 Abstract: In this conceptual paper, an analysis concerning the premises which carry on the evolution of nowadays machining systems, the challenges to be faced in the years to come and the support for this evolution is presented. As it is already obvious, the main changes will refer to machine-tools control system, the current one evolving towards a new optimal holistic character. A new concept for machine-tools control, a new approach concerning the numerical control and a new methodology of operational control are exposed. A new strategy for dimensional control was developed.

 

 Key words: machine tool control system, optimal holistic, holarchic, adaptive/intelligent, predictive, interactive.

Abstract: Due to the fact that the milling process still remaining a challenge for researchers, the paper deals with the concept of chip geometry model built on the basis of geometric definition of the cutting tool, namely the inserts. This model type is considered for its integration into a global model of the cutting process. This research tries to give new methods for defining the uncut chip area and length, namely CAD methods, replacing the analytical ones very complex for some cutting tools. The main purpose of the work is to obtain functions of two variables (cutting depth and feed per tooth) for the uncut chip area, uncut chip length and uncut chip thickness using multiple regression algorithms. The achievement of the relation is important in cutting force estimation and also in optimization of cutting parameters. These functions of two variables (ap and fz) approximate the actual average chip area, length and thickness values with relative errors less than 10 %. The cutting tool used is CoroMill R 365-080Q27-S15M with cutting tool inserts R365-1505ZNE-PM 4230 (Sandvik Coromant). The fit between data obtained though CAD methods and data calculated through the model is very good, the functions for uncut chip area, length and thickness being reliable.

 

Key words:milling, milling cutter, insert, cutting edge curve, uncut chip area, uncut chip length, uncut chip thickness.

Abstract: The rotational molding is a manufacturing method that allows obtaining parts with hollow form by rotating a mold around two perpendicular axes with the part material in the liquid state. Although the manufacturing method was proposed more than one century ago, there are yet aspects less investigated and the emergence of new materials that can be processed by rotational molding also generate interesting problems for the researchers. The paper presents some theoretical considerations concerning the conditions for the liquid flow during the rotational molding process. The coordinates of a point belonging to the mold were derived, even for the case where the mold rotates around two perpendicular axes. By knowing the relations specific to the point motion, the motion speed can be expressed. The main forces acting on a small volume of liquid material, i.e., gravitational, viscous, and centrifugal forces, were taken into consideration. The resultant force ensures conditions for the penetration of the liquid material in the narrow spaces of the mold cavity. A systemic analysis was used to highlight the main input and output factors specific to the process.

 

Key words: rotational molding, liquid flow, motion trajectory, forces, systemic analysis, input factors, output factors.

Abstract: The internal worm gear pairs are special ones, which are composed by a helical worm and an internal teeth worm wheel. In the case of internal worm gear pairs, when the internal teeth worm wheel are manufactured by a worm hob with same geometrical parameters like the helical worm the manufacturing not represent a difficult problem, especial in case if the axis of worm and worm wheel are non perpendicular. .The paper presents some aspects on construction models; on using special devices; the mathematical modeling in the case of non perpendicular axes and some aspects of manufacturing.

 

Key words: internal worm gears, helical worm, special devices.

Abstract: This paper introduces some aspects to be taken into consideration when a company has to acquire a machine tool. Money is a precious asset and you need to spend it wisely when you have to repair an aging piece of equipment, when you need to remanufacture components within the unit or when it is necessary to replace equipment. The choice of the machine tool type to be purchased depends on a number of factors also related to production requirements, not only to machine price, such as: cost of devices, tools, control devices, machining, cost of the possible training courses, cost of necessary arrangements (foundation, electrical connections, air, water, etc.), possible guarding and fencing of the auxiliary spaces intended. It insists in particular on the purchase of heavy and very heavy duty machine tools from the category of universal and CNC type machine tools. These machines are complex ones, they take a large volume in the industrial spaces and their prices are high, exceeding sometimes the amount of millions of dollars. Taking into account only these latter remarks, a technical and economic study should be made prior to any such acquisition.

 

Key words: 3R policy, costs, technical & economic study, heavy duty machine tools, remanufactured machine tools, machine tools as an investment.

Abstract: In this paper, the phenomena of hysteretic behaviour of frictional contacts observed during re­ciprocating experiments are discussed. The hysteretic behaviour is determined theoretically based on the expression of hysteresis virgin curve. On the basis of the experimental analysis, an analytical method for determining the energy dissipation, equivalent damping and tangential contact stiffness is proposed. For all material contacts the same tendencies of the energy dissipation and equivalent damping can be ob­served which are increasing with load and displacement and, also for the contact stiffness which is in­creasing with increasing load and weakening with the displacement.

 

Key words: contact stiffness, damping, hysteresis, friction, energy dissipation.

Abstract: The hypocycloidal flanks of the cylindrical gear teeth have the flank lines defined by lengthened or shortened hypocycloid and the involute profile. The curved and bulged flanks have some advantages, among them being the increased strength in bending and controlled positioning of the contact imprint. The tooth flank generation has on the basis the application of the technological process of milling using a cutting tool with multi-cutters by rolling with mobile line and continuous division. The paper deals with basic aspects regarding kinematics, construction, and running of the multiple cutters milling head for processing teeth with involute profile and hypocycloid at flanks in cylindrical gears. The two curves that define the flank, the involute and hypocycloid, are kinematically and simultaneously generated by rolling. The cutting tool is constituted as an accessory adaptable on the tooth processing machine of FD-Cugir type. The generated teeth are curved and bulged presenting some qualities such as controlled positioning of the contact zone, increase of bending resistance and so on. The gears processed by means of the milling head had errors corresponding to the precision steps 8 and 9. The calculation relations and numerical data in the paper contain the basic parameters that define the construction and the adjustment of the tool, generation motions and geometry of the processed teeth.

 

Key words: multiple cutter milling head, cylindrical gear, curved flanks, closed hypocycloid, involute profile, adjust parameters, tooth processing machine, motion parameters, main motion, real cutting speed.ist 5-8 keywords.

Abstract: The economic and financial evaluation of industrial investment projects in developed countries with market economy is based on the combined use of traditional and modern, rational methods, characterized by the scientific and reliability, tested and validated by long practice. In this article is presented the indicator of economic evaluation of industrial projects, profitability index, the method of calculation, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using it through a case study. The case study shows a clear problem solving investment in case of the existence of several variants of industrial projects and their related modeling in linear terms. The profitability index is a significant indicator in assessing the economic and financial performance of a project or a company both internally and in the diagnostic tests requested by external partners.

 

Key words: method of profitability index, economic evaluation, industrial investment projects.
