Brief Introduction and Objective:
He invented the Electric Rust Preventive Machining Method (the Water Machining System) that uses water (tap water etc.) as machining fluid (coolant, lubricant) during his student hood in 2001. And, new Water Using Machine Tool System has been developed in new frontier. It is environmental and human friendly machining, and contributes to “sustainable development and manufacturing”. By using water, it is expected that waste fluid disposal and environmental load (CO2 etc.), worker’s health hazard are decreased. Moreover, this method can be applied to several machining such as grinding (cylindrical, surface, internal etc.) and cutting and so on. In addition, clean ultra precision machining is enabled. Therefore, he proposed new value such as “Safe and Clean” in manufacturing field. In his recent investigation topics, practical and commercial use development are progressed in manufacturing by industry-academia cooperation. Moreover, expansion of this application machine is estimated in world.
