Abstract Numerous factors affect the increased temperature of a machine tool, including prolonged and high-intensity usage, tool-workpiece interaction, mechanical friction, and elevated ambient temperatures, among others. Consequently, spindle thermal displacement occurs, and machining precision suffers. To prevent the errors caused by the temperature rise of the Spindle from affecting the accuracy during the machining process, typically, the factory will warm up the machine before the manufacturing process. However, if there is no way to understand the tool spindle's thermal deformation, the machining quality will be greatly affected. In order to solve the above problem, this study More >

Abstract The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system consumes nearly 50% of the building’s energy, especially in Taiwan with a hot and humid climate. Due to the challenges in obtaining energy sources and the negative impacts of excessive energy use on the environment, it is essential to employ an energy-efficient HVAC system. This study conducted the machine tools building in a university. The field measurement was carried out, and the data were used to conduct energy modelling with EnergyPlus (EP) in order to discover some improvements in energy-efficient design. The validation between field measurement and… More >

Abstract Studying the vibrational behavior of feed drive systems is important for enhancing the structural performance of computer numerical control (CNC) machines. The preload on the screw and nut position have a great influence on the vibration characteristics of the feed drive as two very important operational conditions. Rotational acceleration of the screw also affects the performance of the CNC feed drive when machining small parts. This paper investigates the influence of preload and nut position on the vibration characteristics of the feed drive system of a CNC metal cutting machine in order to be able More >

Abstract A methodology of on-line monitoring of the diameter of the cathode electrode is put forward in light of the issue that the diameter of the cathode electrode cannot be detected in an accurate manner in short electric arc machine tools. The monitoring methodology is capable of precisely determining the wear amount of the cathode electrode and uses the bus module in the numerical control machine tool to feed the wear amount of the cathode electrode back to the numerical control system (CNC system). The CNC system dynamically adjusts the position of the cathode electrode by More >
