In this paper, we developed an expert system that helped a machine-tool designer to select a moderate servomotor of the feed drive unit of a machine tool. With the specification of the drive unit, it searches for the set of servo-motors that have enough torque and power to satisfy the driving condition which the designer defines from the database. me database also contains knowledge and rules, which describe the design process and calculate design parameters of a feed drive. The knowledge-based design support module shows every steps of inference and reason for the solution that it provides.

This study is concerned about the development of tower type automatic tool changer. The tower type automatic tool changer is developed to reduce stand-by time by shortening tool change time. The developed system can store more number of tools in small space. A structural analysis for the machine is carried out to check the machine design using commercial software, CATIA V5. In the result of structural analysis, the safety of the developed system is confirmed.

This paper presents rough cut tool path planning for the fewer-axis machine consisting of a three-axis CNC machine and a rotary indexing table. In the problem dealt with in this paper, the tool orientation is "intermediately" changed, distinguished from the conventional problem where the tool orientation is assumed to be fixed. The developed rough cut path planning algorithm tries to minimize the number of tool orientation (setup) changes together with tool changes and the machining time for the rough cut by the four procedures: a) decomposition of the machining area based on the possibility of tool interference (via convex hull operation), b) determination of the optimal tool size and orientation (via network graph theory and branch-and bound algorithm), c) generation of tool path for the tool and orientation (based on zig-zag pattern), and d) feedrate adjustment to maintain the cutting force at an operation level (based on average cutting force). The developed algorithms are validated via computer simulations, and can be also used in pure fiveaxis machining environment without modification.

The design process of machine tools is regarded as a sequential, discrete, and inefficient works as it requires various kinds of design tools and many working hours. This paper describes an integrated design system embedding a design methodology that can support efficiently and systematically the conceptual structural design of machine tools. The system is a knowledge-based design system and has four machine-tool-specific functional modules including configuration design, configuration analysis, structure design, and structural analysis support module. Through the configuration design and analysis module, a machine configuration appropriate for design requirements is selected, and then the arrangement of ribs fer each structural part is decided in the structure design module. Also, the structural analysis support module is used to evaluate design result by utilizing structural analysis software, ANSYS. The system is applied to design of a tapping machine, and shows that the machine structure can be designed fast and conveniently by processing each design step interactively.

With the rapid development of industrial technologies, the demand for high precision products has been increasing drastically. For this reason, the need for developing of high performance machine tool, which can ensure high precision, is desired in the industrial fields. Technologies on the spindle system manufacture, guideway manufacture, error compensation, design of bed structure, protection against vibrations, and system integration are core technology for developing of high precision machine tools. Especially, among these, design of spindle system, which is leading precision and manufacturing technique. is one of the most important technologies. A high speed and high precision spindle system, which will be used for final machining of ferrule, is designed considering the effect caused by thermal, cutting torque, cutting farce, and work-piece materials. The detail process of analysis is presented.

Bladed disk (BLISK) is a vital part in jet engines with a complicated shape which is exclusively machined on a five-axis machine and requires high accuracy of machining. Poor quality of tool orientation (e.g., false tool positioning and unsmooth tool orientation transition) during the five-axis machining may cause collision and machine vibration, which will debase the machining quality and in the worst case sabotage the BLISK. This paper presents a reference plane based algorithm to generate a set of smoothly aligned tool orientations along a tool path. The proposed method guarantees that no collision would occur anywhere along the tool path, and the overall smoothness is globally optimized. A preliminary simulation verification of the proposed algorithm is conducted on a BLISK model and the tool orientation generated is found to be stable, smooth, and well-formed.

This paper deals with thermal characteristic analysis of induction motors for machine tool spindle for motion error prediction. Firstly, the inverse design of general induction motors for machine tool spindle has been performed by design principles. Characteristics considering VVVF inverter of induction motors were analyzed. Secondary, power loss and thermal characteristics of induction motors analyzed by equivalent thermal resistance model from Motor-CAD S/W. To develop a second-order fitted power-loss distribution model for the constant-torque operating range of the induction motor, we employed the design of experiment and response surface methodology techniques. Finally, the analysis results were experimentally verified, and the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed.

In this paper a CAD-based optimal design system is introduced and applied to optimal design of machine tool structures. The system is designed to reduce manual interfacing effort. All the design activities such as selecting design variables, making FE meshes and FE analysis are integrated on a parametric CAD program. A user can easily select design variables by clicking a CAD model. To enhance the robustness and versatility, this system uses the finite difference method for the design sensitivity analysis. By taking a practical example of the design of the column of a horizontal machining center, it is shown that the software system is efficiently usable in industry establishing the goal of minimizing user intervention between various analysis and optimization activities.

플라스틱 사출성형은 원재료를 한 번의 가공으로 최종 제품을 만들 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 사출성형을 위해서는 금형의 설치, 플라스틱 수지의 용융, 용융수지의 사출, 성형품의 취출 등을 위하여 사출성형기는 반드시 필요하다. 사출성형기는 여러 가지 방법으로 구분되는데, 본 연구는 현재 국내 A사에서 생산되고 있는 토글식 사출성형기를 대상으로 한다. 연구내용으로는 사출성형기의 여러 부품 및 주요한 플레이트에 대하여 3차원 모델링을 실시하고, 3차원 캐드상에서 조립하여 사출성형기의 전체 구조를 파악하였다. 그리고 에너지 및 생산비 절감을 위하여 주요 플레이트에 대하여 유한요소법을 이용하여 사출압력과 형체력 적용시의 플레이트에 발생하는 스트레스와 변위를 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 플레이트를 개선하였다. 개선된 플레이트를 대상으로 유한요소 재해석을 통하여 고정플레이트는 약 2.7%, 이동 플레이트는 약 3.5%, 테일 스톡은 약 6.9%의 중량 감소 결과를 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an approach to generate tool-path for laser pattern machining. Considering the mechanical structure of a laser pattern machine, it is quite similar to that of a 2D milling machine. Based on the observation, one may try to utilize the tool-path generation methodologies of 2D milling for the laser pattern machining. However, it is not possible to generate tool-path without considering the technological requirements of laser pattern machining which are different from those of 2D milling. In this paper, we identify the technological requirement of laser pattern machining, and propose a proper tool-path generation methodology to satisfy the technological requirements. For the efficient generation of tool-path, this paper proposes a tool-path element computation method, which is based on the concept of a monotone chain.
