Observation of Drilled Hole and Drill Damage When Hole Machining with Micro Drill
In this study, i machined micro hole to PCB(Printed circuit board) with ultra precision spindle system for mechanical micro drilling. For this i utilized 0.4∼0.6 ㎜ micro drill and observed cutting edge and hole. Results are as follows; in case of drilling with 0.4∼0.6 ㎜ micro drill, micro hole was made specific range of diameter up to 300 times drilling and micro drilled diameter was bigger than micro drill’s diameter at 300 times over. Error ratio of drilled diameter and damaged hole diameter was within 5 % and 17 %. I observed 0.4 ㎜and 0.6 ㎜micro drill’s cutting edge after 500 times drilling and confirm cutting edge width variation and damage, same result found 1000 times drilling with 0.5 ㎜ micro drill.
