Non-Stationary Signal Purification and Rotor Axis Orbit Feature Extraction under Machine Tool Spindle Cutting Process

Abstract:

Rotor axis orbit measurement of the spindle under cutting process is the important basis of cutting quality judgment and spindle fault diagnosis. In the cutting process, the non-stationary characteristics of vibration measurement signal of spindle rotor has been particularly outstanding, under such circumstances it is difficult to draw spindle rotor axis orbit accurately. To solve this problem, a new method using EEMD (Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition) and harmonic wavelet is put forward to realize non-stationary signal purification and rotor axis orbit feature extraction under machine tool spindle cutting process. In order to filter out the high frequency noise of the measurement, the EEMD method has been used, in addition that the characteristics of the original signal is preserved well. However the signal after EEMD filter still contains a variety of frequency components, in order to solve it, the harmonic wavelet method is used to decompose the signal into several signals according to the different frequency components, through the signal reconstruction achieve rotor axis orbit feature extraction. Using this method, the machined workpiece has been cut under the speed of 12000r/min, the vibration of spindle has been measured and processed. The experiment results show that the new method can effectively reduce the high frequency interference noise signal, and also apparently the rotor axis orbit obtained is more clearly than the original rotor axis orbit.
