Feed Drive System

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the performance and positioning accuracy of computer numerical controlled (CNC) feed drive system using a ball screw-based pre-loading impact factor. Design/methodology/approach Initially, axial displacement of support bearings has been computed in relation to the different preload values. Among the computed values, a basic rule equation has been developed for the calculation of elongation in the bearings. The value of displacements computed from the developed equation has been considered as a pre-loading value, and its behavior on the feed drive system has been analyzed. Findings The elongation of bearings impacts the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the feed drive system and of CNC machines. Next, an analytical model for the rigorous assessment of CNC feed drive system has been designed and developed. The positioning accuracy of CNC machine in relation with different pre-loading values has been analyzed. Practical implications The results obtained from these investigations enhance the positioning accuracy of CNC machining centers. The optimum pre-loading value has been analyzed among the available ranges, and it has been proposed that optimal results have been achieved at 5 per cent of dynamic load rating. Originality/value This paper proposes improved explorations toward the performance of the CNC machines by optimizing the positioning accuracy through pre-loading. Finally, analytical estimations have been carried out to prove the validity of the proposal.

For semi-closed-loop computer numerical control machine tool, the pitch error of screw caused by thermal expansion can deteriorate the positioning accuracy of ball screw feed drive system. This study presents different prediction models for positioning error of ball screw feed drive system based on the mounting condition, where the total error is separated into geometric error and thermal error. The coefficients in the model are identified using the multiple linear regression method. The prediction model is validated and the error compensation is also done for the X axis of a three-axis computer numerical control milling machine. The test results show that the model developed can well predict the thermal error under any given temperature as well as position during the temperature rising process of ball screw, and it can greatly improve the system positioning accuracy through compensation.

Precision Tracking Control

In this paper, the active-disturbance-rejection control (ADRC) is applied to realize the high-precision tracking control of CNC machine tool feed drives. First, according to the number of the feedback channel, the feed systems are divided into two types: signal-feedback system, e.g., linear motor and rotary table, and double-feedback system, e.g., ball screw feed drive with a load/table position feedback. Then, the appropriate controller is designed to ensure the closed-loop control performance of each type of system based on the idea of ADRC. In these control frameworks, the extended state observers (ESO) estimate and compensate for unmodeled dynamics, parameter perturbations, variable cutting load, and other uncertainties. For the signal-feedback system, the modified ADRC with an acceleration feedforward term is used directly to regulate the load/table position response. However, for the double-feedback system, the ADRC is applied only to the motor position control, and a simple PI controller is used to achieve the accurate position control of the load. In addition, based on ADRC feedback linearization, a novel equivalent-error-model based feedforward controller is designed to further improve the command following performance of the double-feedback system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controllers of both systems have better tracking performance and robustness against the external disturbance compared with the conventional P-PI controller.

Abstract Positioning accuracy within the range of nanometers is required for high precision machining applications. The implementation of such a range is difficult through the slides because of (a) irregular nature of friction at the slider-guideway interface, and (b) complex motion characteristic at very low speeds. The complexity arises due to the local deformation at the interface prior to breakaway, which is known as microdynamics. In this work prior experimental results exhibiting microdynamics have been appraised, and mathematical model developed to understand this behavior.

This paper presents the works carried out by the authors in the field of structural and functional optimization of industrial robot's numerically controlled (NC) axes. The study includes the results obtained in the research stage of the experimental measurements performed to evaluate the electrical servomotor's thermal behavior using a thermal (infrared) imaging camera. The analyzed servomotor is a brushless servomotor integrated in an experimental stand for linear motion NC axis experimental research, existing in the MMS department from EMTS faculty. Supplementary to the driving servomotor, the experimental stand includes a belt drive transmission, a ball screw - bearings assembly and a driven element guided by ball rail system. This experimental research phase is part of the doctoral thesis of first author and was conducted in order to validate the mathematical models developed in the PhD thesis. Thus, experimental results presented in the paper have been used to validate first mathematical models for electric motor's preliminary selection and checking, (performed by determining the total reflected inertia of the mechanical system on motor shaft level) as well as the mathematical models for final selection and checking (by evaluating the servomotor's thermal energy dissipation, and servomotor's internal and external maximum operating temperature). Second, the experimental results have been used to validate the assisted simulation for structural and functional optimization of industrial robot's NC axes based on both servomotor and drive's thermal behavior analysis, performed in the thesis by means of a dedicated commercial software package.
