In the development stages of a Digital twin of production assets, especially machine tools, real time process monitoring and data gathering proves to be vital. Having a monitoring system that monitors and updates the operators or managers in real time, helps improve productivity in terms of reducing downtime through predictive/preventive analytics and by incorporating in process quality assessment capabilities. When it comes to Real time monitoring of machine tools andprocesses, sensor technologies have proven to be the most effective and widely researched. Years of research and development have paved the way for many smart sensor technologies that come both in built with the machine tools as well as external applications. However, these technologies prove to be expensive and complicated to implement especially for Small and Medium Enterprises. This thesis focuses on evaluating and testing a simple, cost-efficient monitoring system using inexpensive sensor technologies that would help optimize an existing Digital twin setup for machine tools for Small and Medium Enterprises. Experiments with a 5 axis CNC machine tool using different tools and varying operating parameters, materials were performed,and the relevant sensor data were collected, mapped, analysed for accuracy and benchmarking. The thesis also evaluates the integration of this data with the information already collected from other sources, improve existing data reliability, and provides guidelines on this could be transformed usefully to create more value to SME’s.

Este trabalho tem seu foco na monitoração dos processos de usinagem das máquinas ferramentas sem a utilização de sensores dedicados à medição direta das grandezas mecânicas envolvidas no processo de usinagem em si. Assim sendo, optou-se por um método de medição indireta utilizando um estimador de potência e torque baseado nas grandezas elétricas na entrada de energia do motor de indução da máquina ferramenta. O núcleo central do trabalho consiste na medição de processos de usinagem utilizando um dinamômetro de alta precisão próprio para máquina ferramenta para obter os valores médios e os modos de vibração do processo máquina ferramenta-usinagem e fazer a confrontação com os mesmos dados obtidos pelo estimador de torque. A pesquisa realizada utilizou ferramentas clássicas de processamento de sinais, como é o caso da FFT, assim como duas poderosas ferramentas atuais, a transformada de wavelet (WT) e a transformada de Hilbert-Huang (HHT). Em adição foi utilizado um processo de otimização para a determinação dos parâmetros do motor de indução on-line baseado em uma metaheurística denominada busca de harmonia (Harmony Search HS) / This work focuses on monitoring the machining processes in machine tools without the use of dedicated transducers to directly measure mechanicals quantities of the machining process. The approached method used the option of measuring the power and torque through a estimator based in the electrical quantities in the input of the induction motor used by machine tool. The core of the work consists in the measuring the mechanical processes of machining using a high precision dynamometer specified to machine tool to get the average values of mechanical quantities and the vibration modes of the set machine tool-machining process, the objective is to compare the same data group got from dynamometer and estimator. The research data was based on classical analysis tool such as Fourier transform (FFT) and on modern powerful tools such as wavelet transforms (WT) and Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT). To refine the measuring process of average values of torque and power using the induction motor a method to estimates the motor parameters was added based on an optimization method named harmony search (HS).

Com o presente projeto se pretende desenvolver um protótipo de máquina de usinagem para atender a fabricação de pequenos lotes (10~20 peças), Esta máquina terá características intermediárias entre as máquinas universal (manual) e de controle numérico (CN); conjugando as vantagens funcionais destas duas: alta eficiência e flexibilidade. A máquina projetada terá uma operação manual (trajetória), e seu posicionamento será servo-assistido. Entenda-se \"desenvolver\" como: a) Propor uma estratégia de usinagem; b) Propor uma configuração de máquina que funcione segundo esta estratégia; c) desenvolver um protótipo e; d) validar a estratégia e a configuração através de testes no protótipo. A estratégia de posicionamento aqui proposta, é baseada em um posicionamento manual, ou seja, o operador define livremente o movimento da ferramenta com relação à peça a se fabricar. Porém, um computador monitora constantemente a posição da ferramenta e não permite a entrada desta numa região, nomeada \"Região Proibida\"; que corresponde ao perfil da peça. A região proibida é definida diretamente a partir de um desenho de CAD, dispensando o uso de alguma ferramenta computacional de geração automática de trajetória de ferramenta. Deste modo, o operador realiza a usinagem de desbaste. O acabamento é realizado automaticamente pelo computador, que faz com que a ferramenta contorne o perfil da peça, uma vez que o operador envia um sinal de partida. Uma possível configuração de máquina para alcançar esta estratégia é apresentada. E consiste de uma mesa XY servo controlada, adaptada a uma furadeira de bancada, onde operador comanda o movimento da mesa mediante um joystick. Através de ensaios de usinagem, o trabalho demonstra a eficácia da estratégia proposta. / Present project aims the development of a machine tool prototype for attend the manufacturing of small lots (10~20 pieces), This machine will have characteristics intermediate between the universal and the numerical control (CN) machines. The desired machine conjugates the functional advantages of both types of machines: high efficiency and flexibility. The machine, thus designed, will have a manual operation (the tool path is defined by the operator), and its positioning will be servoassisted. Here, \"to develop\" includes: a) to propose a machining strategy; b) to propose an arrangement of machine that works according to this strategy; c) to develop a prototype and; d) to validate the strategy and the arrangement through tests with the prototype. The positioning strategy, is based on a manual positioning, i.e., the operator defines freely the motion of the tool with respect to the work piece. However, a computer monitores constantly the tool position, not permitting the entrance of it inside the area, here called \"prohibited region\", corresponding to the profile of the part to be machined. Outside that region, the computer enables operator to move the tool as he wants. The prohibited region is defined directly from a CAD draft, eliminating the necessity of any kind of computer tools for generating automatically the tool path. Thus, the operator executes the rough machining. The finishing path is executed automatically by the computer that makes the tool contour the profile of the part, according to the start-up command given by the operator. In the work, one possible arrangement of machine to achieve this strategy is presented. It consists of servo controlled XY table and adjusted to a bench drill in which, the operator commands the table motion by means a joy-stick. By machining tests, this work shows the efficiency of the proposed strategy.

