The processing of high-precision aerospace parts requires not only ultra-precision machine tools, but also high-efficiency processing. However, in order to realize high-efficiency processing, besides optimizing the system and process parameters, some subversive research can also be done on the machine tool structure. In this paper, the lightweight research is mainly carried out on the structure of machine tool worktable. The traditional workbench is very “heavy” and “slowness”. If the traditional workbench is subverted and reformed to reduce the weight, the processing efficiency will be improved qualitatively. Therefore, this paper studies the lightweight worktable of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) in combination with the biological “honeycomb” shape. At first, the tensile, bending, compressive and laminar shear analysis of CFRP were carried out, and the comprehensive parameters were obtained. Simultaneously, the theoretical research and the honeycomb structure simulation and verification of CFRP worktable are carried out. The results show that the HACT (honeycomb arrangement of circular tubes) is 18.51% better than the SACT (straight arrangement of circular tubes) and 45.05% better than the OW (original worktable) by comparing and analyzing the weight of the three modes (HACT, SACT and OW). The actual weight of bionic honeycomb lightweight worktable is 1100 kg, while the simulation result is 1080.25 kg, with an error of 1.8%. Meanwhile, it is analyzed that the original workbench weight of the five-axis machining center is 2023 kg, while the simulation result is 1998.6 kg, with an error of 1.2%. The lightweight degree is reduced by 45.05%. However, the actual lightweight degree has been reduced by 45.63%. The error between simulation and actual is less than 1.3%. This kind of structural transformation has brought forward cutting-edge innovations to the machine tool processing industry. It provides a reference scheme for related enterprises in the future equipment renovation.
In the grinding process, because the grinding wheel will wear, it is difficult to control the grinding accuracy of the workpiece by the grinder itself. Using radial measuring instrument to measure workpiece size in real time, detect the change of workpiece size and guide the adjustment of grinding parameters can improve the production efficiency of grinder and reduce the machining cost, which is an important link in the machining process of grinder. Different from the traditional two-point contact on-line measurement technology of outer diameter, this paper designs and develops a set of three-point contact on-line measurement device of outer diameter based on the principle of bow height and chord length. In the measuring process, two fixed probes and one displacement sensing probe are in contact with the outer diameter of the workpiece at the same time, and the on-line measurement of the outer diameter of the workpiece is realized by solving the positional relationship among the three probes. In order to avoid resonance in the measuring process of the three-point contact external diameter online measuring device, In this paper, the modal analysis of the device is carried out in the environment of ANSYS Workbench 17.0, and the results show that the first-order and second-order natural frequencies of the free mode of the three-point contact on-line outer diameter measuring device are 648.57 Hz. When the measuring claw of the device is prestressed, the first-order and second-order natural frequencies of the device are 398.5 Hz and 403.94 Hz, respectively, which meet the requirements for on-line measurement of workpieces with rotational speeds in the range of 0-150rpm.
