Diagnosis of multi-operational machining processes through variation propagation analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is a very challenging task to develop effective process control methodologies for multi-operational manufacturing processes. Although Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been widely used as the primary method in the control of quality, it mainly serves as a change detection tool rather than a method to identify root causes of process changes. This paper proposes a systematic approach to overcome the limitations faced by SPC. In this method, a state space variation propagation model is derived from the product and process design information. The virtual machining concept is applied to isolate faults between operations, and further used in the root cause determination. The detailed methodology is presented, and a case study is conducted to illustrate and verify the developed diagnosis method. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Part Dimensional Error and Its Propagation Modeling in Multi-Operational Machining Processes
In a multi-operational machining process (MMP), the final product variation is an accumulation or stack-up of variation from all machining operations. Modeling and control of the variation propagation is essential to improve product dimensional quality. This paper presents a state space model and its modeling strategies to describe the variation stack-up in MMPs. The physical relationship is ex...
متن کاملVariation transmission analysis and diagnosis of multi-operational machining processes
In a Multi-operational Machining Process (MMP), final product variation is an accumulation, or stack-up of variations generated at all the manufacturing operations. In this paper, variation transmission in the MMP is analyzed by relating part variations to operational errors from machine tools, fixtures and datums. At each operation, total part variation is separated into several components cor...
متن کاملMulti-Operational Machining Processes Modeling for Sequential Root Cause Identification and Measurement Reduction
Variation propagation modeling has been proved to be an effective way for variation reduction and design synthesis in multi-operational manufacturing processes. However, previously developed approaches for machining processes did not directly model the process physics regarding how fixture, and datum, and machine tool errors generate the same pattern on part features. Consequently, it is diffic...
متن کاملState space modeling of dimensional variation propagation in multistage machining process using differential motion vectors
In this paper, a state space model is developed to describe the dimensional variation propagation of multistage machining processes. A complicated machining system usually contains multiple stages. When the workpiece passes through multiple stages, machining errors at each stage will be accumulated and transformed onto the workpiece. Differential motion vector, a concept from the robotics field...
