The aluminum alloy honeycomb structure used in the structural design of high-speed machine tool table to reduce the worktable’s quality, so that the inertial force generated from fast-moving reduced too. The new worktable and the original one both carried out static analysis and modal analysis by ANSYS Workbench respectively. From the result’s comparison, we can know that the new structure worktable’s static and dynamic performance are both better than the original one. The machine tool table’s machining accuracy has been raised.

This paper presents the virtual machine tool environment Mori Seiki established for the evaluation of static, dynamic, and thermal performance of Mori Seiki machine tools. In this system environment, machining accuracy and quality are the main focus for each individual analysis discipline. The structural analysis uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) to monitor and optimize the static rigidity of the machine tool. Correlation between physical experiments and digital simulation is conducted to validate and optimize the static simulation accuracy. To accurately evaluate and effectively optimize dynamic performance of the machine tool in the virtual environment, the critical modal parameters such as damping and stiffness are calibrated based on experimental procedures which results in precise setup of the frequency response models. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis model is built in the environment so that the thermal perspective of the machine tool is evaluated and thermal deformation is monitored. This paper demonstrates compatibility of the digital simulation with physical experiments and success in integrating theoretical simulation processes with practical Mori Seiki machine tool development.

Natural frequencies and modal shapes of machine tools have position-dependent characteristics owing to their dynamic behaviors changing with the positions of moving parts. It is time-consuming and difficult to evaluate the dynamic behaviors of machine tools and their machining accuracy at different positions. In this paper, a Kriging approximation model coupled with finite element method is proposed to substitute the dynamic equations for obtaining the position-dependent natural frequencies of a machine tool, as well as relative positions between the tool and the workpiece during the machining process. Based on the proposed method, dynamic performance optimization design of the machine tool is conducted under the condition of minimum relative positions. Three case studies are illustrated to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed method.

The finite element model of worktable system is created and modal analysis is made with ANSYS Workbench by taking DVG850 high-speed vertical machining center worktable system for example. We make modal analysis of single-screw strength general reinforcement worktable system and get the natural frequency and the vibration mode.Then in order to improve the system's natural frequency, the scheme of dual-screw worktable system is put forward. Also natural frequency and vibration mode is got. Finally, it is proved that the performance of dual-screw worktable system is significantly better than the single-screw one. This provides a reliable reference for further study on dynamic analysis of worktable system.

Drive control of NC machine tools is based on linear interpolation. When curved surfaces are machined using linear interpolation, problems arise with the feedrate not reaching the command feedrate, machining accuracy and surface quality decreasing, etc. In order to solve such problems, a method for generating a toolpath based on the control characteristics of a machine tool is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through simulations and experiments. It is found that the proposed method can reduce the cutting time to approximately 50% of the time required when conventional CAM systems are used. The proposed method also improves surface quality.

CNC lathe spindle box is a key component of the CNC lathe system, and its dynamic characteristics are the main factor affecting the machining accuracy and processing efficiency of machine tools. In this paper, CK61125 CNC lathe spindle box model was established by simplifying its structure. Then modal analysis of the spindle box was done and extended to 6-order modes with the platform of co-simulation environment in ANSYS Workbench, and the natural frequencies and vibration modes for lathe spindle box were obtained. The weak links in the spindle box were found, and the improvement schemes are proposed. Finally the lathe spindle box was improved, the modal analysis of the spindle box was made again, and the results showed that the lathe spindle box dynamic performance was improved. All of these results are beneficial for optimization and re-design of the lathe spindle box so that it has better dynamic performance.

High speed motorized spindle has become a key functional unit of high speed machine tools and effectively promotes the development of machine tool technology. The development of higher speed and more power puts forward the stricter requirement for the performance of motorized spindle, especially the dynamic performance which affects the machining accuracy, reliability, and production efficiency. To overcome the problems of ineffective loading and dynamic performance measurement of motorized spindle, a noncontact electromagnetic loading device is developed. The cutting load can be simulated by using electromagnetic force. A new method of measuring force by force sensors is presented, and the steady and transient loading force could be measured exactly. After the high speed machine spindle is tested, the frequency response curves of the spindle relative to machine table are collected at 0~12000 rpm; then the relationships between stiffness and speeds as well as between damping ratio and speeds are obtained. The result shows that not only the static and dynamic stiffness but also the damping ratio declined with the increase of speed.

Background: As a key component of the rail transit vehicle, the railway bogie greatly affects the dynamic performance, reliability, and safety of the high-speed rail vehicle. In this paper, the structural strength of a typical trailer bogie frame is evaluated and its strength and dynamic requirements are verified. In addition, various patents on bogie structural strength have also been discussed in this paper. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate and verify the rationality of the bogie frame structure design with static strength and dynamic characteristics. Methods: A three-dimensional model of the trailer bogie frame was built by CATIA V5, and then, a finite element model of the frame was analyzed by ANSYS Workbench. Bogie frame loads, static strengths and dynamic characteristics of the frame under different conditions (straight, curve, braking and abnormal) were calculated based on its strength and design standards. Results: According to the requirement stress and dynamics standard, the maximum stress of the bogie frame was observed to be in the allowable stress value of the frame material, and the dynamic performance of the bogie model meets the design standards. Conclusion: The structural strength of the proposed bogie frame is reasonable, and the static strength and dynamic characteristics of the proposed bogie model are in accordance with the design requirements of the railway vehicle.

The emerging miniaturized high-tech products are required to have increased functionalities of systems within a volumetric size on the order of 1 cm3. Hence, the parts are mesoscopic with complex microscopic features of a few mm length with machining accuracy of better than 1 micrometer with secured surface integrity as components will require high surface finish, tensile stress and crack free surfaces in order to function reliably. One of the characteristics to be measured is the cutting forces on the parts being machined. This paper will present the design, manufacture and testing of a miniature dynamometer capable of measuring cutting forces within a low range of 50N but with a resolution better than 1 mN and high frequency since the micromachining involves small cutting forces but the spindle rotates at high speed. The dynamometer is capable of measuring forces in five directions (±x, ±y, and z). The instrument was calibrated and exhibit very good results leading to a true validation. This instrument is assembled on a micro milling desktop machine designed in-house. It will not only support predicting the surface finish and chip thickness but also monitoring tool wear evolution and hence prevents/reduce tool breakage known to be one of the main issues in micro-milling.

During high-speed machining, in order to make cutting tools work reliably and obtain ideal machining quality, not only good static characteristics, but also good dynamic characteristics are necessary. In this paper, with the help of the close combination of experimental research and modal parameter identification technique, the dynamic characteristics of the machine tool/cutting tool system were analyzed. Experimental results indicated that studying the effect of the dynamic characteristics on cutting force, machining accuracy and surface roughness could provide theoretical basis for effectively excluding the resonance zone that obviously destroyed machining quality and then optimizing cutting parameters further.
