The machining accuracy of CNC machine tools is significantly affected by the thermal deformation of the feed system. The ball screw feed system is extensively used as a transmission component in precise CNC machine tools, responsible for converting rotational motion into linear motion or converting torque into repetitive axial force. This study presents a multi-physical coupling analysis model for the ball screw feed system, considering internal thermal generation, intending to reduce the influence of screw-induced thermal deformation on machining accuracy. This model utilizes the Fourier thermal conduction law and the principle of energy conservation. By performing calculations, the thermal source and thermal transfer coefficient of the ball screw feed system are determined. Moreover, the thermal characteristics of the ball screw feed system are effectively analyzed through the utilization of finite element analysis. To validate the proposed analysis model for the ball screw feed system, a dedicated test platform is designed and constructed specifically to investigate the thermal characteristics of the ball screw feed system in CNC machine tools. By selecting specific CNC machine tools as the subjects of investigation, a comprehensive study is conducted on the thermal characteristics of the ball screw feed system. The analysis entails evaluating parameters like temperature field distribution, thermal deformation, thermal stress, and thermal equilibrium state of the ball screw feed system. By comparing the simulation results from the analysis model with the experimental test results, the study yields the following findings: The maximum absolute error between the simulated and experimental temperatures at each measuring point of the feed system components is 2.4◦C, with a maximum relative error of 8.7%. The maximum absolute error between the simulated and experimental temperatures at the measuring point on the lead screw is 2.0◦C, with a maximum relative error of 6.8%. The thermal characteristics obtained from the steady-state thermal analysis model of the feed system exhibit a prominent level of agreement with the experimental results. The research outcomes presented in this paper provide valuable insights for the development of ball screw feed systems and offer guidance for the thermal design of machine tools.
Advancing climate change, tense world markets, and political pressure steadily increase the demand for resource-optimized production solutions. Herby, the positioning of the raw material in the machine tool is an important factor that has received little attention. Traditionally, this is done centrally on the machine table, which leads to locally increased wear of the feed axis. Furthermore, positioning directly influences energy consumption during machining. Consequently, the longest possible component utilization through optimum wear and energy optimization creates a direct conflict of objectives. To solve this conflict, this paper presents an automated approach for software-defined workpiece positioning and NC-Code optimization regarding the axis-specific energy consumption and the spindle condition of ball screws. An approach for mapping the energy consumption and the directly measured spindle condition is presented. Both represent input variables of the cost function. Approaches for the optimization of the position as well as for the practical implementation are proposed.
In order to revise the deviation caused by ignoring the dynamic character of fault propagation in traditional fault propagation path identification methods, a method based on the maximum occurrence probability is proposed to identify the key fault propagation path. Occurrence probability of fault propagation path is defined by dynamic importance, dynamic fault propagation probability and fault rate. Taking the fault information of CNC machine tools whichsubject to Weibull distribution as an example, this method has been proven to be reasonable through comparative analysis. Result shows that the key fault propagation path of CNC machine tools is not unique, but changes with time. Before 1000 hours, key fault propagation path is electrical component (E) to mechanical component (M); after 1000 hours, key fault propagation path is auxiliary component (A) to mechanical component (M). This change should be taken into account when developing maintenance strategies and conducting reliability analysis.

Osie połączone w układ bramowy, czyli takie, w których ruch jednej osi liniowej napędzany jest dwoma silnikami, odgrywają ważną rolę w różnych zastosowaniach, takich jak plotery frezujące i obrabiarki CNC, montaż, aplikacje pick-and-place i wiele innych. Wymagają one ścisłej koordynacji ruchu obu silników. Nawet małe rozbieżności we współbieżnym przemieszczaniu bramy przez silniki mogą powodować opory ruchu oraz naprężenia mechaniczne układu zmniejszające dokładność. Skutkując nierównomiernym ruchem, prowadzącym nawet do całkowitego zatrzymania bramy. Wyspecjalizowane napędy z wbudowanymi funkcjami kontroli ruchu układów bramowych mogą zapobiegać tym problemom przy jednoczesnym usprawnieniu procesu projektowania i uruchamiania układów wieloosiowych.

This paper presents a comparison of the impact of the programming methods of a CNC miller on the machining effects. As a part of the study, the test samples were made of the EN AW-2024 aluminium alloy. The CNC machining programs compared were developed with two programming methods: by inputting the CNC machining program directly from the CNC miller's control panel (machine level programming) and in a CAM software environment (CAM programming). The machining effect indicators adopted included: machining time, surface quality, and dimensional deviation of specific geometrical features. A measurement of the machining times revealed than the CAM programming reduced the machining time up to 20% from the machining time of the machine level programming. A conclusion stands valid that CNC machining programs developed in the CAM software environment are more efficient than CNC programming directly with the CNC miller control panel, most likely due to the machining path optimisation in CAM. In addition, given the experimental test results, it was found that smaller machined errors were also obtained for CAM programming. To conclude, the comparative analysis revealed that CAM programming provided better machining results than the machine level programming.

