Abstract

Retrofitting is a sustainable approach to improving the capabilities and extending the life of aging machine tools. Reusing the mechanical construction and replacing only the control electronics and software is a viable option to upgrade an aging machine tool to a cutting-edge level. During the last decades, the evolution of machine tools has focused on developing computer numerical control (CNC) rather than on mechanical construction. Retrofitting the CNC enables Industry 4.0 connectivity and improved usability sustainably, preserving finite raw material resources and reducing carbon emissions created during the casting process of heavy blank parts for physically large machine tools.

This publication presents methods to retrofit machine tools using open-source CNC software and a feasibility study after seven years of operation. Our study highlights retrofitting as more profitable than repairing an aging CNC and compares the sustainability of retrofitting or replacing the aging machine tool with a new unit. In conclusion, retrofitting enables sustainability, connectivity, and accuracy comparable to modern machine tools. Retrofitting also paves the way for using artificial intelligence to monitor and adapt to tool wear, chatter, and surface roughness.

改造可实现可持续性、工业 4.0 连接性和更高的可用性
改造是提高老旧机床性能和延长其使用寿命的一种可持续方法。重复使用机械结构,仅更换控制电子元件和软件,是将老旧机床升级到最先进水平的可行方案。在过去几十年中,机床的发展重点是开发计算机数控系统(CNC),而不是机械结构。本出版物介绍了使用开源数控软件改造机床的方法,以及运行七年后的可行性研究。我们的研究强调了改造比维修老化的数控系统更有利可图,并比较了改造或用新设备替换老化机床的可持续性。总之,改造可实现与现代机床相当的可持续性、连接性和精确性。改造还为利用人工智能监测和适应刀具磨损、颤动和表面粗糙度铺平了道路。
