A CNC machine tool is process control equipment integrating machine, electricity, and liquid, which makes its fault diagnosis complex and special due to its own advanced, complex, and intelligent characteristics. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on the engineering experience of technical personnel, which incorporates human subjective factors, and can only perform qualitative analysis, resulting in low diagnostic efficiency. And through a single sensor to detect and diagnose the machine tool, the accuracy and credibility of the decision are low, and the system is also weak against interference. In this paper, we first summarize the composition and working principle of CNC machine tools and analyze the working condition signals generated by CNC machine tools and the sensors that collect the signals and decide to use a multisensor multisignal fusion-based approach to monitor the machine tool status. It is possible to obtain more effective and valuable information from the observed information through multiple sensors so that the goal of fusion can be achieved. In this paper, a multisensor fusion technique based on wavelet transform and neural network fusion is applied to a machine tool condition monitoring system. The theoretical basis of wavelet analysis and neural network is introduced, and the composition of the condition monitoring system and the process of applying multisensor fusion technology based on wavelet analysis and neural network in the condition monitoring system are given. A complete software and hardware system for online monitoring of CNC machine tools is established. In order to improve the accuracy of the mathematical model, the use of a neural network to fit the nonlinear data and the use of coarse set theory to simplify the relevant data can effectively solve the accurate establishment of the mathematical model in the error compensation method. The thermal error compensation method for CNC machine tools is proposed based on rough set theory, ant colony algorithm, and neural network. This paper first investigates the current development of error compensation technology for CNC machining centers, analyzes the various error sources of CNC machine tools, and finds out the influencing factors affecting the errors of CNC machine tools.

Intelligent manufacturing as the development direction of the new generation manufacturing system has become a hot research topic. Computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools are the core manufacturing equipment in discrete manufacturing enterprises, collecting and monitoring the data is an important part of intelligent manufacturing workshops. It has a great significance to improve the production efficiency of enterprises and eliminate information islands. The purpose of this article is to solve the problems of data acquisition and monitoring of CNC machine tools in the manufacturing workshop of enterprises. This article uses FOCAS data acquisition method to research and develop the data acquisition and monitoring system of CNC machine tools in intelligent manufacturing workshop. The research results show that the equipment information model based on MTConnect protocol and FOCAS can solve the data acquisition and storage functions of CNC machine tools well. Using the object-oriented Petri net model, it can solve various uncertain factors in numerical control (NC) machining tasks and realize the monitoring function of CNC machining tasks in the workshop. Based on the NC program analysis, the calculation method of machining time in the NC program can determine the preventive maintenance cycle of the machine based on the machine fault information. Based on VS2013 development environment, Qt application framework and SQL Server 2012 database, the numerical control machine tool data acquisition and monitoring prototype system was developed, and the system was verified in the workshop to prove the effectiveness of the system.

Error compensation technology offers a significant means for improving the geometric accuracy of CNC machine tools (MTs) as well as extending their service life. Measurement and identification are important prerequisites for error compensation. In this study, a measurement system, mainly composed of a self-developed micro-angle sensor and an L-shape standard piece, is proposed. Meanwhile, a stepwise identification method, based on an integrated error model, is established. In one measurement, four degrees-of-freedom errors, including two-dimensional displacement and two-dimensional angle of a linear guideway, can be obtained. Furthermore, in accordance with the stepwise identification method, the L-shape standard piece is placed in three different planes, so that the measurement and identification of all 21 geometric errors can be implemented. An experiment is carried out on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to verify the system. The residual error of the angle error, translation error and squareness error are 1.5″, 2 μm and 3.37″, respectively, and these are compared to the values detected by a Renishaw laser interferometer.

The introduction of CNC machines has radically changed the manufacturing industry. Curves are as easy to cut as straight lines, complex 3-D structures are relatively easy to produce, and the number of machining steps that required human action has dramatically reduced. With the increased automation of manufacturing processes with CNC machining, considerable improvements in consistency and quality can be achieved. CNC automation reduced the frequency of errors and provided CNC operators with time to perform additional tasks. CNC automation also allows for more flexibility in the way parts are held in the manufacturing process and the time required to change the machine to produce different components. In a production environment, a series of CNC machines may be combined into one station, commonly called a “cell”, to progressively machine a part requiring several operations. CNC controller is the “brain” of a CNC machine, whereas the physical configuration of the machine tool is the “skeleton”. A thorough understanding of the physical configuration of a machine tool is always a priority for a CNC programmer as well as the CNC machine tool manufacturers. This chapter starts with a historical perspective of CNC machine tools. Two typical types of CNC machine tools (i.e. vertical and horizontal machining centres) are first discussed. Tooling systems for a CNC machine tool are integral part of a CNC system and are therefore elaborated. Also discussed are the four principal elements of a CNC machine tool. They are machine base, machine spindle, spindle drive, and slide drive. What letter should be assigned to a linear or rotary axis and what if a machine tool has two sets of linear axes? These questions are answered later in the chapter. In order for readers to better comprehend the axis and motion designations, a number of machine tool schematics are given.

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.
