Title: A study on tolerance design of machine tools and parallel link robots based on mathematical models of shape generation motions

Abstract: The kinematic motion deviations of the machine tools are very important to keep the machining accuracy of the machined products. The motion deviations are deeply influenced by the geometric deviations of the machine tool components, such as guide-ways and bearings. A systematic design method is required for specifying suitable geometric tolerances of the guide-ways, in order to improve the kinematic motion deviations of the machine tools. The main objective of the research is to establish a systematic design method for specifying a suitable set of the geometric tolerances of the guide-ways considering the trade-off between the requirements on the kinematic motion deviations and the ease of the manufacturing processes.
A mathematical model is discussed to represent the standard deviations of the shape generation motions, based on the tolerance values of the guide-ways of the machine tools. A systematic method is presented here, by applying an optimization method, to determine a suitable set of the tolerance values of all the guide-ways under the constraints on the kinematic motion deviations between the tools and the workpieces. The method is applied to some design problems of the geometric tolerances of the guide-ways included in the five-axis machining centers. The proposed design method is expanded and applied to a tolerance design problem of the parallel link robots consisting of a set of parallel links to control the robot hands.


Invited Speakers


Tsutomu Yoshida
Takushoku University, Japan

I am a mechanical engineer. First, I had worked as a designer of pressure vessels and a researcher for Niigata Engineering Company which manufactured diesel engines, ships, construction machinery and oil refineries. At that time, I was interested in optimal design, fracture mechanics and A.I. employing computational mechanics methods. After the business experience, nearly 20 years, I changed my job to the present career. I am specialized in strength of materials. Now I am interested in application of a natural frequency for various problems and try to find useful solution such as measuring Young's moduli of an anisotropic material, measuring Young's modulus over a wide temperature range or discriminating a genuine coin to a false coin.
