Moulding Machine

This paper presents a report on the development of a linear motor drive injection moulding machine for the attainment of ultrahigh-speed injection moulding. Until now it has been impossible to produce such a high speed with all-electric injection moulding machines, although the need for such ultrahigh-speed, electrically driven injection moulding machines has clearly existed. However, direct drive by linear motors may cause brief nozzle separation from the sprue bushing because of an inertia force as large as the total output thrust of the linear motors, and this momentary separation can cause molten plastic leakage. In this paper, two solutions are proposed for this inertia force problem. One is mechanical cancellation of the inertia force, the other is an increase in the nozzle contact force. Furthermore, a new nozzle contact mechanism is proposed that prevents the stationary platen bending caused by the nozzle contact force. Some experimental results on a manufactured all-electric, ultrahigh-speed injection moulding machine are presented.

As high speed, high acceleration and stable drive on machine tools is constantly growing in demand, the use of linear motors in machine tools has increased. On the other hand, in order to achieve a high degree of quality, the need for mirror-like finish surfaces on industrial products has also considerably increased. This research explores the use of linear motors to develop a high-speed fine polishing process that achieves a mirror-like finish surface on small parts. The first stage of this process consisted in developing a polishing device, which was composed of a NC milling machine, a linear motor drive and a polishing head. Specifically, a polishing head attached to a linear motor drive was coupled with the spindle of a NC milling machine. A substitute for a small linear motor drive was obtained from a commercially available shaver, while the polishing head was made of propylene. The polishing head elaboration process, linear motor drive properties, lapping agent and the optimum polishing conditions were investigated in several experiments. The evaluation consisted in the high-speed polishing of minute areas on flat surfaces using the selected optimum conditions. It is concluded that, (1) the proposed system was able to achieve a mirror-like finish surface, (2) when compared to polishing with an ultrasonic motor, the machining time of the proposed system was reduced by half, (3) the proposed system was able to achieve a mirror-like finish on a 3 mm square sided area.

Motion Design

A strategy of motion synthesis is developed for reducing critical forces in relatively rigid high-speed spring-loaded cam mechanisms. A special motion is specifically presented to illustrate application of the developed strategy, for the dwell-rise-dwell displacement case. Critical force graphs are presented for a numerical industrial probelm in three examples, comparing the developed special motion with the commonly used cycloidal and modified trapezoidal motions. Maximum values of cam contact force, inertia force, and spring force are all appreciably reduced by the special motion.

The application of linear motor-driven stages as the feed drivers of CNC micro milling machine tools is growing. In addition to employ high speed and high precision equipment such as linear motor-driven stages, the precision of the machined contours is highly dependent on the capabilities of the servo controllers. In this paper, the design of a precise controller for a two-axis LMDS has been investigated for micro-milling applications. In such feed drives, disturbances such as friction, force ripples, and machining forces have adverse effects on the workpiece positioning precision due to the direct drive concept behind them. Therefore, in order to have an acceptable transient response and disturbance rejection properties, a two-degree-of-freedom proportional–integral–derivative controller was employed for each axis. To design this controller, the zero-placement method was used. To compensate disturbances and machining contour errors, the utilization of Kalman filter observers, neural networks, cross-coupled controllers, and different integration of them were studied. The controllers were experimentally examined for circular motions. An integrated controller consisted of a Kalman filter disturbance observer, a cross-coupled controller, and a well-designed two-degree-of-freedom proportional–integral–derivative controller resulted in a high contouring and tracking precision. The controller could also reduce the spikes caused by the friction at the motion reversal points such as the quadrants in circle trajectories.

Linear Drive System

Carrying and positioning systems for linear movement in factory automation are typically a combination of a motor and motion-translating mechanisms, such as ball screws, belts, and racks and pinions. Such mechanical motion-translating mechanisms, however, have the disadvantages of limited accuracy, speed, and durability. As a solution to this problem, direct-drive linear motors, which drive an object directly mounted on the drive section, have attracted considerable interest, and various types of linear motors have been actually used. The recent trend in linear motor development has been such that the functions of the motor alone have been expanded into higher functions of the linear drive system. The ""Megathrust Motor"" is a direct drive linear actuator system developed by Nippon Seiko K.K. It has some components, such as a detector and drive unit, which are different from those of other drive systems, and therefore provide high performance and added value. Nippon Seiko K.K. has also developed and marketed a direct drive ""Megatorque Motor."" This motor has achieved high speed and highly accurate rotational drive of industrial robots and general industrial machines, and has been widely used as a rotary actuator in factory automation. The Megathrust Motor is a linear drive system developed as an application of the technology of the Megatorque Motor. This paper describes the features, performance, and applications of the Megathrust Motor.
