| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is generally difficult to machine soft objects precisely because of the deformation caused by not only the cutting force but also the clamping force itself. In order to solve this problem, flexible clamper employing an aqueous solution of sodium acetate is devised to fix a workpiece and to suppress the deformation. The workpiece is placed in a case filled with an aqueous solution of sodium acetate on a machine tool table. The aqueous solution is crystallized by applying a stimulus, and the solid sodium acetate clamps the workpiece. As a result of experimental machining, it is found that the proposed flexible clamper has the potential of realizing "Dexterous Machining" of soft objects.
