A REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MACHINE TOOLS INTO COMPLEX INTELLIGENT MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents an analytical review of the development of machine tools (MT) into complex mechatronic systems. The basic periods, inventions and achievements in their historical development are marked which are represented in seven stages depending on the most essential changes for each period. Other fundamental and important discoveries and inventions are given along with the immediate achievements and changes which have affected the development of MT. A diagram of the changes in the relationship between the MT mechanical, electronic and software components is presented depending on the rate of development of the different stages as well as an opinion is shared on the conceptual schema of the environment of a future intelligent MT.

IN-PROCESS CONTROL WITH A SENSORY TOOL HOLDER TO AVOID CHATTER
Hydro-, steam- and gas- turbines, aircraft components or moulds are milled parts with complex geometries and high requirements for surface quality. The production of such industry components often necessitates the use of...
COMPARISON OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC LASER BASED POSITIONING METHODS FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF CNC MACHINES
In the paper we compare the laser based measurements of linear parameters of numerically controlled machines. A new dynamic method of measuring machine positioning is described and compared with the widely used static m...
AUTONOMOUS MACHINING – RECENT ADVANCES IN PROCESS PLANNING AND CONTROL
While autonomous driving has come close to reality over the recent years, machining is still characterised by many manual tasks and prone to costly errors. In this article, an overview is given about the potential of au...
DETECTION OF WEAR PARAMETERS USING EXISTING SENSORS IN THE MACHINES ENVIRONMENT TO REACH HIGHER MACHINE PRECISION
This paper presents methods to plan predictive maintenance for precision assembly tasks. One of the key aspects of this approach is handling the abnormalities during the development phase, i.e. before and during process...
ENHANCING LASER STEP DIAGONAL MEASUREMENT BY MULTIPLE SENSORS FOR FAST MACHINE TOOL CALIBRATION
The volumetric performance of machine tools is limited by the remaining relative deviation between desired and real tool tip position. Being able to predict this deviation at any given functional point enables methods fo...
