Intuition enables experienced machine operators to detect production errors and to identify their specific sources. A prominent example in machining are chatter marks caused by machining vibrations. The operator's assessment, if the process runs stable or not, is not exclusively based on technical parameters such as rotation frequency, tool diameter, or the number of teeth. Because the human ear is a powerful feature extraction and classification device, this study investigates to what degree the hearing sensation influences the operators decision making. A steel machining process with a design of experiments (DOE)-based variation of process parameters was conducted on a milling machine. Microphone and acceleration sensors recorded machining vibrations and machine operators documented their hearing sensation via survey sheet. In order to obtain the optimal dataset for calculating various psychoacoustic characteristics, a principle component analysis was conducted. The subsequent correlation analysis of all sensor data and the operator information suggest that psychoacoustic characteristics such as tonality and loudness are very good indicators of the process quality perceived by the operator. The results support the application of psychoacoustic technology for machine and process monitoring.

Glass is one of the most difficult materials to be machined due to its brittle nature and unique structure such that the fracture is often occurred during machining and the surface finish produced is often poor. CNC milling machine is possible to be used with several parameters making the machining process on the glass special compared to other machining process. However, the application of grinding process on the CNC milling machine would be an ideal solution in generating special products with good surface roughness. This paper studies how to optimize the different machining parameters in glass grinding operation on CNC machine seeking for best surface roughness. These parameters include the spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, lubrication mode, tool type, tool diameter and tool wear. To optimize these machining parameters in which the most significant parameters affecting the surface roughness can be identified, Taguchi optimization method is used with the orthogonal array of L8(26). However, to obtain the most optimum parameters for best surface roughness, the signal to noise (S/N) response analysis and Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods are implemented. Finally, the confirmation test is carried out to investigate the improvement of the optimization. The results showed an improvement of 8.91 % in the measured surface roughness.

Abstract The concept of mapping a three dimensional (3D) contouring cutter path with major motion in a plane parallel to the Z axis onto the X-Y plane or one perpendicular to the Z axis is introduced. A systematic method is developed that can be used to program, in APT or other high-level languages, complex contouring cutter motion based on the concept introduced. As a result, NC programming of contouring motion for many complex engineering parts on a 3-axis numerically controlled (NC) milling machine, which is often considered difficult, can be greatly simplified. Part examples are discussed; and the APT programs defining the cutter path based on the 3D-to-2D mapping concept, are also analyzed in detail. The concept and method introduced proved to be a powerful tool for programming the NC machining process for many parts, particularly dies and molds.

The deformation machining process (DMP) involves machining and incremental forming of thin structures. It can be applied for manufacturing products such as curved-surface blades without using 5-axis computerised numerical control machines. This work presents the effect of tool diameter and forming temperature on spring-back and dimensional accuracy of a simple fabricated part. The results of the first phase of the study are utilised to design the fabrication process of a curved surface blade. A feature-based algorithm is used to design the tool path for the forming process. The dimensional accuracy of the final product is improved through warm forming, two-point incremental forming, and extension of the bending zone to the outside of the product edges. The results show that DMP can be used to fabricate complex curved-surface workpieces with acceptable dimensional accuracy.

Incremental sheet metal forming, is a non-conventional machining process which offers higher formability, flexibility and low cost of production than the traditional conventional forming process. Punch or tool used in this forming process consecutively forces the sheet to deform locally and ultimately gives the target profile. Various machining parameters, such as type of tool, tool path, tool size, feed rate and mechanical properties of sheet metal, like strength co-efficient, strain hardening index and ultimate tensile strength, effects the forming process and the formability of final product. In this research paper, Single Point Incremental Forming was simulated using Dassault system’s Abaqus 6.12-1 and results are obtained. Results of sheet profile and there change in thickness is investigated. For this paper, we simulated the process in abaqus. The tool diameter and rotational speed is find out for the production of parts through incremental forming. The simulation is done for two type of material with different mechanical properties. Various research papers were used to understand the process of incremental forming and its simulation.

The aim of this paper overviews about to find out the errors that come from three axis CNC vertical milling machine. The errors come from, the CNC milling machine can be modelled into mathematical models and later on these error models will be used to analyse the errors in the measured data. Many errors from CNC machine tools have given significant effects toward the accuracy and repeatability of manufacturing process. There are two error sources come from CNC machine tools such as tool deflection and thermal distortions of machine tool structure. These errors later on will contribute to result in the geometrical deviations of moving axis in CNC vertical milling machine. Geometrical deviations of moving axis such as linear positioning errors, roll, pitch and yaw can be designated as volumetric errors in three axis machine tool. Geometrical deviations of moving axises happen at every axis in three axis CNC vertical milling machine. Geometrical deviations of moving axises in linear and angular movement has the amount of errors up to twenty one errors. Moreover, this geometrical errors play the major role in the total amount of errors and for that particular reason extra attention towards the geometrical deviation errors will be needed along machining process. Each of geometrical error of three axes vertical machining center is modeled using a homogeneous transformation matrix (HTM). The developed mathematical model is used to calculate geometrical errors at each axis and to predict the resultant error vector at the interface of machine tool and workpiece for error compensation.

