Increasing the Productivity of Multitool Machining on Automated Lathes by Optimizing the Tool Positions

Abstract

A method is developed for optimizing the tool distribution within a multispindle automatic lathe on the basis of a mathematical model in which the influence of tools at longitudinal and transverse supports on the dimensional precision is taken into account. That permits calculation of the tool distribution over the positions within the lathe so as to ensure maximum machining productivity.

“…However, as a result of a survey of a number of enterprises, it turned out that the basic time in the manufacture of similar parts can differ by 1.5 -2 times. As a result of analyzing the reasons for this situation, among others, differences in the parameters of applied tools and adjustment structures that differ in surface machining plans, distribution of tools on machine positions and methods of tool replacement were revealed [1,2].…”

Theoretical Basis for the Development of an Algorithmic Unified Complex of Mathematical Models of Cutting Forces

“…As part of the creation of a matrix theory of the accuracy of multi-tool machining [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], for a range of multi-tool adjustments, two classes of error models for the dimensions performed have been developed:…”

“…Thus, for the practical application of the machining error models developed in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], the dependences of the coordinate components of the cutting forces on technological factors are necessary (parameters of cutting conditions, strength properties of the material being machined, deformation properties of the technological system, etc.). These dependencies establish the so-called cutting force models.…”

“…Koshin's plane-parallel accuracy theory [18] of multi-tool machining is based on traditional empirical power dependences for the components of cutting forces. Machining error models in the proposed matrix theory of accuracy [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] are also formed using power dependences for the components of cutting forces:…”
