Machining process parameters directly affect the machining quality and efficiency of heavy-duty CNC machine tools, selecting correctly machining process parameters can improve the machine’s machining performance effectively. This paper presents a machining process parameters optimization method based on grid optimization algorithm for heavy-duty CNC machine tools. In this method, a multi-objective optimization model will be established, which considers not only the linear constrains of machining process parameters, such as machining time and machining cost, but also the non-linear constrain, such as chatter in machining process. Grid optimization algorithm will be adapted to search the optimal combination of machining process parameters from the multi-objective optimization model. In the end, this paper will present an example to verify superiority of the multi-objective optimization method by comparing with single-objective optimization method.

Set Up

With a view of increasing the productivity on CNC machine tools one of the main solution is to reduce, as much as possible, the auxiliary time consumed with the set-up and replacement of the tools and work pieces engaged in the machining process. Reducing the total time of the tool changing process by the automatic tool changer system can be also achieved through minimizing the number of movements needed for the actual exchange of the tool, from the tool magazine to the machine spindle (the optimization of the tool changing sequences). This paper presents a new design method based on the tree-graph theory. We consider an existing automatic tool changing system, mounted on the milling and boring machining centre, and by applying the new method we obtain all the possible configurations to minimize the tool changing sequence of the automatic tool changer system. By making use of the method proposed we obtain the tool changing sequences with minimum necessary movements needed to exchange the tool. Reconfiguring an existing machine tool provided with an automatic tool changer system by making use of the proposed method leads to obtaining the smallest changing time and thus high productivity.

Accuracy And Repeatability

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.

Sliding Guideways

Sliding guideways are often used as the foundation for linear motion in computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools due to their high damping capabilities especially for heavy duty machining applications. However, the traditional manufacturing process with grinding is time-consuming, and the product’s sliding performance has not been optimized nor clearly understood. In order to increase productivity, a machining center based manufacturing method with cubic boron nitride (CBN) milling tools was introduced and tested by researchers. While greatly reducing manufacturing time and cost, a rougher milled surface, in comparison to traditional grinding, is a possible concern for the performance as well as the life of sliding guideways. In this study, a novel planar honing process was proposed as a postprocess of CBN milling to create a finish surface on hardened cast iron sliding guideways used for CNC machine tools. A design of experiment (DOE) was conducted to statistically understand significant factors in the machining process and their relationship with surface topography. Effective planar honing conditions were discovered and analyzed with three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional surface parameters.

In this paper, the authors present some of the theoretical and experimental research conducted on the occasion of rotary tables remanufacturing for CNC machine tools belonging to Boring and Milling Machines family. They give the constructive solutions applied on CNC machines and the specific systems of guiding, locking and driving. The authors present also the modifications required when passing from CC variant to CNC variant in terms of locking - indexing systems and hydraulic suspension systems. The paper presents different achievements but insists particularly on the remanufacture of the rotary table with useful area 1700x2000 mm with longitudinal travel of 1000 mm (MRD 1700x2000/1000).
