It may be caused by many factors, such as the geometric error of the transmission parts, the defects on the tooth flank as well as the torsional vibration of running shafts etc. It is very important to locate where the major source is so as to provide a guidance to reduce the transmission error. In this article, the dynamic behavior of the transmission is obtained by using some built-in encoders of a CNC machine tool. Signals obtained from those encoders are the rotating angles of the shafts varying with time. The transmission error can be estimated by using those signals. Some signal processing approaches are established to analyze those signals to locate the error sources. Vibration is one of the most troubling problems encountered in CNC machine tools, this paper also provides an approach for vibration source identification based on the information obtained from the built-in encoders.","PeriodicalId":273573,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125472821","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}

Most of these parts are highly sensitive to mechanical contact and to applied forces. As a consequence common handling tools proofed to be insufficient. Due to this fact new gripping principles are an urgent demand. Especially a new and upcoming contactless handling principle based on ultrasonic vibrations offers great potentials. This paper shows how the handling technology can be designed for different parts using an expert system, which consists of two subsystems, a neural network and a fuzzy logic model. The first one stores the characteristic process parameters of individual gripper designs and interpolates them for similar grippers. The second one uses the existing hypothesis and expert knowledge in order to estimate the part stability for each parameter combination. In this paper the implementation of the fuzzy logic model is introduced.","PeriodicalId":273573,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123278620","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 bearing and transferring of the initial preload and the operating force are mainly dependent on the stiffness of both the bolts and their corresponding members. To obtain the deformation mechanism of bolted members, a systematic study on the prediction of the member stiffness and the characterization of the interface contact conditions is developed in this paper. Firstly, a parameterization process is performed to relate all the geometric dimensions of each bolted joint with the corresponding bolt diameter, so the corresponding dimensionless dimensions can be conveniently gotten by dividing the dimensions by the bolt diameter. Based on this, a novel and efficient finite element (FE) model is constructed to simulate the behaviors of bolted joints with different geometrical sizes and material properties. After characterizing the member stiffness, the interface contact characteristics of bolted joints including contact pressure and the dimensionless contact diameter are further identified through special FE post-processing efforts. Finally, a series of semi-apex angles are obtained through an inverse calculation approach in which an author-modified empirical formula is adopted. The calculation results based on the proposed method may be considered as a simple and practical guideline for the design and assembly processes of bolted joints.","PeriodicalId":273573,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116750700","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}

Whereas, the accompanied disadvantage is the increased motion control error, especially the motion control accuracy in high-speed and ultra high-speed machining. Based on the actual contour measurement and the study of different control strategies for improving contour machining accuracy, this paper proposes an error compensation method for multi-axis machining. To be specific, a contour error model with different input parameters of the machining process needs to be built, and afterwards to be implemented into an open computer numerical control (CNC) system for real time calculation and compensation. Employing a 2-aix machine tool and base on aforementioned method, circular processing experiments with feed rates ranging from 0.5m/min to 10m/min and radiuses ranging from 10mm to 60mm are performed. The range of average radius error is reduced from 0.1mm to 0.006mm. The results demonstrate that high contour accuracy can be maintained even at high speed machining.","PeriodicalId":273573,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114353829","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}

We developed a system to move a probe along 3 axes. The tip end of the manipulator could be shaped into a suitable shape for a target. Using the system, we carried out three strength tests of micro objects, such as measuring mechanical properties of nanowire, shear strength of fixed abrasive grains and mechanical strength of chromosomes.

The stability radius reflects the smallest shift of customer demand that destabilizes the network and is used as a measure for robustness.
