Conceptual Design for Electromagnetic Guided Rotary Table in Machine Tools

Development of a Design Tool for Conceptual Design Stages of Machine Tools

Conceptual Design Tools for Civil Engineering

This paper gives a brief overview of the tools we have developed to support conceptual design in civil engineering. Based on the UPGRADE framework, two applications, one for the knowledge engineer and another for architects allow to store domain specific knowledge and to use this knowledge during conceptual design. Consistency analyses check the design against the defined knowledge and inform t...

forced vibration analysis of machine tools’ hexapod table

in this paper, an analytical study of the forced vibrations of hexapod table is studied. considering external force as a time sinusoid force, forced vibrations of the platform are investigated. resonance frequencies and vibrations of the moving platform are also calculated in different directions. the results of the analytical approach are verified using fem simulation. modelling the harmonic m...

Integrated Machine and Control Design for Reconfigurable Machine Tools

In this paper, we describe a systematic design procedure for reconfigurable machine tools and their associated control systems. The starting point for the design is a set of operations that must be performed on a given part or part family. These operations are decomposed into a set of functions that the machine must perform, and the functions are mapped to machine modules, each of which has an ...
