Development of Servo Hydraulics of Veneer Lathe

Diplomityö tehtiin kansainväliseen, mekaanisen puunjalostusteollisuuden koneita, tuotantojärjestelmiä ja tehtaita toimittavaan yritykseen. Diplomityön tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa syitä viilusorvin teräpenkin asemoinnissa esiintyneisiin värähtelyongelmiin ja tutkia ratkaisuja niiden voittamiseksi, sekä sorvausvoimien määrittäminen. Diplomityön teoreettisessa osassa tutustuttiin viilusorvin, erityisesti sen hydraulisten servojärjestelmien rakenteeseen ja toimintaan sekä viilunsorvaukseen. Teräpenkin syötön servojärjestelmää tutkittiin teoreettisesti johtamalla suljetun piirin siirtofunktiot “asema/käsky” ja “virhe/voima” ja tulostamalla niiden taajuusvaste-kuvaajat, joista tutkittiin parametrien vaikutuksia järjestelmän toimintaan. Tulokset vahvistettiin simuloimalla. Todettiin nykyisen järjestelmän värähtelyongelmien johtuvan pääasiassa hydrauliöljyn joustosta sylinterissä. Parannuksina ehdotettiin suurempaa sylinterin halkaisijaa ja viskoosikitkakertoimen suurentamista. Diplomityön kokeellisessa osassa mitattiin viilusorvin servojärjestelmien toimilaitteissa esiintyviä voimia ja niiden perusteella laskettiin varsinaiset sorvausvoimat. Lisäksi tutkittiin teräpenkin syötön ja muiden servojärjestelmien asemointitarkkuutta sorvauksen aikana. Mittauksia varten diplomityössä suunniteltiin ja hankittiin kannettava mittausjärjestelmä.

Software and hardware aspects of a microprocessor controlled lathe

A small lathe has been modified to work under microprocessor control to enhance the facilities which the lathe offers and provide a wider operating range with relevant economic gains. The result of these modifications give better operating system characteristics. A system of electronic circuits have been developed, utilising the latest technology, to replace the pegboard with the associated obsolete electrical components. Software for the system includes control programmes for the implementation of the original pegboard operation and several sample machine code programmes are included, covering a wide spectrum of applications, including diagnostic testing of the control system. It is concluded that it is possible to carry out a low cost retrofit on existing machine tools to enhance their range of capabilities.

Cutting forces and wear analysis of Si3N4 diamond coated tools in high speed machining

Si3N4 tools were coated with a thin diamond film using a Hot-Filament Chemical Vapour Deposition (HFCVD) reactor, in order to machining a grey cast iron. Wear behaviour of these tools in high speed machining was the main subject of this work. Turning tests were performed with a combination of cutting speeds of 500, 700 and 900 m min−1, and feed rates of 0.1, 0.25 and 0.4 mm rot−1, remaining constant the depth of cut of 1 mm. In order to evaluate the tool behaviour during the turning tests, cutting forces were analyzed being verified a significant increase with feed rate. Diamond film removal occurred for the most severe set of cutting parameters. It was also observed the adhesion of iron and manganese from the workpiece to the tool. Tests were performed on a CNC lathe provided with a 3-axis dynamometer. Results were collected and registered by homemade software. Tool wear analysis was achieved by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) provided with an X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) system. Surface analysis was performed by a profilometer.
