This paper is an endeavour to critically appraise the existing methods used for real-time simulation of machine tool dynamics with the emphasis on modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of CNC machine tool feed drives and mechatronic systems for machine tools. The actual approaches for linking the feed drive models with structural models for CNC machine tools are examined. Also the f...

A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VMT system undergoes “pseudo-real machining”, before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to ...

This study investigates dry machining of hypereutectic silicon–aluminum alloys assisted with vortex-tube (VT) cooling. The objective is to reduce cutting temperatures and tool wear by enhanced heat dissipation through the chilled air generated by a VT. A machining experiment, cutting mechanics analysis, and temperature simulations are employed to (1) model the heat transfer of a cutting tool sy...

Regulating machining forces provides significant economic benefits by increasing operation productivity and improving part quality. Machining force regulation is a challenging problem since the force process varies significantly under normal operating conditions. Since fixed-gain controllers cannot guarantee system performance and stability as the force process varies, a substantial research ef...

The current experimental study is to investigate the effects of process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on performance characteristics (surface roughness, machining force and flank wear) in hard turning of AISI 4340 steel with multilayer CVD (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3) coated carbide insert. Combined effects of cutting parameter (v, f, d) on performance outputs (Ra, Fm and VB) are e...

the applications of electrochemical machining are increasing because of increasing requests of industries for materials with high strengh and high hardness. regular ecm uses a tool with spicified profile shape that is similar to final shape of workpiece. in this reasearch a nozzle that delivers electrolyte to the machining gap is used for machining cylinderical workpieces. by moving the electro...

This paper presents the Optimization of Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) process for the Electrochemical Machining Process by Particle Swarm Optimization Technique. The main aim of the work is to find the optimum values of machining parameters. The NonTraditional or Unconventional Machining Process has proved to be better than conventional machining process to a large extent. Keywords—Convention...

Controlling the process variations on the perimeter of a component to the targeted mean in milling is a huge challenge. Several factors such as spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, etc. affects this process variation. In this paper, spindle speed and feed rate are considered. Aluminum alloy 6061 widely used materials in aircraft, automobile and helicopter components is selected for this stud...

In this work, the Prediction of acceleration amplitude and surface roughness of Aluminium alloy (Al6061), reinforced with 15% Silicon Carbide particle (SiCp) metal matrix composites, has been made in the end milling process considering various machining parameters. The MMC was considered the difficult to machining due its reinforcement hardness and nature of abrasive element and the prediction ...
