The coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface in high speed NC machine has significant influence on machine tool accuracy and process stability. With the example of HSK-E63, based on nonlinear finite element method (FEM), the coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface under high rotational speed was investigated, the influence of interference, clamping force and rotational speed on the contact stress and the sectional area of clearance were discussed in detail. The results can be used as theoretical consideration to design and optimize the high speed tool-holder/spindle interface.

ABSTRACTIn this study, the thermal deformation of a machine tool structure due to the heat generated during operation was analyzed, and embedded cooling channels were applied to exchange the heat generated during the operation to achieve thermal error suppression. Then, the finite volume method was used to simulate the effect of cooling oil temperature on thermal deformation, and the effect of thermal suppression was experimentally studied using a feed system combined with a cooler to improve the positioning accuracy of the machine tool. In this study, the supply oil temperature in the structural cooling channels was found to significantly affect the position accuracy of the moving table and moving carrier. If the supply oil temperature in the cooling channels is consistent with the operational ambient temperature, the position accuracy of the moving table in the Y direction and the moving carrier in the X and Z directions has the best performance under different feed rates. From the thermal suppression experiments of the embedded cooling channels, the positioning accuracy of the feed system can be improved by approximately 25.5 % during the dynamic feeding process. Furthermore, when the hydrostatic guideway is cooled and dynamic feeding is conducted, positioning accuracy can be improved by up to 47.8 %. The machining accuracy can be improved by approximately 60 % on average by using the embedded cooling channels in this study. Therefore, thermal suppression by the cooling channels in this study can not only effectively improve the positioning accuracy but also enhance machining accuracy, proving that the method is effective for enhancing machine tool accuracy.

With the demands of machine tool accuracy and stability for manufacturing are getting higher and higher, the effect of cooling oil is increasingly evident. And it is proved that cooling oil temperature is an important factor for machine cutting precision and stability. Continuous cutting test was carried on and values of over pin dial (M) were measured. The results show that it has large effect of cooling oil temperature on the stability of M-value. Subsequently, test of machine capability index (CMK) was carried on. And it was verified that the CMK of gear shaping machine is larger than 1.67. And the results show that the fluctuation of M values is the smallest when cooling oil temperature is 33°C. Lowest time costing for adjusting the processing system, highest cutting accuracy, and smallest value of stable amplitude for Gear Shaping Machine could be obtained at this condition.

A very important factor for the hydrostatic guideways is given by the presence of the restrictor on the supply circuit, whose hydraulic resistance may have important effects on the lubricant film behaviour and implicitly, on the static and dynamic stiffness of the system. This paper presents a new method of experimental research regarding the hydrostatic guideway stiffness, depending on the hydraulic resistances values which supply each pocket. During the experiments which approach the influence of the hydraulic resistances values of the restrictors on the hydrostatic guideway stiffness, a centered constant loads of 20, 50 and 100 [daN] was used. The experiments were carried out on an experimental setup composed of an open hydrostatic guideway, having the pocket dimensions of 150x88 [m, supplied with liquid under pressure through means of a pack of adjustable restrictors. The obtained experimental results are presented in both tabular and graphical form and constitute an experimental database which can be used by the machine tools designers and manufacturers. The paper contains recommendations regarding the usage of hydraulic resistances values depending on the machine tool type and size. Also, from the obtained results, recommendations can be made with regard to the type of restrictors to be used, so that the lubricant filtration grade is comprised between admissible values.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to produce a decision support aid for machine tool owners to utilise while deciding upon a maintenance strategy. Furthermore, the decision support tool is adaptive and capable of suggesting different strategies by monitoring for any change in machine tool manufacturing accuracy. Design/methodology/approach A maintenance cost estimation model is utilised within the research and development of this decision support system (DSS). An empirical-based methodology is pursued and validated through case study analysis. Findings A case study is provided where a schedule of preventative maintenance actions is produced to reduce the need for the future occurrences of reactive maintenance actions based on historical machine tool accuracy information. In the case study, a 28 per cent reduction in predicted accuracy-related expenditure is presented, equating to a saving of £14k per machine over a five year period. Research limitations/implications The emphasis on improving machine tool accuracy and reducing production costs is increasing. The presented research is pioneering in the development of a software-based tool to help reduce the requirement on domain-specific expert knowledge. Originality/value The paper presents an adaptive DSS to assist with maintenance strategy selection. This is the first of its kind and is able to suggest a preventative strategy for those undertaking only reactive maintenance. This is of value for both manufacturers and researchers alike. Manufacturers will benefit from reducing maintenance costs, and researchers will benefit from the development and application of a novel decision support technique.

In order to machine the complex free surface, in this paper, NC interpolation of any complex surface is realized used the recursive reconstruction algorithm. The interpolating errors of this algorithm are controllable, and its applicability is relatively wide. Then, these NC codes of the complex human’s free surface are obtained with data exchange of the manufacturing module in the software UG, and machining simulation is obtained used NC codes. Finally, these NC codes are entered into the NC micro-machine tool, which is controlled by the PMAC and developed by ourselves, and the experimental research of the human’s free surface has been finished on this machine tool. The experimental results show that the NC interpolation accuracy of this recursive reconstruction algorithm is very high, and the machining simulation and machining experiments of the complex human’s surface are completely consistent. The study result shows that the complex surface molding is smooth and continuous, and the machined surface is satisfactory.
