In the operation process, the Wire Electrical Discharge Machine (WEDM) has certain imperfections such as vibration and the descent of machine precision which vibration produces. This paper studies the dynamic parameter of the machine tool and optimizes the natural frequency and vibration. Taking the DK7725 taper machine tool as an example, the paper establishes a 3Dmodel with Pro-Engineer 5.0.According to the Masataks Yoshimura method, the authors could ascertain the stiffness and damping of joint surfaces among machine main parts and ascertain the equivalent dynamic model. In order to have a modal analysis about the machine tool structure, the virtual dynamic analysis module of ANSYS Workbench Environment (AWE) is used. Through the study of dynamic parameter, the authors optimize and improve the natural frequency and vibration of machine tools, compared with the finite element analysis results and the no-optimization data. And the final results show that the change rates of each order natural frequencies optimized ranges from 0% to18.9%, and the whole mechine’s optimization achieves satisfied effect.

Manufacturing industries now a days have stringent expectation from the machine tools in terms of productivity as well as quality of products.Vibration plays an important role in determining the quality of product.If the pattern of vibration prevailing in the machine tool during cutting is known,then machine tool structure can be designed in such a way so that natural frequency of machine tool structure can be isolated from the forced frequency.So, this study is focused on finding the natural frequency and mode shapes of radial drilling machine structure.Finite element analysis has been done to find out the natural frequencies and mode shapes of radial drilling machine structure.Assembled mass and stiffness matrices are obtained for each element and solved by using inverse iteration technique.

Dynamic analysis and parameter identification of a single mass elastomeric isolation system represented by a Maxwell-Voigt model is examined. Influences that the stiffness and damping values of the Maxwell element have on natural frequency, damping ratio, and frequency response are uncovered and three unique categories of Maxwell-type elements are defined. It is also shown that Voigt and Maxwell-Voigt models with equivalent natural frequencies and damping ratios can have considerably different frequency response spectra. Lastly, a parameter identification method is developed for identifying Maxwell-Voigt models from frequency response spectra. The method is based on constant natural frequency and damping ratio curves generated from modal analysis of potential Maxwell-Voigt models.

A novel touch-trigger probe system is proposed in this paper. The probe houses the stylus shaft on a special diaphragm spring that is exclusively designed with the utilization of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In the probe system, Giant Magneto-Resistive (GMR) sensors are employed to measure the motion of the stylus shaft in the principal directions. The proposed (and implemented) probe is tested on a three-axis CNC electrical discharge machine (EDM) and the results acquired from those experiments are discussed. The preliminary work presented in this paper demonstrates the capabilities of GMR based probing technology in dimensional metrology.

An analytical-experimental investigation of machine tool spindle decay and its effects of the system’s stability lobe diagram (SLD) is presented. A dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM)model for the vibration analysis of the OKADA VM500 machine spindle is developed and is validated against Finite Element Analysis (FEA).The model is then refined to incorporate flexibility of the system’s bearings, originally modeled as simply supported boundary conditions, where the bearings are modeled as linear spring elements.The system fundamental frequency obtained from the modal analysis carried on an experimental setup is then used to calibrate the DSM model by tuning the springs’ constants. The resulting natural frequency is also used to determine the 2D stability lobes diagram (SLD) for said spindle. Exploiting the presented approach and calibrated DSM model it is shown that a hypothetical 10% change in the natural frequency would result in a significant shift in the SLD of the spindle system, which should be taken into consideration to ensure chatter-free machining over the spindle’s life cycle.

Dynamic analysis is very important in developing machine structure to sustain the required accuracy, reliability and productivity. The objective of this study is to conduct a dynamic and modal analyses of micro-milling machine. The machine designs were predicted by comparing the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS software and experimental hammer testing. Two micro-milling machine designs have been proposed. Natural frequency and mode shape was analyzed in modal analysis which show the result that first mode recorded frequency of 92.086 Hz for design A and 154.78 Hz for design B. Natural frequency of design B was higher than design A. From the comparision, it can be concluded that Design B was selected as a best design.

Abstract This study attempts to develop a machine tool to let its cutting function and precision be able to compare with the counterpart of the wire-cut electrical discharge machine, and also can cut non-conducting materials. This machine tool is numerically controlled by a PC-based controller to cut some projected shapes defined on a single axis, dual axes or multiple axes. This machine is to use one diamond wire loop with motion in direction of Z-axis or a certain direction, to attain the function of cutting. The wire could be kept as straight as possible at the cutting zone and not to shift laterally from the feeding direction. Besides, a tension sensor based on CCD cameras is also installed to know the cutting force and reactions of the workpiece against the diamond wire so as to adjust the wire travelling speed and feedrate of the workpiece to cut the corner precisely.

The dynamic characteristics of machine tool directly affect machining accuracy of the final parts. Taking the self-developed HRG ultra-precision polishing CNC machine tool as the research object, the simplified finite element model is established with the finite element analysis software to do the dynamic analysis and the natural frequency is detected as the index of the dynamic performances. Based on the comparative analysis of the natural frequency and vibration modes, the gantry and the supporting frame are recognized as structural weaknesses of the machine tool, and then the modal test is done to verify simulation results. Eventually the structural weaknesses are optimized effectively. The 1st order nature frequency of the optimized gantry and the optimized supporting frame is increased 75.5% and 80.8% respectively so that they have better dynamic performances, resulting in offering higher workpiece quality and process stability.
