Risk Reducing

The article presents safety issues related to on-site machining with the use of portable machine tools. Their advantage is the possibility of machining elements at places in which they are used. This especially refers to large-size constructions, welded elements and any items whose disassembly is technically difficult. The authors present tasks performed by the operators of portable machining equipment, working conditions, construction and characteristic features of portable machine tools on the example of a portable boring machine, milling machine and flange facing machine. The presented characteristics can influence the safety of work with these machines. The information given in the article were used to asses risk at the position of a portable machine tool operator. The assessment was conducted using the Risk Score method taking into account four stages of using portable machine tools, i.e. transport, assembly/disassembly, machining and maintenance. The result of the conducted risk analysis is the proposal of possible risk reducing actions. Due to the specificity of the operation of portable machine tools which significantly impedes the development of a machine tool which would be safe in and of itself, the proposed actions refer mainly to organisational solutions. The work presents also the thesis that it is possible to decrease the risk at this position thanks to the use of numerical control in a portable machine tool. Such a solution may reduce exposure to some identified threats. The issue is presented on the example of a prototype of a portable flange facing machine developed in the Institute of Mechanical Technology ZUT in Szczecin.

Dynamic characteristic of ball screw feed system in a milling machine is studied numerically in this work. In order to avoid the difficulty in determining the stiffness of rolling joints theoretically, a dynamic modeling method for analyzing the feed system is discussed, and a stiffness calculation method of the rolling joints is proposed based on the Hertz contact theory. Taking a 3-axis computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine set ermined as a research object, the stiffness of its fixed joint between the column and the body together with the stiffness parameters of the rolling joints is evaluated according to the Takashi Yoshimura method. Then, a finite element (FE) model is established for the machine tool. The correctness of the FE model and the stiffness calculation method of the rolling joints are validated by theoretical and experimental modal analysis results of the machine tool’s workbench. Under the two modeling methods of joints incorporating the stiffness parameters and rigid connection, a theoretical modal analysis is conducted for the CNC milling machine. The natural frequencies and modal shapes reveal that the joints’ dynamic characteristic has an important influence on the dynamic performance of a whole machine tool, especially for the case with natural frequency and higher modes.

In order to improve the dynamic stability of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools, reduce or avoid the vibration problem during the cutting process, optimize the machine structure and processing parameters, the modal analysis of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tool based on hammer experimental method was researched. In this paper, by analyzing the mechanism of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools, the multi degree-of-freedom mathematical vibration model of precision slitting turn-milling machine tools is constructed. The precision micro turn-milling machine tool is analyzed based on the hammer experiment analysis. The modal analysis obtained the first five natural frequencies and resonance speeds of the precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tool,including ST26, NN-25UB8K2 and NN-20UB87. The research results show that hammer experimental method can evaluate the vibration modal analysis of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools to some extent. The experimental modal analysis results guide and optimize the structural design and processing technology of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools.

SUMMARYA novel rigid-body control design methodology for 6-degree-of-freedom (dof) parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKMs) is proposed. The synchronous control of PKM joints is addressed through a novel formulation of contour and lag errors. Robust performance as a control specification is addressed. A convex combination controller design approach is applied to address the problem of simultaneously satisfying multiple closed-loop specifications. The applied dynamic modeling approach allows the design methodology to be extended to 6-dof spatial PKMs. The methodology is applied to the design of a 6-dof PKM-based meso-milling machine tool and simulations are conducted.

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.
