Study Regarding the Optimal Milling Parameters for Finishing 3D Printed Parts from ABS and PLA Materials
2018
Abstract In this paper we proposed to identify the optimum milling parameter required for finishing processes performed on 3Dprinted parts from ABS and PLA materials. We have identified the optimum milling parameters for a constant spindle speed of 3500 rot/min for face milling and profile contouring operations with different tools diameters. The study was performed on 3D printed specimens from ABS and PLA materials.
Selecting between CNC milling, robot milling and DMLS processes using a combined AHP and fuzzy approach
2017
Abstract Recent advancements in manufacturing technology allow now a much wider selection of machining processes. Milling with industrial robots or additive manufacturing could now replace traditional milling performed on CNC machine-tools, for certain applications. This work presents a decision-making process for selecting between CNC milling, robot milling and a process of additive manufacturing (DMLS) for a certain class of parts. The AHP method was used for selecting between the three variants of manufacturing processes. The criteria used for AHP were divided into crisp ones and criteria described by linguistic variables. For the last ones, fuzzy inference systems were built to extract …
Considerations regarding the use of technological equipment for indexed and continuous multi-axes machining
2017
CNC machine-tools are becoming more and more complex, with regards of kinematic capabilities, driving systems, HMI interfaces and controllers. Consequently, the prices of these machines are also increasing, being directly linked with the machine characteristics. Multi-axes kinematic is nowadays seen as the possibility of controlling the motion of the machine elements not only on translational axes, but also on rotational ones. There are mainly two types of CNC milling machines with multi-axes kinematic: indexed 3+1 and/or 3+2 axes and continuous 4 and/or 5 axes machines. This work will present some aspects regarding indexed multi-axis and continuous multi-axes machining.
CNC Milling Machine Simulation in Engineering Education
2012
In this work an effective simulator for a CNC milling machine is presented. It has been developed in EMC2, a free Opens Source NC software running in Linux environment, developed by an international community. It can be installed on a common PC and is able to: control a CNC machine; read part programs; display the tool path; send instructions to the CNC machine for the cutting process. In this work a new feature has been implemented, which can both display a 3D model of the machine and simulate all the motions of the movable parts of a real 3 axis end milling machine. This simulator lets the users not only verify the toolpath but also detect any possible collision by using the very computer…
Determination of Technological Forces in the Incremental Forming Process
2013
The paper presents a joint theoretical and experimental approach to determine the technological forces within the asymmetric single point incremental forming ASPIF process, based upon a theoretical model, image processing and data acquisition. The first step of this approach was to develop a theoretical model of the forces within the process, based upon the model of a mechanical feed drive of a CNC milling machine. By means of this model, relationships between the resistant torque at the motor spindle level and the technological force on the movement axis could be determined. Using an image processing method, which allowed the user to extract information within the machines operator panel a…
Researches regarding the reducing of burr size by optimising the cutting parameters on a CNC milling machine
2017
This paper presents some experimental researches regarding burrs dimensions reduction that appear after the milling process together with an approach to reduce or eliminate the burrs resulted after this process. In order to reduce burrs dimensions, the milling process was executed with different cutting parameters and strategies then the results were evaluated.
Theoretical and Experimental Researches Regarding Multilayer Materials Used for Incremental Forming
2014
Although this represents a relatively recent development in the industry, the composite multilayer sheets are currently encountered in almost all industrial domains, due to the density, mechanical strength and energy absorption properties that are higher than those of the blanks realised from a single material. These materials are useful especially in domains such a the automotive industry, where the vehicles must fulfil simultaneously conditions of increased passenger safety, increased comfort, increase of the loading capacity in conditions of a reduced energy consumption. First of all the paper shows the types of multilayer sheets and their areas and areas of use, then the paper analyzes …