Abstract The use of cutting tool systems with a high slenderness ratio is encountered in the machining of deep cavities in the mechanical engineering industry, especially in the manufacturing of tools and dies. Cutting tool systems with a large slenderness ratio, owing to their dynamic compliance, are prone to vibrations during machining processes. These vibrations affect the quality of the machining process and the life of machine components. Integration of a vibration absorber in the cutting tool system helps in the reduction of machining vibrations. The reduction in vibrations is due to a shift in the resonance frequency of the modified system. This experimental study presents the identification of design possibilities of a vibration absorber for integration in the cutting tool system. The mass and geometry of the vibration absorber are varied and its integration in the milling chuck is explored. Firstly, experimental modal analysis is conducted to determine the effects of the dynamic vibration absorber on the frequency response function of the modified cutting tool system. Secondly, the effects of the dynamic vibration absorber on the machining process for a range of technology parameters are illustrated. During the machining process, the cutting forces are measured using a three-component dynamometer in time domain. Finally, the results are evaluated based on process quality, i.e. surface roughness and analysis of cutting force signal in the frequency domain. This study provides an understanding of the relationship between the mass and the geometry of the vibration absorber integrated in the cutting tool system and their influence on process stability.

In electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, the debris removed from electrode material strongly affects the machining efficiency and accuracy, especially for the deep small hole machining process. In case of Ti alloy, the debris movement and removal process in gap flow between electrodes for small hole EDM process is studied in this paper. Based on the solid-liquid two-phase flow equation, the mathematical model on the gap flow field with flushing and self-adaptive disturbation is developed. In our 3D simulation process, the count of debris increases with number of EDM discharge cycles, and the disturbation generated by the movement of self-adaptive tool in the gap flow is considered. The methods of smoothing and remeshing are also applied in the modeling process to enable a movable tool. Under different depth, flushing velocity, and tool diameter, the distribution of velocity field, pressure field of gap flow, and debris movement are analyzed. The statistical study of debris distribution under different machining conditions is also carried out. Finally, a series of experiments are conducted on a self-made machine to verify the 3D simulation model. The experiment results show the burn mark at hole bottom and the tapered wall, which corresponds well with the simulating conclusion.

Intelligent machining has become an important part of manufacturing systems because of the increased demand for productivity. Tool condition monitoring is an integral part of these systems. Airborne acoustic emission from the machining process is a vital indicator of tool health, however, it is highly affected by background noise. Reducing the background noise helps in developing a low-cost system. In this research work, a feedforward neural network is used as an adaptive filter to reduce the background noise. Acoustic signals from four different machines in the background are acquired and are introduced to a machining signal at different speeds and feed-rates at a constant depth of cut. These four machines are a three-axis milling machine, a four-axis mini-milling machine, a variable speed DC motor, and a grinding machine. The backpropagation neural network shows an accuracy of 75.82% in classifying the background noise. To reconstruct the filtered signal, a novel autoregressive moving average (ARMA)-based algorithm is proposed. An average increase of 71.3% in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is found before and after signal reconstruction. The proposed technique shows promising results for signal reconstruction for the machining process.

Milling process is one of many machining processes for manufacturing component. The length of time in the process of milling machining is influenced by selection and design of machining parameters including cutting speed, feedrate and depth of cut. The purpose of this study to know the influence of cutting speed, feedrate and depth of cut as independent variables versus operation time at CNC milling process as dependent variables. Each independent variable consists of three level of factors; low, medium and high.Time machining process is measured from operation time simulation program, feed cut length and rapid traverse length. The results of statistically from software simulation MasterCam X Milling, then do comparison to CNC Milling machine.  The data from experiments was statistical analyzed by Anova and Regression methods by software minitab 16.Results show that the greater feedrate and depth of cut shorten the operation time of machinery, whereas cutting speed is not significant influence. Depth of cut has the most highly contribution with the value of 49.56%, followed by feedrate 43% and cutting speed 0.92%. Optimal time of machining process total is 71.92 minutes, with machining parameter on the condition cutting speed is 75360 mm/minutes, feedrate is 800 mm/minutes and depth of cut = 1 mm. Results of comparison time machining process in software Mastercam X milling with CNC Milling machine indicates there is difference not significant with the value of 0,35%.
