2、common benefits. Here are but a few of the more important benefits offered by CNC equipment.</p><p>　　The first benefit offered by all forms of CNC machine tools is improved automation. The operator interven

3、tion related to producing workpieces can be reduced or eliminated. Many CNC machines can run unattended during their entire machining cycle, freeing the operator to do other tasks. This gives the CNC user several side b

4、enefits including reduced operator fatigue, fewer mistakes caused by human error, and consistent and predictable machining time for each workpiece. Since the machine will be r</p><p>　　The second major benef

5、it of CNC technology is consistent and accurate workpieces. Today's CNC machines boast almost unbelievable accuracy and repeatability specifications. This means that once a program is verified, two, ten, or one thous

6、and identical workpieces can be easily produced with precision and consistency.</p><p>　　A third benefit offered by most forms of CNC machine tools is flexibility. Since these machines are run from programs,

7、 running a different workpiece is almost as easy as loading a different program. Once a program has been verified and executed for one production run, it can be easily recalled the next time the workpiece is to be run. T

8、his leads to yet another benefit, fast change over. Since these machines are very easy to set up and run, and since programs can be easily loaded, they allow very</p><p>　　Motion control - the heart of CNC&l

9、t;/p><p>　　The most basic function of any CNC machine is automatic, precise, and consistent motion control. Rather than applying completely mechanical devices to cause motion as is required on most conventional

10、 machine tools, CNC machines allow motion control in a revolutionary manner2. All forms of CNC equipment have two or more directions of motion, called axes. These axes can be precisely and automatically positioned along

11、their lengths of travel. The two most common axis types are linear (driven along </p><p>　　Instead of causing motion by turning cranks and handwheels as is required on conventional machine tools, CNC machine

12、s allow motions to be commanded through programmed commands. Generally speaking, the motion type (rapid, linear, and circular), the axes to move, the amount of motion and the motion rate (feedrate) are programmable with

13、almost all CNC machine tools.</p><p>　　A CNC command executed within the control tells the drive motor to rotate a precise number of times. The rotation of the drive motor in turn rotates the ball screw. And

14、 the ball screw drives the linear axis (slide). A feedback device (linear scale) on the slide allows the control to confirm that the commanded number of rotations has taken place3. Refer to fig.1.</p><p><

15、;b>　　Fig.1</b></p><p>　　Though a rather crude analogy, the same basic linear motion can be found on a common table vise. As you rotate the vise crank, you rotate a lead screw that, in turn, drives t

16、he movable jaw on the vise. By comparison, a linear axis on a CNC machine tool is extremely precise. The number of revolutions of the axis drive motor precisely controls the amount of linear motion along the axis.</p&

17、gt;<p>　　How axis motion is commanded - understanding coordinate systems</p><p>　　It would be infeasible for the CNC user to cause axis motion by trying to tell each axis drive motor how many times to

18、 rotate in order to command a given linear motion amount4. (This would be like having to figure out how many turns of the handle on a table vise will cause the movable jaw to move exactly one inch!) Instead, all CNC cont

19、rols allow axis motion to be commanded in a much simpler and more logical way by utilizing some form of coordinate system. The two most popular coordinate systems</p><p>　　The program zero point establishes

20、the point of reference for motion commands in a CNC program. This allows the programmer to specify movements from a common location. If program zero is chosen wisely, usually coordinates needed for the program can be tak

21、en directly from the print.</p><p>　　With this technique, if the programmer wishes the tool to be sent to a position one inch to the right of the program zero point, X1.0 is commanded. If the programmer wish

22、es the tool to move to a position one inch above the program zero point, Y1.0 is commanded. The control will automatically determine how many times to rotate each axis drive motor and ball screw to make the axis reach th

23、e commanded destination point . This lets the programmer command axis motion in a very logical manner. Refer t</p><p><b>　　Fig.2</b></p><p><b>　　Fig.3</b></p><

24、p>　　All discussions to this point assume that the absolute mode of programming is used6. The most common CNC word used to designate the absolute mode is G90. In the absolute mode, the end points for all motions will b

25、e specified from the program zero point. For beginners, this is usually the best and easiest method of specifying end points for motion commands. However, there is another way of specifying end points for axis motion.<

26、;/p><p>　　In the incremental mode (commonly specified by G91), end points for motions are specified from the tool's current position, not from program zero. With this method of commanding motion, the progra

27、mmer must always be asking "How far should I move the tool?" While there are times when the incremental mode can be very helpful, generally speaking, this is the more cumbersome and difficult method of specifyi

28、ng motion and beginners should concentrate on using the absolute mode.</p><p>　　Be careful when making motion commands. Beginners have the tendency to think incrementally. If working in the absolute mode (as

29、 beginners should), the programmer should always be asking "To what position should the tool be moved?" This position is relative to program zero, NOT from the tools current position.</p><p>　　Asid

30、e from making it very easy to determine the current position for any command, another benefit of working in the absolute mode has to do with mistakes made during motion commands. In the absolute mode, if a motion mistake

31、 is made in one command of the program, only one movement will be incorrect. On the other hand, if a mistake is made during incremental movements, all motions from the point of the mistake will also be incorrect.</p&g

32、t;<p>　　Assigning program zero</p><p>　　Keep in mind that the CNC control must be told the location of the program zero point by one means or another. How this is done varies dramatically from one CNC

33、 machine and control to another8. One (older) method is to assign program zero in the program. With this method, the programmer tells the control how far it is from the program zero point to the starting position of the

34、machine. This is commonly done with a G92 (or G50) command at least at the beginning of the program and possibly at the </p><p>　　Another, newer and better way to assign program zero is through some form of

35、offset. Refer to fig.4. Commonly machining center control manufacturers call offsets used to assign program zero fixture offsets. Turning center manufacturers commonly call offsets used to assign program zero for each to

36、ol geometry offsets.</p><p>　　Fig. 4 </p><p>　　Flexible manufacturing cells</p><p>　　A flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) can be considered as a flexible manufacturing subsystem.

