine tool is proved to be feasible and applicable for meso
manufacturing.