Law requires from employers to assess occupational risk in workplaces. A well-executed occupational risk assessment promotes the improvement of working conditions and reduces a negative impacts on employees’ health and life. Employers by conducting occupational risk assessment not only meet legal requirements but also benefit from it in two ways. They eliminate loss of an enterprise connected with employees’ absence, and they also decrease the probability of high compensation pay due to situations that have a destructive influence on the employees' health. However, in order to benefit from such actions, firstly, it is necessary to select a risk assessment method properly, then to apply it and implement preventive measures. The paper presents the results of the occupational risk assessment carried out on the example of a CNC machine operator by means three-stage methods in accordance with the PN-N-18001, PHA and Risc Score. Despite the subjectivity of the assessment, there were differences in the results. Thus, it is advisable to choose a risk assessment method skilfully, for example by comparing several similar methods.
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki zamodelowanych, za pomocą metody elementów skończonych, odkształceń cieplnych frezarki CNC wynikające z pracy jej napędu głównego. Omówiono model cieplny obrabiarki, jej model mechaniczny oraz procedury umożliwiające obliczenie warunków granicznych dla wspomnianych modeli. Celem publikacji jest ukazanie wpływu, jaki wywierają poszczególne warunki brzegowe przyjmowane w toku modelowania na wyniki końcowe analiz odkształceń cieplnych. Proces szacowania poszczególnych warunków brzegowych jest czasochłonny, szczególnie w przypadku braku gotowych aplikacji umożliwiających ich obliczenie. Ponadto wymaga on często specjalistycznej wiedzy. Dlatego możliwość pominięcia niektórych zjawisk lub dopuszczenia większego marginesu błędu ich oszacowania, bez znaczącego pływu na wyniki końcowe analizy, jest korzystna dla konstruktorów oceniających wartości odkształceń cieplnych obrabiarek precyzyjnych za pomocą metody MES.

The paper presents results of FEM analysis of CNC milling machine thermal error arising during its spindle work. The thermal and mechanical model were presented. Procedures allowing to estimate the border conditions were described. The paper aims to assess the influence of relevant border conditions on FEM analysis results. The process of evaluating the border conditions requires specific knowledge and is time-consuming, especially if no dedicated software is accessible. Therefore possibility to neglect insignificant phenomena or to widen allowed estimation error margin, without noticeably influencing analysis result, is valuable for designers evaluating thermal errors by means of FEM analysis.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza zmian poziomu ciśnienia akustycznego w strefie prac operatora, które jest emitowane przez wrzeciono obrabiarki CNC pracujące bez obciążenia z różnymi prędkościami obrotowymi oraz podczas skrawania z prędkością 10 000 obr/min. Istotą przeprowadzonych badań było sprawdzenie, czy poziom hałasu emitowanego przez obrabiarkę CNC nie przekracza wartości dopuszczalnej. Wykonano je zgodnie z zapisem badania hałasu podanym w normie ISO 230-5 oraz z wykorzystaniem norm ISO 3744 i ISO 11203. Badania pokazały, że podczas głębszej obróbki materiału pojawiają się dźwięki o charakterze impulsowych. Poziom dźwięku wzrasta wówczas do wartości 92,2 dB, a więc na stanowisku pracy następuje przekroczenie dopuszczalnego poziomu dźwięku. Dla różnych prędkości obrabiarki poziom dźwięku A utrzymuje się na stałym poziomie: 71÷72 dB(A) – dla prędkości do 5000 obr/min, 80 dB(A) – dla wyższych prędkości.

The subject of the study was to analyze sound pressure levels at the operator work area, emitted by a CNC machine tool working in different speeds of spindle and during process of cutting with a speed of 10,000 rev / min. The essence of the study was to find out if the noise level emitted by the CNC machine tool exceeds the acceptable sound level. The study was carried out according to the specified standards in documents ISO 230-5, ISO 3744 and ISO 11203 [set of standards]. Obtained results indicate the appearance of an impulse sound at a deeper treatment of the material-deeper cutting causes the appearance of impulse noise. Under such conditions, the sound level rises to the value of 92.2 dB, which indicates a sound level that exceeds the acceptable sound measure levels. A sound level for different speeds of the machine is maintained at a constant level row 71/72 dB(A) up to 5000 rev / min, and increases for higher speeds of the machine tool to the value of 80 dB(A).
