Research on reusable and configurable intelligent machining system

To improve production rates and the economic benefits, process parameters need to be monitored and adjusted automatically in the machining. At present, it is mainly concentrated on the study of the algorithms about tool wearing and tool breakage, and theory modeling of interrelated models in the processing machining. The monitoring systems independent of CNC are also investigated to realize the status monitoring on external parts, which result in lower integration and difficulty in operation. Consequently, a modular and configurable machining system of three axis milling is established, with the ability of constant cutting force, which is a part of CNC system and can coordinate with traditional CNC to implement the function of integration state monitoring. With this system it can realize the real time status monitoring in machining, and improve the work-piece's quality and efficiency by controlling the constant cutting force between the work-piece and the tool.
