Especially for the components that work with external members, this operation needs to assure surface and geometric quality. In that case, the correct definition of working parameters will directly contribute to the quality of component. Aim of the current research was to analyse the form error and the roughness of workpieces submitted to internal turning process using boring bars in long overhangs with three different internal tools (steel, carbide and antivibrating tool). For the experiments, heat-treated DIN EN 1.2842 (ISO 90MnCrV8) steel with 58 HRC of hardness was submitted to boring process using CBN (cubic boron nitride) inserts, and a boring bar with the most possible rigid clamping system (Easy Fix). The workpiece roughness and circularity were measured using a profilometer and a form error measuring machine. The measurements provided the data to identify the boring bar levels of stability, and the workpiece micro and macro geometric errors. The experiments allowed to conclude that, for all toolbars, the evaluated errors kept constant with increasing L/D ratio during stable clamping conditions, without any vibration. On the other hand, higher values of overhangs, limited to L/D>4.25 for steel tool, can cause serious damages in the cutting system if the antivibration tools or the carbide will be not used.","PeriodicalId":21013,"journal":{"name":"Research Papers Faculty of Materials Science and Technology Slovak University of Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"21 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85139093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The components, in this case, were the upper jaws (maxillary teeth) of two individual patients (Tzina, Dimitris), which were obtained by intraoral 3D scanning. Patient Tzina at the time of intra-oral scanning was 27 years old and Dimitris was 23 years old. The method of 3D printing was the FDM, and the material used in this research was thermoplastic high impact polystyrene (HIPS). Three different percentages of infill density were set, 60%, 80%, and 100%. For each setting, there were five specimens (thirty 3D printed dental models in total, 15 for Tzina and 15 for Dimitris). After the 3D printing, the models were digitized and measured by GOM ATOS II Triple Scan MV 170 optical 3D scanner and compared with the values of the initial digital models. Then the dental master models underwent the process of Essix-aligners formation (single press) and were rescanned and measured again. The outcome of this research was to examine if the dental master models remain dimensionally accurate after these processes, and which infill provides the optimal and medically approved accuracy.","PeriodicalId":21013,"journal":{"name":"Research Papers Faculty of Materials Science and Technology Slovak University of Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"10 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82428236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Virtual commissioning allows the PLC control program to be tested and debugged on a created digital model of the machine, called a digital twin of the machine. Just this solution can simulate and optimize the automated system design itself without the need to have real hardware (PLC, automation elements, or the whole machine/equipment). Virtual commissioning offers an effective alternative to reduce the risks and effort of real commissioning of the machine. This makes it possible to reduce the time to market and increase flexibility, efficiency, and quality. Virtual commissioning in a single-control system is a simple solution; we can either use the Software-in-the-Loop method with emulated PLC control, simulated behavioural model, and co-simulation model or Hardware-in-the-Loop method with real controller. The problem appears when we have various types of controller, including an industrial robot controller. The paper deals with the theoretical background and partial outlines of solutions in the use of different types of the control system, if interconnections or emulators for different control systems are available. The recommended solution is to use a separate solution for the 3D simulation of the robotic system and an independent solution for the behavioural model, which will be tested in the future.","PeriodicalId":21013,"journal":{"name":"Research Papers Faculty of Materials Science and Technology Slovak University of Technology","volume":"12 3","pages":"45 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72614764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the samples were scanned using scanned using Zeiss METROTOM CT scanner. Results were analysed via CAE inspection tools. The main aim was to compare the shape and flatness of the scanned specimens to the nominal models. Results showed that iron-based additives of this vol.% had no significant effect on shape accuracy of produced parts.
