DESIGN CONSIDERATION

 Many design changes are required for dedicated CNC


machine tools. These are due to
 Requirement of maximum output.
 Large set-up time in conventional machine tool
 Operator should be highly skilled in conventional
machine tool
FEATURES OF CNC MACHINE

• Stored program
• Editing facilities
• Stored pattern
• Sub-program
• Enhanced cutter compensation
• Optimized machining condition
• Communication facilities
• Program proving facilities
• Diagnostics
• Management information
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF CNC

• Fabrication and welding


• Press work
• Inspection and measurement
• Assembly and material handling
PROBLEMS AND CONTROLS

1. Accuracy:
• Time accuracy is achieved by monitoring and
controlling the position of the actual cutting edge
relative to the established datum.
• The accuracy of the servo-control system depends on
a) Accuracy of measuring device used to monitor the
position of the machine slide
b) How this measuring device is utilized.
c) Any mechanical inaccuracies present within the total
system.
2. Resolution:
• The smallest dimension that the control system can
recognize and act upon.
3. repeatability:
• The component will be considered “correct” if its
dimension lie anywhere within this tolerance band.
• If a certain slide position is commanded many times in
succession, there will be a difference or scatter in the
position actually taken up by the slides.
• This scatter is a measure of repeatability.
• Repeatability of a system will always be better than its
accuracy.
4. Instability:
• Instability is the tendency of the system to oscillation
about a desired position.
• Instability should be a function of closed loop control
system.
5. Response:
• The response of a control system is the time lag
between the application of the input signal and the
controlled condition reaching the desired value.
6. Damping:
• To counter the effect of excessive overshoot or
undershoot and hence to minimise hunting damping may
be introduced into the system.
7. Control engg.:
• Machine tool control:
i) Control of spindle speed:
Spindle drive should be:
a) Capable of supplying a wide range of spindle speeds
to accommodate difference w/p size and materials.
b) Speed range should be infinitely variable between
upper and lower limit to maintain constant cutting
speeds.
c) High power output should be available.
d) Small and compact
DC MOTORS:
• Used in majority of CNC machine tools.
• Drive arrangement may be direct from the spindle or
indirect via belt or geared transmission.
2. Control of slide motion………………………..
• In open loop control system, a stepper motor is
employed to get accurate control of both movement and
velocity.
SELECTION OF HARD METAL TOOLING
1) Insert clamping system:
• Wedge, screw and pin type clamping offer a plain top
surface for unhampered chip flow, maximum
accessibility and maximum rigidity. Top clamped inserts
offer robust and stable clamping
• WC inserts can be brazed …….. Shanks, but it
eliminates indexing property of inserts. Ceramic inserts
can’t be brazed, since they are non metallic, they can
be bonded by adhesives.
2. Tool holder type: depends on
a) Shape of w/p to be machined
b) Type of machining operation whether internal or
external.
c) Tool access conideration
3. Insert type:
Choose according to no. of factors:
a) Operation to be performed
b) Tool holder type
c) Contour shapes required on the component
d) Features such as radii, grooves, chamfers, threads
etc.
e) Chip breaking ability and capability.
f) Cutting geometry
round> square insert> triangular >
But square and triangular are versatile.
g) Continuous and intermittent cutting strength
h) Vibration tendencies
4. Insert size:
depends on
a) Depth of cut
b) Length of cutting edge required
c) Roughing or finish machining, (roughing needs a large
nose radius)
d) Likely cutting faces:
• In general cutting faces should not exceed than 2/3rd of
cutting edge length.
5) Insert grade:
a) w/p material
b) Insert grade determines machining data and the
speeds and feeds to be used.
