The reliability of machine tool is getting more and more attention. Reasonable reliability allocation is beneficial to improve the inherent reliability of machine tool. However, the existing reliability allocation methods for machine tool have some limitations. For example, static part is selected as the reliability allocation object of machine tool, which cannot reflect the characteristics "function realized by motion"; factors affecting reliability allocation are not considered comprehensively, weights of experts are treated as the same, and the allocation results are not optimized or the impact of time on enterprise is neglected in the optimization. To solve these problems, a new multiobjective optimization reliability allocation method for machine tool is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the latest achievements about meta-action are given, and meta-action is set as the reliability allocation object. Secondly, more reasonable and comprehensive factors affecting reliability allocation are extracted. Thirdly, expert weight coefficient is brought to reduce the subjective impact of expert scoring. Fourthly, time factor is brought to make the optimized allocation results more reasonable and accurate. Finally, a numerical control (NC) machine tool made in China is taken as an example, with a comparison on the reliability allocation results of current methods and proposed method. The results verify the applicability, rationality, and accuracy of the proposed method, which lays a foundation for the subsequent study on the quality characteristics of machine tool based on meta-action.
As everyone knows, assembly quality plays a very important role in final product quality. Since computer numerical control machine tool is a large system with complicated structure and function, and there are complex association relationships among quality characteristics in assembly process, then it is difficult and inaccurate to analyze the whole computer numerical control machine tool quality characteristic association at one time. In this article, meta-action assembly unit is proposed as the basic analysis unit, of which quality characteristic association is studied to guarantee the whole computer numerical control machine tool assembly quality. First, based on ''Function-Motion-Action'' decomposition structure, the definitions of meta-action and meta-action assembly unit are introduced. Second, manufacturing process association and meta-action assembly unit quality characteristic association are discussed. Third, after understanding the definitions of information entropy and relative entropy, the concrete meta-action assembly unit quality characteristic association analysis steps based on relative entropy are described in detail. And finally, the lifting piston translation assembly unit of automatic pallet changer is taken as an example, the association degree between internal leakage and the influence factors of part quality characteristics and mate-relationships among them are calculated to figure out the most influential factors, showing the correctness and feasibility of this method.
