Abstract: The aluminum and its alloys are materials which found a large extend in machine building. For various reasons, the workpieces made of aluminum and aluminum alloys are sometimes subjects of blasting operations. Under the action of the abrasive particles directed to the workpieces surfaces, phenomena of plastic deformation, and material removing could develop. As result, the surface roughness changes; the paper presents some considerations concerning such phenomena generated at the impact of the abrasive particles with the workpiece material. Experimental researches were also developed in order to better understand the influence exerted by certain operating factors on the parameters of surface roughness. On the basis of the experimental researches, empirical mathematical models were determined and discussed.

 

Key words: aluminum, sand blasting, phenomena, surface roughness, experimental research, empirical mathematical models.

Abstract: The aim of this contribution was to assess the impact of cutting speed in grinding quality of the test samples surface layer of heat-and chemically processed steel. To fulfil these objectives experimental and computational methods have been achieved, including statistical evaluation. Technology grinding was performed without cooling recess manner. The grinding wheels-porous A9980K9V and A9980K13V were used. As machined materials the followings were selected: tool steel 19436.4, cemented and hardened steel 14109.4 and 16420.4. The steel hardness is in the range of HRC = 61 ÷ 62. The work follows the qualitative indicators to assess the integrity of the most common finished surfaces. These characteristics create conditions for influencing the fatigue strength, wear, corrosion stability, and quality.

 

Key words: speed grinding, surface integrity, porosity, microgeometry, microhardness and surface hardening, microstructure, cutting forces.

Abstract: This paper presents a new method of increasing the speed of data acquisition for analog-digital converter of PIC microcontrollers. This method can be used to applications that do not work in real time. The paper describes the principle of the method, the design and the testing activities. Performances depend on the quality and the performances of the used components. The experiments show good results for control of variable reluctance stepper motors.

 Abstract: This article deals with a database model created by computer simulation using Witness® software. The database model was conceived as an e-maintenance system module and can be easily interconnected with any system. The database model is used to support scheduling or human resource management during the course of centralized planning maintenance. Maintenance with centralized human control is favourable for companies supplying expensive and special technologies (e.g. manufactures of machine tools) or for international companies having several locations in different parts of the world (e.g. the automotive industry).  The aim is to improve the efficiency of maintenance workers and thus ensure lower prices, quick re-planning, and decrease travel costs, accommodation costs, etc.. Random failures and non-expected phenomena are also considered. Random situations or alternatives can be simulated before they actually occur.

 

Key words: e-maintenance, multi-criteria function, simulation.

Abstract: Although the interaction between the forming machine and process affects the quality of the finished part significantly, the machine influence is usually ignored in the analysis of the forming process with the Finite-Element-Method. This contribution focuses on this interaction regarding the process of sheet-bulk metal forming. In order to represent the machine characteristics, a hybrid multi-body model of an experimental press has been developed. This model takes into account the machine kinematics and dynamics as well as the elasticity of the press components. In order to validate the machine model the displacement of the press components under load have been determined by means of optical measuring systems. The required three-axial load profiles have been provided by a new developed load device.

 

Key words: sheet-bulk metal forming, interaction, load device, stiffness.

Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a major new technology in recent years. An important new concept introduced by many VR systems is immersion, which refers to the feeling of complete immersion in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment by means of user-centred perspective achieved through tracking the user. This is a huge step forward compared to classical modelling and CAD/CAM packages, which inherently impose major imitations on intuitive user interaction. Lately, with the emergence of complementary areas of VR such as augmented reality (AR), one can address crucial problems of registration between virtual and real worlds.

 

Key words: augmented reality, virtual reality, applications of augmented reality.

Abstract: In this paper some path planning algorithms are describe for Hydro-MiNa robot motions in micro and nano technological environments. This is a part of a project for creation of human-machine interface with force feedback for handling of micro and nano objects. The main purpose of path planning algorithms using here is to increase the ability of the tele-operator to rich its targets at the stage operating by the robot Hydro-MiNa. Due to very small sizes of the investigated objects the exact operator actions are with full significant for decreasing the mistakes and improving the speed and accuracy of the operations. To reach the solution of path planning task the Voronoi Diagrams method is utilized because although it is very old and well known algorithm it has been proven itself as a very effective one. This method is combined with A-Star algorithm for searching the shortest path from current operator position to the object and optimize it in order to avoid most obstacles occurred on the stage. 

 

Key words: path planning, Voronoi’s diagram, planning algorithms, virtual reality, micro/nano robot.

Abstract: In the framework of sustainable development, reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency are prime targets. Reducing the machine tools’ operating power consumption fits into this context. In what presses are concerned, the rigidity increment results in the decrement of the C-frame’s elastic deformation and thus the energy consumption is reduced. This paper presents, in summary, some constructive solutions developed by the authors concerning the rigidity increment of casted C-frames, and some results of their behavior obtained by FEA.

 

Key words: C-frame, rigidity, ribs, pre-stressing, sustainable development, FEA.

Abstract: Numerical controls have a great role in increasing the efficiency of the electric drive of the machine tool, thus in the energy saving. Measurements were done for two of those (one equipped with numerical control and a converter for the asynchronous motor of the main drive, and another with no numerical control and with a converter for the D.C. motors of the main drive). Measurements were done using a   kit which was specialized in acquiring and handling energetic data. This project presents the diagrams resulted from the measurements in a comparative study. The monitored parameters were the following: actual values of voltage and currents during the three phases, the content of harmonics, or the frequency spectrum for all three phases, the frequency of the feeding voltage, active and reactive power, energy, and the power factor.

 

Key words: numerical controls, active and reactive power, energy, converter.
