The technological and economic aspects of the on-line optimization of turning operations on lathes equipped with a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) are discussed. A model of the machining process suitable for developing an Adaptive Constrained Control (ACC) is described. For optimization, a hill-climbing strategy which can be software implemented in the operating system of the CNC is used. Performance of such an ACC is also compared with the more general Adaptive Control Optimization (ACO) System. Machining tests carried out on a CNC lathe fitted with the ACC System are reported and discussed. The practical effectiveness of the ACC so developed and the reduction in machining time are demonstrated with reference to complete working cycles of typical workpieces.

Virtual manufacturing technology is used to simulate the computer numerical control (CNC) lathe, virtual prototype of the CNC lathe is established. In the simulating process, the explain module and the check module of the CNC code are analyzed, the differential radial dynamic scaling technology is used to simulate the workpiece forming process, then the motion simulation of the virtual CNC lathe system is realized, and the system is drived by the CNC code. The machining process and workpiece forming process can be observed directly in the virtual environment, so the correctness of the CNC code can be checked in advance to avoid the interference, collisions or other problems in the actual lathe processing and reduce the the scrap rate of the workpiece and tool in the actual machining process.

The work described is the result of a research project for developing a roundness error compensation scheme in turning processes based on the p-integrator learning controller and an on-line metrology system. The objective is to eliminate the repeatable error in turning operations. The scheme was realized on a CNC lathe. The effectiveness of the scheme is supported by the experimental results obtained through workpiece inspections.

The main task is to study the CNC lathe cutting force signal on-line monitoring system design, it mainly includes the cutting force signal acquisition, real-time monitoring and subsequent processing and analysis. Cutting force signal acquisition is the use of Kistler piezoelectric sensor signal, converted into voltage signal, and through the data acquisition board, to convert analog signals into digital signals, input to the computer, the computer real-time monitoring of machining process. Signal processing is to the acquisition of signal processing and analysis, to obtain the correct dynamic cutting force signal, to verify the stability and reliability of the whole monitoring system.

The deformation machining process (DMP) involves machining and incremental forming of thin structures. It can be applied for manufacturing products such as curved-surface blades without using 5-axis computerised numerical control machines. This work presents the effect of tool diameter and forming temperature on spring-back and dimensional accuracy of a simple fabricated part. The results of the first phase of the study are utilised to design the fabrication process of a curved surface blade. A feature-based algorithm is used to design the tool path for the forming process. The dimensional accuracy of the final product is improved through warm forming, two-point incremental forming, and extension of the bending zone to the outside of the product edges. The results show that DMP can be used to fabricate complex curved-surface workpieces with acceptable dimensional accuracy.

Manufacturing process of metal part requires real-time temperature monitoring capability to ensure high surface integrity is upheld throughout the machining process. A smart temperature measurement and monitoring system for manufacturing process of metal parts is necessary to meet quality and productivity requirements. A smart temperature measurement can be applied in machining processes of conventional, non-conventional and computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Currently, an infrared fusion based thermometer Fluke Ti400 was employed for temperature measurement in a machining process. However, measured temperature in the form of data list with adjustable time range setting is not automatically linked to the computer for continuous monitoring and data analysis purposes. For this reason, a smart temperature measurement system was developed for a CNC milling operation on aluminum alloy (AA6041) using a MLX90614 infrared thermometer sensor operated by Arduino. The system enables data linkages with the computer because MLX90614 is compatible and linked to Microsoft Exel via the Arduino. This paper presents a work-study on the performance of this Arduino based temperature measurement system for dry milling process application. Here, the Arduino based temperature measurement system captured the workpiece temperature during machining of Aluminum Alloy (AA6041) and data were compared with the Fluke Ti400 infrared thermometer. Measurement results from both devices showed similar accuracy level with a deviation of ± 2 oC. Hence, a smart temperature measurement system was succeesfully developed expanding the scopes of current system setup.


: This paper discusses the recent developments in the field of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) hybrid process. Spark machining is a universally recognised unconventional process, excluding the restriction of having low machining efficiency. To overcome this, various investigations have been made on designing of electrode, types of dielectric medium, variations in input parameters etc. Although material expulsion rate have been found to improve, nonetheless it cannot encounter the requirements of modern industries and the quality of surface is inferior. To increase further the utility of EDM, its hybridization with other process have to be carried out. A hybrid process can reduce the machining time while maintaining better surface and material expulsion rate. In hybrid process, the mechanism of two processes is applied concurrently or consecutively. Although, the performance of combined process is better as compared to the individual processes but hybridization increases the process complexity.
