The Impact of the Available Infrastructure on the Electric Vehicle Market in Poland and in EU Countries.

The dynamic development of the automotive market entails the need to understand its characteristics. The purpose of this publication is to indicate the changes in the automotive sector resulting from the approaching electromobility. In order to achieve this goal, the market of electric and conventional vehicles in Poland are discussed.

Technological Methods for Controlling the Elastic-Deformable State in Turning and Grinding Shafts of Low Stiffness.

The article presents original technological methods that allow the improvement of the accuracy of the turning and grinding of elastic-deformable shafts by increasing their stiffness by controlling the state of elastic deformations. In particular, the adaptive control algorithm of the machining process that allows the elimination of the influence of the cutting force vibration and compensates for the bending vibrations is proposed. Moreover, a novel technological system, equipped with the mechanism enabling the regulation of the stiffness and dedicated software, is presented.

An Investigation into the Effect of Electro-Contact Heating in the Machining of Low-Rigidity Thin-Walled Micro-Machine Parts.

Low-rigidity thin-walled parts are components of many machines and devices, including high precision electric micro-machines used in control and tracking systems. Unfortunately, traditional machining methods used for machining such types of parts cause a significant reduction in efficiency and in many cases do not allow obtaining the required accuracy parameters. Moreover, they also fail to meet modern automation requirements and are uneconomical and inefficient.

Control of Machining of Axisymmetric Low-Rigidity Parts.

The specific character of the process of machining of axisymmetric low-rigidity parts makes it difficult to obtain finished products with a required accuracy of shape and dimensions and surface quality. The methods traditionally used to achieve accuracy in the machining of low-rigidity shafts considerably reduce the efficiency of the process, fail to meet modern automation requirements, and are uneconomical and not very productive, which means new methods for controlling the machining of low-rigidity shafts need to be looked for. This article presents a structural and a calculation scheme of a machining system for the turning of low-rigidity parts and a control model based on the second-order Lagrange equation.
