AbstractRack-and-pinion drives are mainly used for large machine tools and are often operated with indirect position control. Due to the lack of state information on the output side, this results in reduced accuracy regarding the table position. In addition, the system can only react inadequately to disturbances outside the control loop, meaning that often insufficient results can be achieved in typical application scenarios such as milling. To meet the increasing dynamic and accuracy requirements of the modern manufacturing industry, this paper presents a highly dynamic acceleration-based disturbance compensation method. For this purpose, the table acceleration is estimated using a dynamical model of the drive train and compared to the signal from an additional acceleration sensor attached to the machine table. Based on the resulting difference, an additional compensation torque is provided, which suppresses the disturbance in counterphase. The approach is tested experimentally on an open control platform with industrial drive components and the behavior is investigated based on compliance frequency responses and externally applied milling forces. At the same time, a standardized parametrization methodology is developed and the robustness is evaluated by varying table masses. In summary, a considerable improvement of the dynamic disturbance behavior can be achieved compared to the conventional system without compensator.

Zahnstange-Ritzel-Antriebe werden überwiegend bei großen Werkzeugmaschinen eingesetzt und häufig mit indirekter Lageregelung betrieben. Hieraus resultiert eine geringe Positioniergenauigkeit und ein unzureichendes dynamisches Nachgiebigkeitsverhalten. Um den hohen Genauigkeitsanforderungen moderner Werkzeugmaschinen gerecht zu werden, wird in diesem Beitrag eine beschleunigungsbasierte Störgrößenkompensation vorgestellt. Experimentelle Ergebnisse belegen eine Verbesserung des Störverhaltens.   Rack-and-pinion drives are mainly used in large machine tools and controlled by indirect position control. This leads to low positioning accuracy as well as an insufficient dynamic compliance.

Since G-codes have been proved limiting the modern manufacturing industry, ISO14649 was put forward. This paper presents a solution to generate ISO14649 files for circuit board milling. The process planning is given, and all the processes needed are contained in the ISO14649 file. Features and machining operations are identified for each process, such as the closed pocket having a “General_closed_profile” attribute and bosses, round holes, slots, the planar face, contour parallel strategy, contour bidirectional strategy and etc. The scenario of one feature with multi tools are put forward to promote the milling efficiency and an entity “Combined_Machining_workingsteps” is proposed. Besides, some other extensions are made, such as entities for representing circuit geometries in machining features. Algorithms for tool paths generation are demonstrated for contour parallel milling and bidirectional milling, where a new algorithm based on pixels is used. The new algorithm can be used in other functions such as detecting uncut regions.

Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are already widely utilized as measuring tools in the modern manufacturing industry. Rapidly approaching now is the trend for next-generation CMMs. However, the increases in measuring velocity of CMM applications are limited by dynamic errors that occur in CMMs. In this paper, a systematic approach for modeling the dynamic errors of a touch-trigger probe CMM is developed through theoretical analysis and experimental study. An overall analysis of the dynamic errors of CMMs is conducted, with weak components of the CMM identified with a laser interferometer. The probing process, as conducted with a touch-trigger probe, is analyzed. The dynamic errors are measured, modeled, and predicted using neural networks. The results indicate that, using this mode, it is possible to compensate for the dynamic errors of CMMs.

Machinery fault diagnosis is pretty vital in modern manufacturing industry since an early detection can avoid some dangerous situations. Among various diagnosis methods, data-driven approaches are gaining popularity with the widespread development of data analysis techniques. In this research, an effective deep learning method known as stacked autoencoders (SAEs) is proposed to solve gearbox fault diagnosis. The proposed method can directly extract salient features from frequency-domain signals and eliminate the exhausted use of handcrafted features. Furthermore, to reduce the overfitting problem in training process and improve the performance for small training set, dropout technique and ReLU activation function are introduced into SAEs. Two gearbox datasets are employed to conform the effectiveness of the proposed method; the result indicates that the proposed method can not only achieve significant improvement but also is superior to the raw SAEs and some other traditional methods.

Fakhruddin Mangkusasmito, Tsani Hendro Nugroho in this paper explain that One of the important control system in the manufacturing industry is the position control. Mainly in the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine, work-table motion control system is used to regulate work-table movements when the machine process a workpieces on it. On standard machines, work-table movements are two axes (X-Y), which is driven by a motor and lead-screw. The discussion in this research only focus on one axis assuming that the systems on both axes are the same and independent. In this research, MATLAB is used to describe the behaviour of the system and also to design appropriate control system in continuos system using state feedback linear controller such as pole placement , tracking system, full order compensator and reduced order compensator. The goal is to obtain a fast response with a rapid rise time and settling time to a step command, while not exceeding an overshoot of 5%. The specification are than a percent overshoot equal to1%, 0,05s settling time and 0,03s rise time. The performance of each control methods are simulated and analyzed to decide the best suit control method for the systems with such criteria. And the result verify that using tracking system controller method achieve such specification with 0% overshoot, 0,04s settling time and 0,028s rise time.

The modern manufacturing industry requires the cutting process to reduce the quantity of pollutants, to ensure the product quality, to make good use of the resource and energy, and to satisfy the need of productivity and economy at the same time. The cutter reasonable selection is one important method of improving cutting capability. Therefore, it can solve efficiently the new problem in machining process to think of synthetic effect with quality, economy, resource and environment at the same time. Furthermore, because the process in metal cutting is variable and the influence of most factors can not be confirmed, the fuzzy assessment based on fuzzy integrate can select more justified cutter in cutting process.

CNC machining centers, as the key device in modern manufacturing industry, are complicated electrohydraulic products. The reliability is the most important index of CNC machining centers. However, simple life distributions hardly reflect the true law of complex system reliability with many kinds of failure mechanisms. Due to Weibull model’s versatility and relative simplicity and artificial neural networks’ (ANNs) high capability of approximating, they are widely used in reliability engineering and elsewhere. Considering the advantages of these two models, this paper defined a novel model: Weibull neural network (WNN). WNN inherits the hierarchical structure from ANNs which include three layers, namely, input layer, hidden layer, and output layer. Based on more than 3000 h field test data of CNC machining centers, WNN has been successfully applied in comprehensive operation data analysis. The results show that WNN has good approximation ability and generalization performance in reliability assessment of CNC machining centers.
