摘要:
Design parameters of a cutting tool (1), which include the feed speed (f), the cutting depth (da) in an axial direction, the cutting depth (dr) in a radial direction, and the cutting speed (v), are used to calculate the deflection amount (±) of the cutting tool (1). It is determined whether chatter vibration of the cutting tool (1) will occur, on the basis of the deflection amount (±) and a prescribed threshold value (²), and the maximum cutting thickness (Ctmax) is calculated on the basis of the determination result. The cutting temperature (t) is calculated from the maximum cutting thickness (Ctmax) and the cutting speed (v), and it is determined whether the tool life will be fulfilled, on the basis of the cutting temperature (t) and a prescribed threshold value (³). The cutting efficiency (e) is calculated on the basis of the determination result, and the calculated cutting efficiency (e) is compared with previously stored cutting-efficiency data, and, in cases when the calculated cutting efficiency (e) is the maximum value in the data, the design parameters are set as cutting conditions.

摘要:
A system and method for a self-contained self-calibrating modular manufacturing device having modular tools and parts configured to collectively accomplish a specific task or function. The modular device includes a housing that has a mount configured to engage a robotic arm or other form of maneuvering actuator (such a crane or gantry). The housing provides a base by which additional modules are mounted and coupled. The modular device also includes an interface configured to communicate with a remote control system capable of controlling the robotic arm. Such modules work in conjunction with each other to accomplish tasks and functions. In a self-contained self-calibrating modular manufacturing device, a processor disposed in the housing is configured to control the functional tools (e.g., each end-effector) independent of the overall manufacturing control system as well as use local sensors to determine aspects of an underlying manufactured items for calibration purposes.

Design parameters of a cutting tool (1), which include the feed speed (f), the cutting depth (da) in an axial direction, the cutting depth (dr) in a radial direction, and the cutting speed (v), are used to calculate the deflection amount (α) of the cutting tool (1). It is determined whether chatter vibration of the cutting tool (1) will occur, on the basis of the deflection amount (α) and a prescribed threshold value (β), and the maximum cutting thickness (Ctmax) is calculated on the basis of the determination result. The cutting temperature (t) is calculated from the maximum cutting thickness (Ctmax) and the cutting speed (v), and it is determined whether the tool life will be fulfilled, on the basis of the cutting temperature (t) and a prescribed threshold value (γ). The cutting efficiency (e) is calculated on the basis of the determination result, and the calculated cutting efficiency (e) is compared with previously stored cutting-efficiency data, and, in cases when the calculated cutting efficiency (e) is the maximum value in the data, the design parameters are set as cutting conditions.

摘要:
A method of machining gears or other toothed articles wherein the workpiece feed rate and/or the tool shifting is varied so as to produce an irregular surface pattern on tooth surfaces with a resulting reduction in mesh noise. The method is particularly applicable to grinding spur and/or helical gears with a grinding worm.
摘要:
The feed system (30) for a honing machine (10) provides a capability to dynamically correct in real time errors in bore size inferred arising from variations in feed force, and a method of operation of the same. The system (10) allows a user to select between rate and force controlled honing modes, which provides one or more of the advantages of both modes. The system provides capabilities for automatic rapid automatic bore wall detection, compensation for elasticity of elements of the feed system (30) and honing tool (14), and automatic tool protection. The system is automatically operable using feed force, feed rate and positional information for honing a work piece (20) to one or more target parameters, such as one or more in-process sizes and a final size.
