2024, (3): 16-21. doi: 10.19287/j.mtmt.1005-2402.2024.03.002
Abstract:
As the last process of precision machining of complex curved blades, the processing quality of abrasive belt grinding directly affects the service performance and life of the blades. The traditional six-degree-of-freedom robot with multi-joint tandem connection has obvious weak rigidity, and its deformation resistance is not good when clamping large blades at the end. For this reason, a 4+2 degree of freedom blade grinding robot system is designed and developed. Research of complex surface blade grinding trajectory planning method is carried out with the self-developed grinding robot system. First of all, the kinematics model of the robot is established based on the D-H method. The forward and inverse solutions of robot kinematics are given. A trajectory planning method is proposed that comprehensively considers the interference between polishing tools and workpiece curvature, the influence of tool path spacing and trajectory point density on residual height. A collaborative motion model of two units is established to ensure the machining implementation of the blades. Finally, the correctness of the obtained grinding trajectory is verified through numerical control program simulation of the blade polishing trajectory.

2024, (3): 31-35. doi: 10.19287/j.mtmt.1005-2402.2024.03.004
Abstract:
During high-speed cutting, the changes in surface properties and subsurface stresses of coated cutting tools directly affect their cutting performance. High speed turning experiments were conducted on GH2132 high-temperature alloy using PVD-TiAlN hard alloy coated tools to study the changes in tool surface properties during the cutting process. Raman spectroscopy was used to measure the residual stress distribution on the sub surface of coated tools at different wear stages. The results show that during the complete service life of the cutting tool, the residual compressive stress and surface microhardness both show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The residual stress in the coating is mainly residual compressive stress, which gradually increases along the depth direction. However, when the wear reaches the later stage of stable wear, the residual compressive stress of the coating decreases near the substrate. During high-speed dry cutting, the tool has the best surface performance and the maximum residual compressive stress on the subsurface during the early stage of stable wear. At this time, the tool has the best cutting performance and slow tool wear.

Abstract:
The structural performance of the column is the key to the stability of the machine tool. In order to improve the dynamic and static characteristics of the column while reducing its mass, we start from the acquisition of the machine structure model, collect the point cloud data of the machine parts through 3D scanning, and then convert it into a solid model by using the inverse modelling technology, and then use the finite element simulation to solve the key indexes of the column and complete the optimization. In terms of model acquisition, 2D analysis is used to compare the deviation between the solid profile of the column and the point cloud data, and the overall average deviation is measured to be −0.050 9 mm, which meets the test requirements. In terms of structural optimisation, multi-objective topology optimisation is used to quickly determine the overall layout of the column structure, and further dimensional optimisation is used to reduce the impact of increased total deformation on the machining accuracy of the machine. Under the condition that the total deformation is basically unchanged, the 1st-order intrinsic frequency of the column is effectively increased by 16%, and the mass is reduced by 5.3%. This method integrates the use of reverse engineering and finite element simulation, provides model parameters obtained in reverse for finite element analysis, increases the engineering reliability of structural optimisation, provides new ideas for product improvement and redesign, accelerates the efficiency of new product development, and saves design and manufacturing costs.

Abstract:
The copper electroplating cathode titanium plate, being an essential constituent of the copper electroplating process, and its surface quality significantly impacts the electrolytic efficiency, quality, and lifespan of the titanium plates themselves. In response to this question, a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly surface treatment for the titanium plate is employed, utilizing ultrasonic synergistic cleaning technology with a silicon carbide suspension. The optimal cleaning parameters were investigated through an aluminum foil corrosion method, and an analysis of the synergistic effects during the cleaning process and their underlying mechanisms was conducted. Surface cleanliness, micro-morphology and wettability of titanium plates were characterized and evaluated by SEM+EDS and contact angle measurement. The results showed that the best cleaning effect was achieved at a distance of 78 mm from the transducer, a silicon carbide particle mass fraction of 0.05%, a particle size of 70 nm, a neutral pH, and a temperature of 55°C. The synergistic effect of silicon carbide suspension as a cleaning medium can significantly increase the cleaning efficiency and improve the surface quality of titanium plates. Comparison before and after cleaning shows that synergistic cleaning can effectively remove the contaminants on the surface of titanium plate, improve the surface cleanliness and wettability, and restore the surface micro-morphology and metallic luster of titanium plate. The study provides a reference basis for optimizing the cleaning process of titanium plate.

Abstract:
Molding shrinkage significantly impacts the precision of selective laser sintering (SLS) components, with process parameters playing a critical role in material sintering and shrinkage deformation. Enhancing molding performance quality holds paramount importance. To curtail testing costs in the optimization of process parameters for SLS-molded parts, we introduce the CSO-LSSVM molding accuracy prediction model. The model’s design rationale is multifaceted: first, we comprehensively enhance the convergence accuracy and optimization speed of the snake optimizer (SO) through a trio of improvement strategies—Sine mapping, nonlinear switching factors, and pinhole imaging reverse learning. Subsequently, we seamlessly integrate the termed chaotic multi-strategy enhanced snake optimizer (CSO) with the least square support vector machine (LSSVM) to fine-tune pivotal kernel function parameters, thereby augmenting predictive accuracy and generalization capabilities. To affirm the validity and superiority of the CSO-LSSVM model, we leverage Matlab software for comparative analysis against LSSVM, BP (back propagation) neural network, and extreme learning machine (ELM) models using authentic datasets. Results unequivocally establish the method's heightened predictive accuracy, substantiated by error evaluation metrics: root mean square error of 0.546 2, mean absolute percentage error of 9.487 7, and mean absolute error of 0.401 7, respectively. This model facilitates the provisioning of optimal process parameters for SLS molding, thereby offering effective processing guidance.

Abstract:
Torispherical structures are one of the main head or bottom cover parts of special equipment such as pressure vessels. Conventional nondestructive testing methods are not quite applicable for online damages inspection at the head or bottom part of large storage tanks in-service.

Abstract:
Because the calculation of parts manufacturing cost relies too much on traditional manual experience, a feature-based method of parts manufacturing cost calculation is proposed to improve the ability of parts manufacturing to respond to dynamic demand changes. By classifying the processing characteristics, the main factors affecting the manufacturing cost were analyzed, the manufacturing cost model of plate parts was defined, and the manufacturing resource database was established. According to the key information of material cost and processing cost, the processing time calculation method based on processing characteristics is deeply analyzed, and the processing cost is determined.

Abstract:
Due to the inability of traditional workshop equipment operating status prediction to effectively utilize historical data for learning, limited real-time response ability, and difficulty in achieving good results in complex scheduling environments, a workshop equipment operating status prediction model combining digital twin and k-nearest neighbor algorithm is proposed. A digital twin model of workshop equipment entities in the information space is constructed, and then, a mapping relationship between equipment entities and models is also established, in order to obtain real-time feature data, namely equipment operating status feature data. The k-nearest neighbor algorithm is used to calculate the euclidean distance between the real-time feature data and the historical data, that is, to calculate the similarity between the current operating status of the equipment and the known historical status, and finally, based on the historical operating status data of the equipment corresponding to the first k distances, the current operating status of the equipment is predicted. The essence of this model is to collect real-time data from digital twin, obtain characteristic data of designated equipment operating status, and use k-nearest neighbor algorithm to predict the real-time operating status of equipment. Compared to previous studies, the contribution of this study is to improve the accuracy of equipment real-time operating status prediction.If digital twin and k-nearest neighbor algorithm are combined with relevant algorithms with self-learning ability, the predictive performance of the model will be better.
