Feed System

The computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool was investigated and the dynamics model for the servo feed system was established. Based on the fixing constraint of the ball screw, the mathematical models of axial stiffness and torsion stiffness are constructed. According to the effects of stiffness on the dynamic performance, the simulation model for CNC machine tool feed system with stiffness considered was set up by the dynamic simulation tool Simulink, and a curve representing the performance of the system was obtained. To reduce the effect of stiffness on the system, the feedforward control strategy is used for stiffness compensation. The simulation results show that the stability and response performances of the system are improved and the steady-state error of the system is reduced by the control strategy.

The products of 3C, bioscience, medical industry, and aerospace industry are becoming smaller and smaller. The components of the products are made of various materials with complex 3D shapes requiring high accuracy in their dimensions and contours. An accurate micro-/mesoscale computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool is an essential part of this technology. A new type of CNC micromachine tool with a togglelike mechanism having the characteristics of low-cost and fine-resolution was developed. With geometric reduction principle, the machine can provide finer feed resolution and better positioning accuracy without using high-end driving components and controller. The kinematics model and characteristics of the machine were derived and analyzed. Modal analysis and dynamic compliance analysis were employed to design a light-weight structure with good stiffness. The accuracy calibration results showed the machine can reach a positioning accuracy of 500 nm. Prototype of the machine was built, and furthermore, some micromachining examples were demonstrated in this paper.

Cutting parameters and material properties have important effects on the quality of milled surface, which can be characterized by fractal dimension and surface roughness. The relationships between two surface parameters (surface roughness and fractal dimension) and material hardness, elongation, spindle speed and feed rate were investigated, respectively, in this study. Four carbon steels, that is, AISI 1020, Gr 50, 1045 and 1566, were milled with five spindle speeds and four feed rates on a computer numerical control machine. The surface topographies were measured with a three-dimensional profiler. The surface profiles were obtained by re-sampling the data points on the surface topography in the measurement direction. The surface roughness and fractal dimension were calculated from the two-dimensional profiles, where the fractal dimension was obtained by the root-mean-square method. The results showed that for specific spindle speed and feed rate, the roughness of the milled surface decreased with the workpiece hardness, whereas the elongation and fractal dimension increased with the hardness. Based on the material hardness and elongation, spindle speed and feed rate, empirical formulae were established to quantitatively estimate the surface roughness and fractal dimension. Moreover, the spindle speed and feed rate can be easily calculated from the empirical formulae to achieve a surface with the desired surface roughness and fractal dimension. The empirical formulae have been demonstrated with the experiments and were shown to be applicable in estimating the surface roughness and fractal dimension for all carbon steels in end milling. The results are instructive for the fractal dimension estimation of the machined surfaces of carbon steel, which has not been previously studied.

Thermally Treated

The effects of different machining parameters on surface roughness values of thermally treated pine, beech, and linden woods cut in a computer numerical control (CNC) router machine were examined. Wood specimens were thermally treated at 170, 190, and 210 °C for 2 h. Then, specimens were cut in the radial and tangential directions with three different spindle speeds (12000, 15000, and 18000 rpm) and three different feed rates (3000, 4000, and 6000 mm/min) using two different end mill tools (spiral and straight) on the CNC machine. The end mill type significantly affected the roughness values of the untreated and thermally treated specimens in both directions. Lower roughness values were found in the specimens (especially pine) machined with the straight end mill compared to those machined with the spiral end mill. Roughness generally decreased in the thermally treated specimens. However, thermal treatment temperature did not have a notable effect on roughness. As the spindle speed increased, the roughness values of all specimens decreased. In contrast, as the feed rate increased, the roughness values increased. Therefore, the end mill type, feed rate, and spindle speed were the most influential parameters on the roughness.

State Error

Based on the elastic mechanics theory, the mathematical models of axial stiffness and torsion stiffness are constructed in accordance with single end thrust and two ends thrust. The effects of stiffness on dead band error are analyzed. With the analysis of displacement deviation induced by axial stiffness and angular displacement deflection caused by torsion stiffness, a formula to calculate the dead band error is presented. A model for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool feed system with stiffness is established. By applying computer simulation, dynamic performances, static performances and steady-state error of the system are analyzed. To reduce the effect of stiffness on the system, the feedforward control method is used to compensate stiffness. The simulation analysis shows the result that dynamic and static performances are improved, as well as steady-state error of the system is reduced by more than 58% with this approach.
