Abstract:
Automated tool changing of CNC machines reduces the cycle time of operations as most processes require a number of different tools to complete a task. The machine can be pre-loaded with the required tools and programmed to automatically retrieve the tools as required. CNC machines will often run unattended or work too quickly for manual intervention, so it is important that safety features and checks are built in to prevent damage. The purpose of this research project was to modify a tool changing system for a reconfigurable machine tool (RMT), which was previously developed in the Department

Abstract:
For the problem of reconfigurable machine tools existing in the field of manufacturing and processing cost, the reconfiguration strategy of a reconfigurable machine tool (RMT) was proposed based on the analysis of polymorphism processing tasks. Firstly, the models of fixed cost and reconstruction cost in per production cycle were built. On this basis, the cost model of RMT during the whole production cycle was built. Then the Dijkstra’s algorithm was used to solve the model and the optimal reconstruction program was obtained. Finally, a RMT for the engine block production was taken as an examp

Abstract:
Computerized control systems for machine tools must generate coordinated movements of the separately driven axes of motion in order to trace accurately a predetermined path of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece. However, since the dynamic properties of the individual machine axes are not exactly equal, undesired contour errors are generated. The contour error is defined as the distance between the predetermined and actual path of the cutting tool. The cross-coupling controller (CCC) strategy was introduced to effectively decrease the contour errors in conventional, orthogonal machine t
