Surface Roughness Identification of Cutting Product on Design Aspect Variation of Modular Axis Mechanism

Abstract:

The use of modular component in machine tool structure is an attempt to reduce the production cost. This paper presents the development of machine tool structure for low cutting force using the modular axis mechanism. Single axis mechanism was designed and varied the mover bearing, the length of slideway and the diameter of lead-screw. Cutting test was then performed using the variation. The experimental result shows that the dimension tolerance of linear bearing is the dominant aspect which affect on the product surface roughness. While the use of ball bearing in mover system, the motion looseness can be minimized affects on improving product surface finish.
