The feed axes of computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine tools are among the most mechanically stressed components of machine tools owing to the high process forces and rough manufacturing environment which they encounter. The resulting wear and tear depends strongly on the product range and the manner of machine operation. To counteract a functional deficiency of these central machine units, the current usual approach is preventive maintenance. The manual inspection of feed axes is complex and time consuming. A complicating matter is that the deterioration normally progresses very slowly and depends on the position of the stress along the axis. Existing approaches to automated estimation of the ‘health status’ of feed axes do not take this factor into account. This paper presents a procedure that addresses this gap. During simple test routines, the drive current, axis position, and feed rate are recorded. With the help of additional machine data, characteristic values are computed directly at the computer of the human—machine interface (HMI). The results are then transferred to and stored on a database server at the machine manufacturer. This approach enables the service technician to trace the progression of the axes’ ‘health status’ over a long time. This approach makes it possible to detect trends in the characteristic values at an early point in time. This leads to a better planning of necessary maintenance actions adapted to the remaining lifetime of the wearing component.

Background: Spindle imbalance vibration of the computer numerical control grinding machine may result in dramatic effects on tool wear, surface finish, and form-holding of the products, which makes the balancing procedure very essential during their manufacturing process. Although the spindle residual vibration in a single direction can be suppressed effectively by the commonly used commercial balance systems, some real-world application results show that most of these balance systems cannot reduce the spindle residual vibration in horizontal, vertical, and axial direction simultaneously. Methods: To overcome this issue, the limitation of commonly used influence coefficient method–based spindle balance method is discussed first. After that, a novel balance method is experimentally proposed for the spindle vibration control using the position fluctuation information between the carriage and guideway of the servo-axis. In this method, the position fluctuation information between the carriage and guideway and the key phase information are practically measured using the built-in linear scale and spindle servomotor encoder, respectively, in which the position fluctuation information between the carriage and guideway can be considered as an integrated representation of the spindle imbalance vibration. Combined with the influence coefficient method, the imbalance vibration presenting in the horizontal, vertical, and axial direction of the spindle can be suppressed simultaneously and effectively. Results and Conclusions: A field balancing experiment is carried out on a high-precision computer numerical control gear grinding machine. Experiment results demonstrate that, compared with the commonly used commercial balancing system, the proposed method can not only reduce the residual vibration amplitude at the objective balancing speed effectively but also reduce the residual vibration amplitude more than 50% simultaneously in each direction during the whole run-down process.

To reduce form grinding errors, this paper proposes a free-form flank topographic correction method based on a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) gear profile grinding machine. This correction method is applied not only to the five-axis machine settings (during grinding) but also to the wheel profile (during wheel truing). To achieve free-form modification of the wheel profile, the wheel is formulated as B-spline curves using a curve fitting technique and then normal correction functions made up of four-degree polynomials are added into its working curves. Additionally, each axis of the grinding machine is formulated as a six-degree polynomial. Based on a sensitivity analysis of the polynomial coefficients (normal correction functions and CNC machine settings) on the ground tooth flank and the topographic flank errors, the corrections are solved using the least squares method. The ground tooth flank errors can then be efficiently reduced by slightly adjusting the wheel profile and five-axis movement according to the solved corrections. The validity of this flank correction method for helical gears is numerically demonstrated using the five-axis CNC gear profile grinding machine.

In order to meet the development demands for high-speed and high-precision of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools, the equipped CNC systems begin to employ the technical route of software hardening. Making full use of the advanced performance of Large Scale Integrated Circuits (LSIC), this paper puts forward using Field Programmable Gates Array (FPGA) for the functional modules of CNC system, which is called Intelligent Software Hardening Chip (ISHC). The CNC system architecture with high performance is constructed based on the open system thought and ISHCs. The corresponding programs can be designed with Very high speed integrate circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and downloaded into the FPGA. These hardening modules, including the arithmetic module, contour interpolation module, position control module and so on, demonstrate that the proposed schemes are reasonable and feasibility.

Contour Following

The tracking and contouring errors are inevitable in real computer numerical control contour following because of the reasons such as servo delay and dynamics mismatch. In order to improve the motion accuracy, this paper proposes a synergistic real-time compensation method of tracking and contouring errors for precise parametric curve following of the computer numerical control systems. The tracking error for each individual axis is first compensated, by using the feed-drive models with the consideration of model uncertainties, to enhance the tracking performances of all axes. Further, the contouring error is estimated and compensated to improve the contour accuracy directly, where a high-precision contouring-error estimation algorithm, based on spatial circular approximation of the desired contour neighboring the actual motion position, is presented. Considering that the system structure is coupled after compensation, the stability of the coupled system is analyzed for design of the synergistic compensator. Innovative contributions of this study are that not only the contouring-error can be estimated with a high precision in real time, but also the tracking and contouring performances can be simultaneously improved although there exist modeling errors and disturbances. Simulation and experimental tests demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.
