An automatic tool-setting and workpiece online detecting system was proposed to study the key technologies of next-generation intelligent vision computerized numerical control (CNC) machines. A computer vision automatic tool-setting system for a CNC machine was set up on the basis of the vision tool-setting principle. A rapid vision calibration method based on the position feedback from the CNC machine was proposed on the basis of the theory of traditional vision system calibration. The coordinate mapping relationship of the image and the CNC machine, the tool-setting mark point on the workpiece, and the tool tip were calibrated. The vision system performance testing and system calibration experiments were performed. Experimental results indicated that the time consumption was 128 ms in image processing. The precision of tool setting and measuring was less than 1 μm. The workpiece positioning and processing online detection function of the system can completely meet the requirements of visual CNC machine application, and the system has wide application prospects.

This paper addresses an automatic parameter-tuning algorithm for the multi-axis motion control of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine centre. The traditional approach to tune the control parameters in the multi-axis machines is to tune each axis independently. Some high-end-precision machines offer cross-axis motion parameters for impedance compensation but this is usually not satisfactory for practical purpose. Because each axis on the machine centre contributes to more than one working plane, obtaining the optimal performance for motions involving more than one plane often results in axis coupling. This paper introduces a systematic method to tune the servo parameters for multi-axis motion control. The tuning algorithm is based upon an intelligent genetic algorithm (GA) and the parameters are tuned for each work plane. The method optimized the multi-axis motion performance. A modified GA is also proposed to solve the convergence problem induced by a large number of parameters in multi-axis motion tuning.

The automatic tool changer (ATC) in computerized numerical control (CNC) milling machine often uses pneumatic dynamic sources. Friction in the pneumatic cylinder affects the ATC’s stopping position; this friction depends on many factors, including the air environment’s relative humidity and temperature. This paper presents the results of research on the effects of relative humidity (RH) and air temperature (T) on the stopping position of an ATC using a pneumatic cylinder. Studies were conducted at temperatures of [Formula: see text]C, [Formula: see text]C and [Formula: see text]C and relative humidity values of 51%, 75% and 99% for different speeds of the pneumatic cylinder (30, 50 and 100 mm/s). The results show that when the humidity increases from 51% to 99% and the temperature increases from [Formula: see text]C to [Formula: see text]C, the friction force decreases. The friction force is related to the relative humidity and temperature of the air. Thus, the deviation of the ATC’s stopping position depends on the relative humidity and temperature of the area under investigation.

With the continuous development of CNC technology, CNC machine tools run at the higher speed. Cutting force will be greater, which is bound to exacerbate the wear and tear of the machine tool guides. Therefore, new requirements of numerical control machine tool guide surface hardness are proposed. Using Laser surface heat treatment process to scan the guide surface of CNC Machine Tool, the guide can get high hardness hardened layer. After being casted iron HT300 was heat treated by the laser, the microstructure is homogeneous, very fine martensite. Its Surface hardness can get to HV832. The treatment enhances the surface abrasion resistance, scratch-resistant capacity.
