AUTONOMOUS MACHINING – RECENT ADVANCES IN PROCESS PLANNING AND CONTROL
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
While autonomous driving has come close to reality over the recent years, machining is still characterised by many manual tasks and prone to costly errors. In this article, an overview is given about the potential of autonomous machining and uprising technologies that support this vision. For that purpose, a definition of autonomous machine tools and the required elements is presented. Next, selected elements of an autonomous machine tool, e.g. sensory machine components and control loops, are discussed. Finally, some insights into ongoing research projects regarding the use of machine learning for process planning and control are given.<br/><br/>

EXTENSION OF A PHASE TRANSFORMATION MODEL FOR PARTIAL HARDENING IN HOT STAMPING
The quality of predicted microstructural and mechanical properties in hot stamping simulations relies considerably on the material model. Many researchers studied the effect of the plastic deformation on the phase transf...
INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY OF CUTTING PROCESSES BY REAL-TIME COMPENSATION OF TOOL DEFLECTION DUE TO PROCESS FORCES
The Internet of Production (IoP) describes a vision in which a broad range of different production data is available in real-time. Based on this data, for example, new control types can be implemented, which improve indi...
END MILLING OF TI-48AL-2CR-2NB UNDER HIGH-FEED CONDITIONS
Gamma titanium aluminides are fast developing materials and particularly in use for aerospace and automotive components. Due to the high cutting forces and raised cutting temperatures achieved during milling of this mate...
Cutting layer and cutting forces in a 5-axis milling of sculptured surfaces using the toroidal cutter
The purpose of this article was to evaluate the significance of the influence of five- axis orientation parameters of a toroidal cutter axis and the geometrical parameters of the machined sculptured surface on the inters...
METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE ACCURACY OF ROTATIONAL ELEMENTS MEASUREMENTS USING THE FIVE-AXIS COORDINATE MEASURING SYSTEM
The measurements of solids of revolution are one of the most common task in industrial practice. Therefore it is not surprising, that new solutions dedicated to improve accuracy and acceleration of measurements of rotati...
