The Study of Reliability Modeling of Machining Center Based on Blocksim and Weibull++

Abstract:

There is often more than one failure at the same time when NC machine tools fails, but only one failure data is recorded which leads to that the reliability model of NC machine tools is not rational. In addition, the assumption of “repaired as good as new” for NC machine tools which consists of hydraulic, mechanic and other complicated subsystems is questionable and unreasonable. In this paper a method of reliability modeling using Blocksim and Weibull++ for NC machine tools is proposed. In the end, one example is provided and examined to show its potential applications and benefits. The result shows that the method of reliability modeling is more scientific and more in line with the practice.
