In metal cutting, the machining accuracy is more affected by thermal errors than by geometric errors. This paper models of the thermal errors for error analysis and develops on-the-machine measurement system by which the volumetric error are measured and compensated. The thermal error is modeled by means of angularity errors of a column and thermal drift error of the spindle unit which are measured by the touch probe unit with a star type styluses, a designed spherical ball artifact, and five gap sensors. In order to analyze the thermal characteristics under several operating conditions, experiments performed with the touch probe unit and five gap sensors on the vertical and horizontal machining centers.

This paper concerns the static, dynamic and thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed spindle system for horizontal machining centers with 45mm x50,000rpm. The spindle system is designed based on the angular contact ceramic ball bearings, built-in motor, oil-air lubrication method and oil jacket cooling method. The structural and thermal analysis models of spindle system are constructed by the finite element method. The static and dynamic characteristics are estimated based on the static deformation, modal parameter, mode shape and frequency response function, and the thermal characteristics are estimated based on the temperature rise, temperature distribution and thermal deformation. The analysis results illustrate that the designed spindle system has excellent structural and thermal stabilities

Due to the development of CNC machining centers and the complexity of machined part geometry, the ball-end milling became the most widely used the cutting process. Generally, the tool runout defined as the eccentricity of a rotating tool set in the holder involved the spindle runout and the problem of tool runout generated to remove the workpiece is a main factor affecting the machining accuracy. In this paper, the relationship of tool runout(zero-to-peak, P-K) and surface shape on the change of cutting conditions is studied and it is proposed the probability of prediction of surface shape from the in-process tool runout measurements with high response displacement sensor in the ball-end milling

Improving the reliability or long-term dependability of a system requires a different approach from the previous emphasis on short-term concerns. The purpose of this paper is to present a reliability evaluation method for an oil cooler intended for high-precision machining centers. The oil cooler system in question is a cooling device that minimizes the deformation caused from the heat generated by driving devices. This system is used for machine tools and semiconductor equipment. We predicted the reliability of the system based on the failure rate database and conducted the reliability test using a test-bed to evaluate the life of the oil cooler. The results provided an indication of the reliability of the system in terms of the failure rate and the MTBF of the oil cooler system and its components, as well as a distribution of the failure mode. These results will help increase the reliability of oil cooler systems. The evaluation method can also be used to determine the reliability of other machinery products.

It is very important to test linear cycle positioning accuracy of Machining centers as it affect all other machines machined by them in industries. For example, if the linear positioning accuracy of each axes directions is bad, the size of works will be wrong and the change-ability will be bad in the assembly of machine parts. In this paper, measuring systems are organized to measure linear displacements of table or spindle of machine center using laser interferometer, magnescale and tick pulses comming out from computer in order to get data at constant time intervals from the sensors. And each set of data gotten from test is expressed to a plots by computer treatment and the results of linear positioning error motion is estimated to numerics by statistical treatments.

In this research, we have developed a load/unload device capable of correcting the position automatically. Characteristic technologies such as compensation, control, guidance and communication have been modified and implemented on an existing electromagnetic guided AGV, helping to realize open system and distributed cooperation. We have applied the developed AGV with remote control and heterogeneous load/unload mechanisms in a machining system composed of various equipment such as machining centers, CMN and AS/RS and found that the AGV provided position error within $\pm$2mm.

As interest and demand for high value-added industries, including the global automobile and aerospace industries, have increased recently, demand for line centers with excellent performance that can respond to the production system for producing high value-added products is also rapidly increasing. A line center improves productivity based on the installed area using a multi-spindle compared to a conventional machining center. However, as the number of spindles increases, the weight increases and results in structural problems owing to the heat and vibration generated by each spindle. Therefore, it is necessary to improve machining precision through the structural improvement of the line center. This study presents research on the stabilization design of the line center through structural stability analysis through structural analysis to develop a compact multi-axis line center. An optimization model of the line center has been proposed to improve the processing precision and increase the rigidity by performing weight reduction based on the structural analysis results.

This study develops and operating software for a model plant. The model plant consists of an AS/RS system, two machining centers, an assembly line, and supplementary material handling equipments. Devices of each component are connected with the IBS RT24 DIO 16/16-T I/O module. Each I/O module communicates digital signals with the INTERBUS controller board via SUB-D 9 Connector cable. This study is a previous stage for developing an educational CIM software. Petri Nets is used for modelling the storage/retrieval of the AS/RS system, the flow of workpieces and the assembly line for parts. The operating software is coded with Microsoft Visual $C^{++}$ 5.0 and Interbus Library which is a software driver for the controller board. The operating software can be run on a MS Windows 95. Microsoft Access is used for the implementation of databases for BOM, AS/RS, and parts.
