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/>

ACCURACY OF WORK TOOL POSITION MEASUREMENT BY MEANS OF A DRILLING MONITORING SYSTEM
The article presents examples of test results of an innovative, optical system of tool location identification in a workspace. This system was developed and produced as part of the research carried out in cooperation wit...
LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINE ENCLOSURES FOR DYNAMIC AND EFFICIENT PRODUCTION PROCESSES
Usually machining centres for processing wood-based and composite materials have moving partial machine enclosures in the X-axis direction. Because the workpieces to be machined are often large (e.g. aircraft doors), the...
COMPARISON OF CLASSIFICATION ABILITY INDICES OF PARAMETERS CHARACTERIZING THE STEREOMETRIC FEATURES OF TECHNICAL SURFACES
The study examined the relationship between the values of two indices evaluating the classification capacity of parameters characterizing the stereometric features of technical surfaces. The values of 83 3D parameters ch...
SIMULATION FOR INSTABLE FLOATING OF HYDRODYNAMIC GUIDES DURING ACCELERATION AND AT CONSTANT VELOCITY
High speeds and the resulting hydrodynamic pressure lead to significant floating of the linear guides. During this movement, the floating behaviour shows phenomena that can be explained by the Reynolds equation. This pap...
UTILISATION OF IOT AND SENSING FOR MACHINE TOOLS
Strong requirements for automation in the production processes using machine tools have been increasing due to lack of high-skilled machining engineers. Automation used to be utilised in mass production, but it is also n...
