Abstract:

SUMMARYThe introduction of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Cell Technology, and Automated Machining Techniques with the related reduction in manning levels has resulted in the development of tooling systems, tool management systems, and, independent tool magazines to service TURNING MACHINES where a high number of tools are required to cover one shift or unmanned operation.Actual cutting time (production time) represents a value between 5% and 20% of average machine utilisation time, and developments in cutting materials and geometries have largely exhausted rationalisation possibilities in this area.

Abstract:

Solid modellers are now well established for computer aided design of mechanical parts. Machining applications, however, remain limited to geometric tool path planning. The physical aspects of the process are largely ignored. Success in actual machining, however, depends on consideration of cutting forces, torques, part and tool deflection, chatter, tool breakage and wear. This paper reports research progress towards a comprehensive simulation of the physical machining process of thin flexible parts. The system is based on extensions to a commercially available solid modeller. Cutting tool location data (CL-DATA) files along with an initial solid model of the workpiece are inputs. Each tool motion is segmented into short steps along the path and angular increments of spindle rotation. At each simulation step, immersion of the cutting tool teeth with the part is calculated. This information is then used by a machining process model to calculate cutting forces and tool/workpiece deflection. Up to five-axis motion is supported using a sweep representation of the tool swept volume. Flexible tools are modelled as cantilevers; flexible parts are created as solid models, are meshed and are dynamically solved using finite element analysis. The mesh is updated as material is machined away from the part.

Abstract:

This study is to develop a tool system, which is formed by a series of procedures, modifications, and assemblies, and to learn how processing characteristics are affected and what various processing parameters are. According to the cutting tool compressibility and clamping devices of rigidity and flexibility, three distinct combinations are as follows, that is (1) rigid clamping devices with hard cutting tools, (2) flexibile clamping devices with hard cutting tools, and (3) rigid clamping devices with soft cutting tools. The first are generally cutting processes, while the second are polishing processes and the third produce milling wipe or grinding and polishing compound processes. The cutting part is quite different and may cause different accuracy and removing rate. The mixture processes, such as turn-burnishing, milling-burnishing and grind-polishing, are existed. If certain flexible clamping devices with hard cutting tools are formed, the most suited to this process will be practical benefits. Considering the flexible cutting tools of clamping devices are less systematically designed, this study would mainly focus on the establishment of a systematic design, and actual cutting to explore its applications. In order to take into account the characteristics of flexibility and reduction of the retardation when connected, meanwhile, to meet not only the fixture complexity and availability (being easy) to manufacturing, but also to fit the strength and processing requirements, the systematic design is to create a tool system. After some cutting experiments have been conducted, the results proved that different degrees of flexibility on the workpiece surface would lead to different degrees of accuracy.

Abstract:

In this study the authors start by highlighting the lack of a “tool orchestration” framework in e-collaboration environments (either for work or learning purposes). To address this issue, they propose the MAPIS3 software architecture to efficiently manage the key problem in tool orchestration, which is the efficient data transfer among various tools used in e-collaboration activities. To evaluate their proposal, they present a case study of a flexible e-collaboration scenario that cannot be implemented automatically with any known architectures or tools. This scenario entails transfer and processing of students' collaboration data emerging originally in a chat tool to an IMS-LD compatible application (“player”) and, finally, to a Moodle installment forum. The overall implementation was evaluated both from the developer's and the student's perspective. Results indicate that seamless data flow establishing tool orchestration can be achieved by the proposed approach in a cost-efficient and flexible manner. Moreover, the authors highlight and discuss how data flow and flexible management supported by the architecture may have a profound impact on the quality of users' collaboration.

Abstract:

Flexible targeted helping is considered an advanced form of prosocial behavior in hominoids, as it requires the actor to assess different situations that a conspecific may be in, and to subsequently flexibly satisfy different needs of that partner depending on the nature of those situations. So far, apart from humans such behaviour has only been experimentally shown in chimpanzees and in Eurasian jays. Recent studies highlight the prosocial tendencies of several bird species, yet flexible targeted helping remained untested, largely due to methodological issues as such tasks are generally designed around tool-use, and very few bird species are capable of tool-use. Here, we tested Goffin’s cockatoos, which proved to be skilled tool innovators in captivity, in a tool transfer task in which an actor had access to four different objects/tools and a partner to one of two different apparatuses that each required one of these tools to retrieve a reward. As expected from this species, we recorded playful object transfers across all conditions. Yet, importantly and similar to apes, three out of eight birds transferred the correct tool more often in the test condition than in a condition that also featured an apparatus but no partner. Furthermore, one of these birds transferred that correct tool first more often before transferring any other object in the test condition than in the no-partner condition, while the other two cockatoos were marginally non-significantly more likely to do so. Additionally, there was no difference in the likelihood of the correct tool being transferred first for either of the two apparatuses, suggesting that these birds flexibly adjusted what to transfer based on their partner´s need. Future studies should focus on explanations for the intra-specific variation of this behaviour, and should test other parrots and other large-brained birds to see how this can be generalized across the class and to investigate the evolutionary history of this trait.

