The Analysis and Optimization of Machining Precision Based on Electromechanical Matching in High-Speed Machine Tools

Abstract:

With the development of the high-speed and high-precision CNC machine tools, the interaction between mechanical system and servo drive torque in the feed system becomes more and more serious which affects the surface quality of the workpiece. In this paper, taking a small-sized vertical milling center as the research object, the characteristics of servo torque and mechanical system are analyzed, respectively. Then the influence of electromechanical matching on the tracking fluctuation of the feed system is discussed. Furthermore, aiming at the surface roughness of the workpiece, the influence of the interaction between servo torque and mechanical system on the surface quality of the workpiece is analyzed under different milling ways. Finally, a large number of experiments are carried out to verify the analysis above. At last, the optimization methods of machining precision based on electromechanical matching are put forward. It can be found that in the high-speed machining, the servo torque has lots of harmonics which act on the mechanical system with kinds of modals, leading to the vibration. The surface quality of the workpiece will be deteriorated rapidly when the mode of vibration is consistent with the sensitive direction of machining error. The surface quality of the workpiece can be significantly improved through optimizing the feed velocity and the processing method and realizing the electromechanical matching.
