Published: September 2020

An automatic tool-setting and workpiece online detecting system was proposed to study the key technologies of next-generation intelligent vision computerized numerical control (CNC) machines. A computer vision automatic tool-setting system for a CNC machine was set up on the basis of the vision tool-setting principle. A rapid vision calibration method based on the position feedback from the CNC machine was proposed on the basis of the theory of traditional vision system calibration. The coordinate mapping relationship of the image and the CNC machine, the tool-setting mark point on the workpiece, and the tool tip were calibrated. The vision system performance testing and system calibration experiments were performed. Experimental results indicated that the time consumption was 128 ms in image processing. The precision of tool setting and measuring was less than 1 μm. The workpiece positioning and processing online detection function of the system can completely meet the requirements of visual CNC machine application, and the system has wide application prospects.

Utilizing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to mimic biological skin capable of converting external stimuli into optical and electrical signals represents a significant advancement in the development of advanced photonic materials. However, traditional CNC photonic materials typically exhibit static and singular optical properties, with their structural color and mechanical performance being susceptible to water molecules, thereby limiting their practical applications. In this study, CNC-based conductive elastomers with dynamic mechanochromism, fluorescence responsiveness, and enhanced water resistance were developed by incorporating carbon quantum dots (C QDs) and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDES) into CNC photonic films via an in-situ swelling-photopolymerization method.

Enhancing Manufacturing Precision: Leveraging Motor Currents Data of Computer Numerical Control Machines for Geometrical Accuracy Prediction Through Machine Learning.

Direct verification of the geometric accuracy of machined parts cannot be performed simultaneously with active machining operations, as it usually requires subsequent inspection with measuring devices such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical 3D scanners. This sequential approach increases production time and costs. In this study, we propose a novel indirect measurement method that utilizes motor current data from the controller of a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine in combination with machine learning algorithms to predict the geometric accuracy of machined parts in real-time.

The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of the machining parameters on the surface roughness and tool wear during slot milling of a polyurethane block (PUB). In the experiment, the influence of the cutting speed, the feed per tooth and the depth of cut on the roughness and of the milling slot surface and wear of the end mill was analyzed. A three-axis CNC milling machine Emco Concept Mill 55 was used to perform the study.

The EtherCAT fieldbus system is widely applied in different types of computerized numerical control (CNC) machine tools due to its outstanding communication performance. In the field of ultra-precision CNC, some machine tools employ controllers that integrate EtherCAT master functionality to achieve real-time communication with other devices; however, the open-source IgH EtherCAT master has rarely been applied to the CNC systems of ultra-precision machine tools. The feasibility of using the IgH EtherCAT master to meet the communication performance requirements of ultra-precision machine tools remains uncertain; therefore, it is necessary to validate the control effect on precision axes under the application of the IgH EtherCAT master.