Regenerative chatter is a well-known machining problem that results in unstable cutting process, poor surface quality, reduced material removal rate and damage on the machine tool itself. Stability lobe diagrams supply stable depth of cut &amp / #8211 / spindle speed combinations and they can be used to avoid chatter. The main requirement for generating the stability lobe diagrams is the system dynamics information at the tool tip in the form of point frequency response function (FRF). In this work, an analytical model that uses structural coupling and modification methods for modeling the dynamics of spindle-holder-tool assemblies in order to obtain the tool point FRF is presented. The resulting FRF obtained by the model can be used in the existing analytical and numerical models for constructing the stability lobe diagrams. Timoshenko beam theory is used in the model for improved accuracy and the results are compared with those of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The importance of using Timoshenko beam theory in the model is pointed out, and the circumstances, under which the theory being used in the model becomes more important, are explained. The model is verified by comparing the results obtained by the model with those of a reliable finite element software for a case study. The computational superiority in using the model developed against the finite element software is also demonstrated. Then, the model is used for studying the effects of bearing and contact dynamics at the spindle-holder and holder-tool interfaces on the tool point FRF. Based on the results of the effect analysis, a new approach is suggested for the identification of bearing and interface parameters from experimental measurements, which is demonstrated on a spindle-holder-tool assembly. The model is also employed for studying the effects of design and operational parameters on the tool point FRF, from the results of which, suggestions are made regarding the design of spindles and selection of operational parameters. Finally, it is experimentally demonstrated that the stability lobe diagram of an assembly can be predicted pretty accurately by using the model proposed, and furthermore the stability lobe diagram can be modified in a predictable manner for improving chatter stability.

Les travaux de recherche présentés dans ce mémoire concernent la prédiction et l’amélioration des performances des machines-outils à structure parallèle dans le but de produire des pièces conformes à la qualité requise en un temps minimal. Le problème abordé permet de déterminer l’influence de la structure sur la productivité et la qualité de la pièce usinée dans le contexte de l’Usinage à Grande Vitesse de pièces automobiles et aéronautiques. Ce travail propose alors des avancées suivant deux axes fondamentaux : - la modélisation du comportement anisotrope de la cellule d’usinage ; - la proposition de nouvelles méthodes d’adaptation du processus.Ces deux axes sont dans un premier temps abordés vis-à-vis d’un objectif d’amélioration des temps de déplacement d’outil hors matière. La méthode développée nécessite l’élaboration d’un modèle cinématique des déplacements hors matière spécifique à chaque structure de machine outil et basé sur l’utilisation d’une loi de commande articulaire. Un outil d’aide à la mise en place d’un usinage sur machine-outil à structure parallèle est ensuite proposé. Cet outil repose sur un modèle numérique de comportement cinématique utilisant une loi de commande de déplacement dans le repère lié à la pièce permettant de prédire le temps d’usinage en fonction des trajectoires. L’optimisation du processus d’usinage s’appuie également sur la prédiction de la qualité d’usinage. Pour cela, un modèle expérimental basé sur une campagne de mesures effectuée sur la machine-outil considérée a été développé. Ces approches sont appliquées à des usinages de pièces industrielles sur la machine-outil PCI Tripteor X7. Leur originalité réside dans l’amélioration des performances des machines-outils à structure parallèle à partir de l’analyse du comportement durant l’usinage et permet, par conséquent, d’étendre leur domaine d’application. / The research works presented here deal with the prediction and the performance improvement of parallel kinematic machine tools in order to produce machine parts with a specified quality level and in a minimum time. The problem treated allows determining the structure influence on the productivity and the machined part quality in the context of High Speed Machining for automotive and aeronautical parts.So, these works propose improvements along two fundamental ways : - modelling of the machine tool anisotropic behaviour ; - new methods of process adaptation. These approaches lead in a first time to a study of the time taken by the linking tool movement between cutting operations. The developed method is based on the definition of a kinematic model of linking tool movements, specific to each machine-tool and based on a command law defined in the joint workspace. A helpful resource for the setting up of machining with a parallel kinematic machine tool is then proposed. It is based on a numerical model of the kinematic behaviour using a command law of the movement defined in the programming workspace and providing a prediction of machining time. The process optimization is also based on the machining quality prediction brought by an experimental model enhanced by a measurement campaign realized on the considered machine tool. These approaches are applied to industrial parts with the PCI Tripteor X7 machine-tool. Their originality lies in the improvement of parallel kinematic machines tool performances from an analysis of the machine behaviour during the machining, and consequently allows extending their application field.
