Abstract: Forward and inverse kinematic studies of industrial robots (IR) have been developed and presented in a large number of papers. However, even general mathematic formalization is usually almost correct, (basically following up general Hartenberg - Denavit (H-D) conventions and associated homogenous transformation matrix), only few papers presents kinematic models ready to be directly implemented on a real scale industrial robot or as well able to evaluate kinematics behavior of a real scale IR specific model. That is usually due to some inconsistencies in modeling, the most frequently of these referring on: the incomplete formalization of the full set of constructive and functional parameters (that mandatory need to be considered in case of a specific real IR's model), avoidance of considering IR's specific design features, (as joint dimensions and links dimensions are) leading to wrongly locating the reference frames used for expressing homogenous coordinate transformations, as well as missing of the validation procedures able to check the correctitude of the mathematical models, previously to its implementing in a real scale IR's controller. That is why present paper shows first a completely new approach for IR's forward an inverse kinematics, in terms of IR's analytical modeling by taking into account the full set of IR's constructive and functional parameters of two different IR's models. Then, for both direct and inverse mathematical models complete symbolic formalization and full set of solutions for forward and inverse kinematics are presented for both IR types. In order to study mathematical models applicability on the real scale IR, two specific IR models were studied: an ABB serial-link open chain kinematics IR and a Fanuc serial-link closed chain kinematics IR. Numerical results were verified by cross validation using both analytically calculations results and by mean of a constrained 3D CAD model used to geometrically verify the results. The parametric form of the model elaborated in PTC Mathcad 14 allows a quick reconfiguration for other robot's models having similar configurations. Results can be also used for solving dynamics, path planning and control problems in case of real scale IR.

 

Key words: industrial robot, extended parametric modeling, homogenous transformation matrix, forward kinematics, inverse kinematics.

Abstract: The paper presents the running profile features of the railway wheels, profile representation and optimization possibilities in order to elaborate the part program for processing the wheelsets by turning. The segments of the profile, which require the analysis of the approximation error with line segments and arcs, were highlighted. For this purpose, the research focused on achieving a small number of phrases in the part NC program. The established methodology was applied to one of the standardized profiles. In the paper values of applying this optimization methodology for a curved zone of the profile are presented. The resulting data can be also useful for the system of measuring and control of the profile after processing on the machine tool. Thus, it is easily possible to determine the concordance between the resulted deviations and the allowable ones required by the standards. It is also presented a measurement system that can be integrated in the machine-tool, resulting in a closed-loop measurement and processing system.

 

Key words: railway wheel sets, turning, running profile, parametric equations, part program.

ASPECTES REGARDING OPTIMAL DESIGN OF MACHINE TOOL FEED DRIVES

Abstract: The paper presents some of the main aspects concerning the design of feed drives of machine tools in optimum conditions. Some general considerations about the optimization vector including a set of parameters are presented. Also the optimization vector is analyzed and purpose function discussed, revealing the optimization vector as a favourable one having a limited number of parameters. Starting from the dynamic equation of the feed drives having as final mechanism the screw nut and pinion rack, respectively, the relation of the reduced moment of inertia to the electric motor rotor axis together with the expression of acceleration of the speed are presented. For four cases of transmission between motor and final mechanism in the feed drive, the relations of the optimum values for the optimization parameters (gear ratios, belt transmission ration, screw pitch, pinion diameter) are given. The problem of optimization is treated also by considering the expression of rotor acceleration as a function of two variables (where possible) and by finding its maximum together with the optimum parameters. Finally, the CAD models for the studied cases are used to obtain other information, such as the maximum torque supplied by the electric motor in optimum conditions. All applications are considered for an industrial project of refabrication of a machine for processing wheel set running profiles by turning, especially the feed drives that become specific for numerical control.

 

Key words: feed drive, dynamic equation, moment of inertia, acceleration, parameters, optimization.

Abstract: In this paper some aspects regarding advanced parameterization of a lathe cutting process for a specialized field – rail wheel machining are presented. A method was developed for obtaining an optimum NC file by taking into account: design, machining technology aspects and machine dynamic behavior in cutting process.
