This paper mainly analyses the issues of the temperature distributions of the headstock assembly of a CNC lathe incorporating contact behavior. The thermal deformation is due to the heat generation in the bearings, chucking cylinder and motor. Experiments were carried out on a slant bed 2 axis CNC lathe for a period of 14 hours under a specified load cycle. Since heat generated in the machine t...

The paper describes the application of an expert system to develop the carbide cutting tools selection system for computer numerical control (CNC) lathe machine. The aim of the development is to select the optimum tool holder, carbide cutting tools, insert, feed rate, and turning speed for CNC lathe machine. The system is able to select the suitable tips tool based on the dimension, machining p...

Today, machine tools play a vital role in the production of parts any manufacturing industry. The dimensional accuracy and surface finish work piece depends mainly on condition machine. Vibration occurring has been being serious problem for engineers many decades. Undesired relative vibrations between tool work-piece jeopardize quality surfaces during cutting.
 Many Condition Monitoring Te...

In recent years virtual reality technology has been extensively applied to the areas relating to manufacturing, such as factory layout planning, manufacturing planning, operation training, system testing, and process control, etc. Most of the studies made in the past focused on the simulation and monitoring of the entire manufacturing system, or the simulation of working schedule implementation...
