In this note work is presented that is used to obtain a numerical model of slideways. A numerical method is used for dynamic phenomenon processing with contact and friction problems. Then, an experimental study was carried out on a real slideway. This allows not only the law of friction to be obtained but also the behaviour of such a mechanism to be described in terms of various influences. These data are highly useful when validating models which include this kind of behaviour. Moreover, as this work is quoted in the context of high-speed machining, an opportunity is provided to increase the dynamic performance of these slideways by revealing their weak points. The machine-tool has a feature that takes into account the experimental law of friction which evolves according to the pressure of contact and the speed of sliding. For the real system considered, the results show good correlation between the numerical and experimental data.

High-speed machining gives much potential for increasing the efficiency of the milling operation, but it requires very careful preparation for the milling process to use this potential. A machining simulator has been developed that can analyse dynamic errors due to tool deflections and machine dynamic behaviour using a three-dimensional solid simulation model. This kind of simulator would be a useful tool to apply in high-speed machining where it is necessary to obtain very well prepared part programs considering dynamic errors as well as geometrical errors. In this short communication, an algorithm will be introduced to estimate the dynamic errors caused by machine dynamic behaviour. Specifically, this algorithm predicts real feed rates and tracking errors considering the limits of numerical controllers and machine tools. The efficiency of the algorithm has been verified through several experiments with various tool paths. In addition, the algorithm has been integrated into the machining simulator. Some results obtained from the machining simulator concerning the estimation of tracking errors will be reported.

Tramcar vehicles significantly differ from traditional railway vehicles both for the adopted structural configuration and design solutions and for the operating conditions. For this reason, a new numerical model specific for the analysis of tramcar dynamics has been developed by Politecnico di Milano. Before the numerical model can be adopted as a useful mean to analyse tramcar operational problems, the capability of the model to reproduce the actual tramcar dynamic behaviour has to be verified. The paper deals with the validation of the developed numerical model by means of comparison with experimental data.

Parts with rapidly varied geometric features are usually crucial parts in high-end equipment and widely applied in the fields of aerospace, energy and power, which are difficult or inefficient to process because of the more special structure and the higher requirement of machining precision. High-speed machining technology provides an effective method for parts with rapidly varied geometric features to solve the contradiction between high demand and low machining efficiency. However, as the existence of rapidly varied geometric features, the machining toolpath for such parts is always complex free-form curve and the actual moving speed of the workbench of the NC machine tool cannot reach the feed-speed set in the NC program timely due to the drive constraint of NC machine tool. Furthermore, the machine tool would vibrate violently when machining the rapidly varied geometric features. In this way, the big machining error will be formed. A machining error reduction method by combining of feed-speed optimization and toolpath modification in high-speed machining for such parts is proposed. First, considering that the actual feed-speed cannot reach the programmed value when the toolpath curvature is too large, the feed-speed is optimized with the constraints of jerk and acceleration limitations of the feed shafts, and a feed-rate smoothing algorithm is applied. Then, the compensated cutter locations are calculated via machining-error estimation. Finally, the modified NC codes are acquired according to the optimized feed-speed and the compensated toolpath. By combining the feed-speed optimization and toolpath modification, the high precision and high efficiency machining can be realized. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. This study provides an effective approach to reduce the machining error in high-speed machining, and is significant for improving the processing precision and efficiency of parts with rapidly varied geometric features.

In order to meet high-speed machining center’s overall performance requirements, there are four different worktable structures established in SolidWorks, and they are carried out static analysis in ANSYS Workbench to calculate their static stiffness, so that find out the best structure. In meeting the worktable stiffness, the best structure is optimized in ANSYS Workbench, then the worktable’s quality reduces 8.43% in the original foundation and the cost also decreases, which is a basis for worktable’s dynamic performance analysis.
