The article presents safety issues related to on-site machining with the use of portable machine tools. Their advantage is the possibility of machining elements at places in which they are used. This especially refers to large-size constructions, welded elements and any items whose disassembly is technically difficult. The authors present tasks performed by the operators of portable machining equipment, working conditions, construction and characteristic features of portable machine tools on the example of a portable boring machine, milling machine and flange facing machine. The presented characteristics can influence the safety of work with these machines. The information given in the article were used to asses risk at the position of a portable machine tool operator. The assessment was conducted using the Risk Score method taking into account four stages of using portable machine tools, i.e. transport, assembly/disassembly, machining and maintenance. The result of the conducted risk analysis is the proposal of possible risk reducing actions. Due to the specificity of the operation of portable machine tools which significantly impedes the development of a machine tool which would be safe in and of itself, the proposed actions refer mainly to organisational solutions. The work presents also the thesis that it is possible to decrease the risk at this position thanks to the use of numerical control in a portable machine tool. Such a solution may reduce exposure to some identified threats. The issue is presented on the example of a prototype of a portable flange facing machine developed in the Institute of Mechanical Technology ZUT in Szczecin.

In order to improve the dynamic stability of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools, reduce or avoid the vibration problem during the cutting process, optimize the machine structure and processing parameters, the modal analysis of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tool based on hammer experimental method was researched. In this paper, by analyzing the mechanism of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools, the multi degree-of-freedom mathematical vibration model of precision slitting turn-milling machine tools is constructed. The precision micro turn-milling machine tool is analyzed based on the hammer experiment analysis. The modal analysis obtained the first five natural frequencies and resonance speeds of the precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tool,including ST26, NN-25UB8K2 and NN-20UB87. The research results show that hammer experimental method can evaluate the vibration modal analysis of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools to some extent. The experimental modal analysis results guide and optimize the structural design and processing technology of precision micro slitting turn-milling machine tools.

The aim of this paper overviews about to find out the errors that come from three axis CNC vertical milling machine. The errors come from, the CNC milling machine can be modelled into mathematical models and later on these error models will be used to analyse the errors in the measured data. Many errors from CNC machine tools have given significant effects toward the accuracy and repeatability of manufacturing process. There are two error sources come from CNC machine tools such as tool deflection and thermal distortions of machine tool structure. These errors later on will contribute to result in the geometrical deviations of moving axis in CNC vertical milling machine. Geometrical deviations of moving axis such as linear positioning errors, roll, pitch and yaw can be designated as volumetric errors in three axis machine tool. Geometrical deviations of moving axises happen at every axis in three axis CNC vertical milling machine. Geometrical deviations of moving axises in linear and angular movement has the amount of errors up to twenty one errors. Moreover, this geometrical errors play the major role in the total amount of errors and for that particular reason extra attention towards the geometrical deviation errors will be needed along machining process. Each of geometrical error of three axes vertical machining center is modeled using a homogeneous transformation matrix (HTM). The developed mathematical model is used to calculate geometrical errors at each axis and to predict the resultant error vector at the interface of machine tool and workpiece for error compensation.

There is a requirement for improved three-dimensional surface characterisation and reduced tool wear when modern computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools are operating at high cutting velocities, spindle speeds and feed rates. For large depths of cut and large material removal rates, there is a tendency for machines to chatter caused by self-excited vibration in the machine tools leading to precision errors, poor surface finish quality, tool wear and possible machine damage. This study illustrates a method for improving machine tool performance by understanding and adaptively controlling the machine structural vibration. The first step taken is to measure and interpret machine tool vibration and produce a structural model. As a consequence, appropriate sensors need to be selected and/or designed and then integrated to measure all self-excited vibrations. The vibrations of the machine under investigation need to be clearly understood by analysis of sensor signals and surface finish measurement. The active vibration control system has been implemented on a CNC machine tool and validated under controlled conditions by compensating for machine tool vibrations on time-varying multi-point cutting operations for a vertical milling machine. The design of the adaptive control system using modelling, filtering, active vibration platform and sensor feedback techniques has been demonstrated to be successful.

High-speed machine tools show close interaction between the dynamic behaviour of the mechanical structure, drives, and numerical control. In order to support the designer of high-performance machines, a new analysis based on an integrated holistic mechatronic optimization technique is proposed and compared with the traditional approach. The proposed approach is applied to a three-axis milling machine for dies and mould production.

In order to study the modular design of computer numerical control machine tools oriented to customer demands, the customer demand information model was established based on rough analytic hierarchy process and information entropy by analyzing and transforming customer demands. Based on the domain mapping method of axiomatic design and quality function deployment integration, the product function model and structure model of computer numerical control machine tools are established. Based on fuzzy clustering analysis, the module division of computer numerical control machine tools is studied, and the dynamic clustering diagram of computer numerical control machine tools is formed with MATLAB as the operating environment. Based on Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method, the scheme of computer numerical control machine tools module division is evaluated. Taking the horizontal computer numerical control machine tool products of Shenyang Machine Tool Group as an example, the module division is carried out. The example design and the result analysis prove that the module division system is very effective and fast.

Networks of five-axis machine tools produce huge amounts of process data. These data directly reflect the running condition of the machine tool but are seldom used to examine the machine performance. This study proposes a new data acquisition method based on the Object linking and embedding for Process Control protocol without any additional monitoring equipment. The data collection principle is explained, and a client is developed based on the SIEMENS 840D system. Considering less influence on the manufacturing process, a communication architecture for the machine network is designed with a special computer transmitting the data to the server. A compression algorithm is applied to reduce the storage capacity of massive amounts of data. Finally, a method for predicting the future performance of the machine tool is proposed using similarity analysis of the time series. A Petri net model is also established to diagnose possible failure causes. These methods significantly improve the machine tool reliability and find potentially important information from the data in the manufacturing process.
