This paper addresses the problem of preventive maintenance optimization for NC machine tool. Firstly, the NC machine tool is divided into four subsystems according to the function module. The failure probability density function of each subsystem is estimated with the fault information records. Then, the optimal preventive maintenance period is estimated for each subsystem considering the availability. The optimal periods of all the subsystems are used to derive the preventive maintenance strategy of the whole machine. Finally, a numerical case is presented and the result shows the performance of the proposed approach.Keywords: NC machine tool, subsystem, availability, preventive maintenance

According to 62 field fault data from a certain type of 8 NC machine tools, maintainability distribution model is established based on the repair time. Hypothesis testing shows that the repair times of NC machine tools fit mathematical model of lognormal distribution. This provides the basis for maintainability assessment of NC machine tool as well as the development of maintenance strategy in the future.

In this paper the model of special metal cutting NC machine Tool is presented, which consists of a base module, an overall control module, particular functional modules as well as a relation module. Each module involved in aforementioned model will be composed by software, hardware and mechanical parts, so as to combine the convergence of the ideas of modularization and mechanical-electrical integration into current understanding of special NC machine tool through the proposed model. Specially, the relation module is introduced to deal with the linking among all the other modules. The presented model aims to broaden the perspective of machine designers intending to increase the efficiency in machine design. By giving the so-called function unit model a novel modeling approach is delivered to carry out control research of special metal cutting NC machine, which is followed by the formalization description method presented as a possible abstraction methodology towards the efficient description and identification of special metal cutting NC machine tool.

Customer satisfaction with a purchased product is closely related to the product performance within the warranty region and even the performance during the remainder of its useful life. Every satisfied customer may boost the future sales of the same product with positive evaluations and recommendations to others, and thus will create more profits for the manufacturer. During the useful life of the product, the expected cost to the manufacturer normally depends on the warranty policy, product reliability and specific servicing strategies implemented. In this article, considering the effect of customer satisfaction on the manufacturer’s incurred cost, we investigate a periodic and imperfect preventive maintenance strategy for repairable products sold with a two-dimensional warranty policy. The customer satisfaction is measured with the probability of the customer making a repeat purchase from the same manufacturer. In the proposed model, the number of preventive maintenance actions and corresponding maintenance level are jointly derived with the objective of minimizing the expected total cost per product to the manufacturer. The performance of the proposed preventive maintenance strategy is compared with that of minimal repair corrective maintenance strategy in a numerical example, so as to illustrate its applicability. In addition, some practical implications from a detailed sensitivity analysis are elaborated.

The coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface in high speed NC machine has significant influence on machine tool accuracy and process stability. With the example of HSK-E63, based on nonlinear finite element method (FEM), the coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface under high rotational speed was investigated, the influence of interference, clamping force and rotational speed on the contact stress and the sectional area of clearance were discussed in detail. The results can be used as theoretical consideration to design and optimize the high speed tool-holder/spindle interface.
