AbstractThe development of software applications and the use of VR (Virtual Reality) techniques allow to improve the company’s financial result. The construction of models of robotic stations with robots using Virtual Robot technology allows to determine the time of the machining process. It allows its optimization through the selection of accelerations, tools, tooling strategies, and so on. Determining the time of a technological operation translates into savings. This allows you to decide on the purposefulness of the investment. In addition, modern software add-ons, for example, Signal Analyzer in RobotStudio, allow you to monitor the electricity consumption of a robotic station. The article presents a solution showing how, based on the construction of digital models and the use of VR, we can conclude about the profitability of the investment.

Turn-milling is a hybrid machining process which used benefits of interrupted cutting for proceeding of round bars. However, number of controllable parameters in the hybrid process is numerous that makes optimizing the process complicated. In the present study, an optimization work has been proposed to investigate the trade-off between production rate and cutting force in roughing regime as well surface roughness and tensile residual stress in finishing regime. Number of 43 experiments based on response surface methodology was designed and carried out to gather required data for development of quadratic empirical models. Then, the adequacy and importance of process factors were analyzed using analysis of variances. Finally, desirability function was used to optimize the process in rough and finish machining regimes. The obtained results showed that selection of eccentricity and cutter speed at their maximum working range can effectively enhance the quality characteristics in both the roughing and finishing regimes.

High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) has been known to secure high removal rates in grinding processes at high wheel speed, relatively large depth of cut and moderately high work speed. High removal rates in HEDG are associated with very efficient grinding and secure very low specific energy comparable to conventional cutting processes. Though there exist HEDG-enabled machine tools, the wide spread of HEDG has been very limited due to the requirement for the machine tool and process design to ensure workpiece surface integrity. HEDG is an aggressive machining process that requires an adequate selection of grinding parameters in order to be successful within a given machine tool and workpiece configuration. This paper presents progress made in the development of a specialised HEDG machine. Results of HEDG processes obtained from the designed machine tool are presented to illustrate achievable high specific removal rates. Specific grinding energies are shown alongside with measured contact arc temperatures. An enhanced single-pole thermocouple technique was used to measure the actual contact temperatures in deep cutting. The performance of conventional wheels is depicted together with the performance of a CBN wheel obtained from actual industrial tests.

The innovative use of QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) and panoramic image–creation utilities for recording field observations and measurements during routine bridge inspections is reported. A virtual reality approach provides the ability to document a bridge’s physical condition by using different media types at a significantly higher level of detail than is possible in a written bridge inspection report. Digitally recorded data can be stored on compact disc for easy access before, during, or after an inspection. The development of a QTVR bridge record consists of four major steps: selection of the camera stations, acquisition of the digital images, creation of cylindrical or cubic panoramas, and rendering of the QTVR file. Specific details related to these steps are provided, as applied to various bridge inspection projects. The potential impact of QTVR on bridge management—in which routine inspection data are a factor in making decisions regarding the future maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement of a bridge—is discussed.

Process selection as a part of CAPP has captured significant attention in CAPP research. Procedures have been developed for backward and forward algorithms in process selection. Most of these procedures lack the complete integration of process selection into CAPP system. In this paper, we present the results of the development and prototype implementation for process selection module for hole making operations for integration with Math Based Manufacturing System already in use in industrial partner. We have developed architecture and implemented module for rule-based machining process selection of hole making operations. The architecture enables the interface from the Process Selection prototype to Math Based Manufacturing System (APPS). The prototype also includes the user interface for interaction with the process selection procedure. Actions for starting prototype from APPS, performing process selection steps and sending the result back to APPS have been developed and implemented.

A machining virtual reality system is established by studying the operating procedure of machining. The modeling and optimization method of scene model is put forward. Two different roaming ways, that is the automatic roaming path and the free roaming path, are designed. The process of machine and the operation of virtual worker are simulated based on the technique of modular programming and collision detection in Virtools, enhancing the sense of immersion and reality of the virtual machining process. The system provides a new method for machining experimental instruction.

Glass, being considered as hard and brittle material is very difficult to machine into desired shapes. The readily available conventional machining process does not provide good surface finish thus requires additional machining process. This paper reviews the different existing non conventional machining process accessible till today for the machining of glass materials. This paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the existing non conventional machining processes. The various hybrid non conventional machining processes are also studied with focus on machining output characteristics like MRR, surface finish, tool wear rate. This paper summarizes the selection of hybrid non conventional machining processes for the various type of glass.