Abstract:

Results of the works on the numerical modeling of the extrusion process using elastic tool are presented. In industrial practice, rubber and elastomer spacers are most commonly used, which significantly reduces the tool preparation costs as compared to traditional steel dies. The paper presents results of numerical simulations along with the process of rubber tool deformation in a specially prepared model device. The use of the software for numerical modeling in conjunction with laboratory experiments allows the initial development of a material model for further analysis of shaping processes using elastic tools.

Abstract:

The main aim of the study was to develop forming tools for wide (over 1.2 meter) sandwich panels. Longitudinal laminating technology was selected for tool manufacturing due to its flexibility and cost efficiency. Laminating technology enables easy modification of the tool dimensions afterwards. The function to optimize or vary the dimensions of the tool was set as a secondary objective for the study. Forming tools for sandwich panels are usually complicated structures and joining of the plates can be difficult in some cases. Typically sandwich forming tools are capable to produce only narrow panels (less than 1 meter) and optimization must be done during designing of the tool. In this study, a rapid designing and manufacturing of a flexible sandwich panel forming tool was investigated. Sandwich panels are usually applied in light structures or voice covers due to their very low weight, high stiffness, durability and production cost savings. Designing of the forming tool was made by using a 3D CAD program. Conventional steel plates were used for the forming tool and the assembly was done by fixing the plate parts longitudinally together (laminating). Most important criterion for the forming tool was its capability to produce high quality geometry for the core. Laser welding assembly showed that the quality of the core was good enough for welding the lap joints properly. Both of the objectives were fulfilled: 1) forming tools were suitable for forming of wide cores (1.2 meter) and 2) the structure of the laminated tool enables to change or add new plate parts to change the dimensions of the final product.

Abstract:

This investigation is concerned with the thermoelastic analysis of flexible multibody machine-tool mechanisms using the finite-element method. Thermoelastic response of the machine tool is obtained by discretizing the machine tool into a number of simple elements and calculating the thermal stress and strain of each element under the average temperature rise. The generalized thermoelastic forces associated with the generalized elastic coordinates are then determined using the virtual work. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of the machine-tool mechanism due to the application of a constant cutting force as well as a chattering (dynamic) force, with and without thermal effects, is analyzed. The chattering force is obtained by considering the cutting force variations due to the variation of undeformed chip thickness and the rate of penetration of the tool, as a result of tool deformation. In this investigation, the machine-tool mechanism is considered as a multibody system consisting of interconnected rigid and flexible bodies that undergo large angular rotations. Bending and axial deformation of the elastic bodies in the system are considered. Component mode synthesis techniques are employed in order to reduce the number of elastic coordinates and the system differential equations of motion and nonlinear algebraic constraint equations are written in terms of a coupled set of reference and modal elastic coordinates. The formulation is exemplified using a crank-shaper mechanism wherein the flexibility of the tool as well as the flexibility of the mechanism links are considered.

Abstract:

To investigate how preschoolers acquire a tool use strategy and how they adapt their tool use to a changed situation, 2- to 4-year-olds were asked to retrieve chips from a transparent box with a rod, either by stabbing and lifting through a top opening or by pushing through a front and a back opening. In both conditions, about 40% of the children acquired effective tool use by individual learning, and 90% of the other children learned this by observing only one demonstration. When confronted with a changed situation (i.e., previous opening covered, alternative opening uncovered), children perseverated with the recently learned, but now ineffective tool use strategy. Neither age nor acquisition type of the first strategy affected preschoolers’ perseverations. Results indicate that prior tool use experiences have differential effects in situations that require either transferring known functions to novel objects or using a familiar tool for an alternative purpose.