37、The following differences exist between the FMC and the FMS:</p><p>　　An FMC is not under the direct control of thecentral computer. Instead, instructions from the centralcomputer are passed to the cell co

38、ntroller.</p><p>　　The cell is limited in the number of part families itcan manufacture.</p><p>　　The following elements are normally found in an FMC:</p><p>　　Cell controller</

40、ining operations with parts flowing sequentially between operations. </p><p>　　High speed machining</p><p>　　The term High Speed Machining (HSM) commonly refers to end milling at high rotational

41、 speeds and high surface feeds. For instance, the routing of pockets in aluminum airframe sections with a very high material removal rate1. Over the past 60 years, HSM has been applied to a wide range of metallic and non

42、-metallic workpiece materials, including the production of components with specific surface topography requirements and machining of materials with hardness of 50 HRC and above. With most steel c</p><p>　　Fo

43、r many components, the production process involves a combination of these options and in the case of dies and moulds it also includes time consuming hand finishing. Consequently, production costs can be high and lead tim

44、es excessive.</p><p>　　It is typical in the die and mould industry to produce one or just a few tools of the same design. The process involves constant changes to the design, and because of these changes the

45、re is also a corresponding need for measuring and reverse engineering .</p><p>　　The main criteria is the quality level of the die or mould regarding dimensional, geometric and surface accuracy. If the quali

46、ty level after machining is poor and if it cannot meet the requirements, there will be a varying need of manual finishing work. This work produces satisfactory surface accuracy, but it always has a negative impact on the

47、 dimensional and geometric accuracy.</p><p>　　One of the main aims for the die and mould industry has been, and still is, to reduce or eliminate the need for manual polishing and thus improve the quality and

48、 shorten the production costs and lead times.</p><p>　　Main economical and technical factors for the development of HSM</p><p><b>　　Survival</b></p><p>　　The ever increa

51、ew machining solutions. The aerospace industry has its heat resistant and stainless steel alloys. The automotive industry has different bimetal compositions, Compact Graphite Iron and an ever increasing volume of aluminu

52、m3. The die and mould industry mainly has to face the problem of machining high hardened tool steels, from roughing to finishing.</p><p><b>　　Quality</b></p><p>　　The demand for high

53、er component or product quality is the result of ever increasing competition. HSM, if applied correctly, offers a number of solutions in this area. Substitution of manual finishing is one example, which is especially imp

54、ortant on dies and moulds or components with a complex 3D geometry.</p><p><b>　　Processes</b></p><p>　　The demands on shorter throughput times via fewer setups and simplified flows (

55、logistics) can in most cases, be solved by HSM. A typical target within the die and mould industry is to completely machine fully hardened small sized tools in one setup. Costly and time consuming EDM processes can also

56、be reduced or eliminated with HSM.</p><p>　　Design & development</p><p>　　One of the main tools in today's competition is to sell products on the value of novelty. The average product li

57、fe cycle on cars today is 4 years, computers and accessories 1.5 years, hand phones 3 months... One of the prerequisites of this development of fast design changes and rapid product development time is the HSM technique.

58、 </p><p>　　Complex products</p><p>　　There is an increase of multi-functional surfaces on components, such as new design of turbine blades giving new and optimized functions and features. Earlie

59、r designs allowed polishing by hand or with robots (manipulators). Turbine blades with new, more sophisticated designs have to be finished via machining and preferably by HSM . There are also more and more examples of th

61、rials, holding tools, machine tools, controls and especially CAD/CAM features and equipment, has opened possibilities that must be met with new production methods and techniques5.</p><p>　　Definition of HSM&

62、lt;/p><p>　　Salomon's theory, "Machining with high cutting speeds..." on which, in 1931, took out a German patent, assumes that "at a certain cutting speed (5-10 times higher than in conventi

63、onal machining), the chip removal temperature at the cutting edge will start to decrease..."</p><p>　　Given the conclusion:" ... seems to give a chance to improve productivity in machining with con

64、ventional tools at high cutting speeds..."</p><p>　　Modern research, unfortunately, has not been able to verify this theory totally. There is a relative decrease of the temperature at the cutting edge t

65、hat starts at certain cutting speeds for different materials.</p><p>　　The decrease is small for steel and cast iron. But larger for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The definition of HSM must be based

66、 on other factors.</p><p>　　Given today's technology, "high speed" is generally accepted to mean surface speeds between 1 and 10 kilometers per minute or roughly 3 300 to 33 000 feet per minute

67、. Speeds above 10 km/min are in the ultra-high speed category, and are largely the realm of experimental metal cutting. Obviously, the spindle rotations required to achieve these surface cutting speeds are directly relat

68、ed to the diameter of the tools being used. One trend which is very evident today is the use of very large cutter d</p><p>　　There are many opinions, many myths and many different ways to define HSM.</p&g
