Abstract: A model of the flank wear of cutting tools is developed by using linear control theory. The flank wear is assumed to consist of a mechanically activated and a thermally activated component. ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of computerized numerical control (CNC) for manufacturing systems. Two types of CNC systems referred to as Reference-Pulse and Sampled-Data are discussed. In the first ...

Abstract: Interpolation techniques for CNC manufacturing systems are either of the Reference-Pulse or Reference-Word type. Reference-Pulse interpolators have been discussed in a previous paper [2]. The present ...

Abstract: Adaptive Control Constrains (ACC) as applied to machine tool systems refers to the regulation of the cutting process characteristics such as spindle power, cutting force etc., by varying the ...

Abstract: Interpolation techniques for CNC manufacturing systems are either of the Reference-Pulse or Reference-Word type. Reference-Pulse interpolations emit a sequence of pulses as reference signals to the ...

Abstract: An optimal infeed control policy is proposed to minimize the cycle time in cylindrical plunge grinding. As compared with conventional infeed control consisting of roughing followed by spark-out, ...

Abstract: A computer-controlled vehicle that is part of a mobile nursing robot system is described. The vehicle applies a motion control strategy that attempts to avoid slippage and minimize position ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the development of kinematic algorithms for the control of sensor-equipped robots. The kinematics is solved in the sensor coordinate system, which reduces the computation ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method for planning an efficient tool-path in machining free-form surfaces on 3-axis milling machines. This new approach uses a nonconstant offset of the previous ...

Abstract: A computerized adaptive control grinding system has been developed. The system is designed to optimize both the grinding and dressing conditions for maximum removal rate subject to constraints ...
