MACHINE TOOL ABILITY REPRESENTATION: A REVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Smart manufacturing and predictive maintenance are current trends in the manufacturing industry. However, the holistic understanding of the machine tool health condition in terms of accuracy, functions, process and availability is still unclear. This uncertainty renders the development of models and the data acquisition related to machine tool health condition ineffective. This paper proposes the term machine tool ability as an interconnection between the accuracy, functions, the process and the availability to overcome the lack of the holistic understanding of the machine tool. This will facilitate the further development of qualitative or quantitative methods as well as models. The research highlights the challenges and gaps to understand the machine tool ability.<br/><br/>

ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN MQL ASSISTED TURNING PROCESS OF TITANIUM ALLOY WITH APPLICATION OF TOPSIS-AHP METHOD
The optimization of surface roughness values considered as one of the most significant issues regarding turning process of titanium alloys with the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method. With such an aim in mi...
INVESTIGATION OF LOCAL AND MODAL BASED ACTIVE VIBRATION CONTROL STRATEGIES ON THE EXAMPLE OF AN ELASTIC SYSTEM
Nowadays, feed axes are often equipped with multiple parallel-acting actuators in order to increase the dynamics of the machine tool. Also, additional actuators for active damping are widely used. Normally, the drives or...
DECOMPOSITION ALGORITHM FOR TOOL PATH PLANNING FOR WIRE-ARC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Three-axis machines are limited in the production of geometrical features in powder-bed additive manufacturing processes. In case of overhangs, support material has to be added due to the nature of the process, which cau...
The comparative analysis of the selected construction types of axial compressor stage including the modal analysis
The article concerns the issues of the scope of optimization of the gas turbine jet engine. These issues include limiting the weight and number of engine parts. One way to reduce the weight and number of components, incl...
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...
