The paper contains substantiated expediency in application of machine tools for manufacturing lenses with low stiffness which make it possible to process simultaneously both actuating surfaces of optical parts. While doing so there is a possibility not only to improve quality of parts due to exclusion of their deformation at the blocking stage but there is also a possibility to ensure significant increase in productivity of the process which pre-supposes shape-formation of high-precision non-process optical elements and also to decrease energy consumption per unit of production. A basic diagram of the machine tool for simultaneous processing of two-sided optical parts with spherical surfaces under conditions of free lapping is presented in the paper. The paper describes the essence of the free lapping method which is one of the most widely used methods in optical instrument-making while obtaining parts with precision actuating surfaces. Methodology for determination of technological equipment settings that ensure uniform stock removal along the whole surface to be machined and also its forced removal as in the central zone of a work-piece, so along its periphery and it is necessary in order to correct macro defects in the form of “hump” or “hole”. The paper proposes methodology for determination of sensitivity in stock removal intensity in respect of changes pertaining to machine tool settings and efficiency of these settings while making corrections of lens macro defects. It has been revealed that maximum sensitivity in stock removal occurs in the case when we change a tool diameter. As for efficiency of the technological equipment settings it has been established that in order to rectify macro defects in the form “hump” or “pit” it is more expedient to change rotation ratio of the tool and the part. Experimental tests on lens processing have been executed and they adequately correlate with the results of theoretical investigations.

The Stability

The analysis of machine tool chatter from frequency domain considerations is generally accepted as a valid representation of the regenerative chatter phenomenon. However, active control of regenerative chatter is still in its embryonic stage. It was established in reference [2] that a measurement of the cutting force could be effectively used in conjunction with a controller and a tool position servo system to increase the stability of an engine lathe and to improve its transient response. This paper presents the design basis for such a system, including both analytical and experimental considerations. The design procedure stems from a real part stability criterion based on the work by Merritt [1]. Because of the unknown variability in the dynamics of a machine tool system, the controller parameters were chosen to accomodate some mismatch between structure and tool servo dynamics. Experimental tests to determine the stability zone of the controlled machine tool system qualitatively confirmed the analytical design results. The experimental results were consistent in that the transient response tests confirmed the frequency domain stability tests. It was also demonstrated experimentally that the equivalent static stiffness of a flexible work-piece system could be substantially increased.

Using the first axiom of statics for equilibrium of a two forces system applied to points of a solid body, it was verified, that the pressure in the zone of contact of a tool with a lens during its abrasive processing by the grinding-free method is unevenly distributed. With this in mind, the nature of the distribution of the pressure profile has been presented graphically, showing the equilibrium condition when the tool is rotated around the center of the spherical surface of the lens relative to its axis of symmetry and the clamping force of the unions that are grinded has been recorded. On that base an expression is proposed for determining the current pressure at an arbitrarily chosen point on the surface of the lens. An expression for determining the continuously changing contact area of the instrument and the lens during its processing by grinding-free method is obtained. The calculation of current pressure at different points of the diametrical cross-section of the contact zone of the lapping surfaces of the tool, performing oscillatory motion, and the lens is performed. As a result, the uneven distribution of pressure in the area under study was revealed, with the minimum value of this indicator taking place in the zone of contact of the tool edge with the lens, and the maximum in the zone of contact of the lens edge with the tool. The observed non-uniformity increases with an increase in the angle of deviation of the tool from the axis of symmetry of the lens. Theoretical and experimental studies of the influence of the tool diameter on the polishing process of the lens under conditions of free grinding, which prevents the occurrence of local error in the marginal zone of the latter due to the pressure drop between the grinding surfaces during the instrument movement, are carried out. At the same time it was found that in order to avoid a “blockage of the edge”, it is necessary to use a tool with diameter of at least 0.8 of the diameter of the lens (in case it is the lower link). The obtained results allow assigning the optimal diameter of the tool depending on the size of the processed lens without preliminary laborious experiments and can be used in optical and optoelectronic instrument making.

The paper purpose is the effectiveness estimation in the technological equipment use, taking into account its reliability and productivity for defective transmission units of buses. The problem consists in the determination of time to be spent on repair of bus transmission units taking into account technological equipment reliability. In the paper there is used a probabilistic method for the prediction bus transmission units, and also a method of the dynamics of averages which allow ensuring minimum of costs for units downtime during repair and equipment cost. The need for repair of transmission units (gear box) arises on an average after 650 hours, the average productivity of the bench makes 4.2 bus / hour. The bench fails on the average after 4600 hours of work, the average time of the bench makes 2 hours. In such a way the solution of the problem specified allows analyzing the necessity of time decrease for transmission unit repair to avoid long downtimes of buses in repair areas without negative impact upon high repair quality and safety during the further operation.

This paper presents selected numerical and experimental results of a skew rolling process for producing balls using helical tools. The study investigates the effect of the billet’s initial temperature on the quality of produced balls and the rolling process itself. In addition, the effect of billet diameter on the quality of produced balls is investigated. Experimental tests were performed using a helical rolling mill available at the Lublin University of Technology. The experiments consisted of rolling 40 mm diameter balls with the use of two helical tools. To determine optimal rolling parameters ensuring the highest quality of produced balls, numerical modelling was performed using the finite element method in the Forge software. The numerical analysis involved the determination of metal flow kinematics, temperature and damage criterion distributions, as well as the measurement of variations in the force parameters. The results demonstrate that the highest quality balls are produced from billet preheated to approximately 1000 °C.

.The paper present aspects about the obtaining of non-precious dental alloys (type CoCrMo and CoCrMoSi7), the determination of chemical composition by optical emission spectrometry and the experimental tests for determining the tensile strength, made on standard plate samples. The base material used in experiments was a commercial alloy, from CoCrMo system, which belongs to the class of dental non-precious alloys, intended to medical applications. The obtaining of studied alloy was made on arc re-melting installation, under vacuum, type MRF ABJ 900. The process followed to realize a rapid melting, with a maximum admissible current intensity. The samples for tests were obtained by casting in an electric arc furnace, under vacuum, in optimal conditions for melting and solidification and processing by electro-erosion, to eliminate all the disturbing factors which come by processing conditions for the samples. The determination of chemical composition for cobalt based alloys, by optical emission spectrometry, was made on SpectromaxX equipment with spark. The electrical discharge is made with the elimination of an energy quantity, fact which determine plasma forming and light issue. Tensile tests for standard samples, made from cobalt based alloy, was made on Instron 3382 testing machine, and assisted by computer. The obtained results are: elongation, elasticity modulus, tensile strength and offer complete information about the analyzed mechanical properties. For the certitude of obtained experimental results, the tests were made on samples with specific dimensions according ISO 6892-1:2009(E) standard, both for the tensile strength, and also machine operation.

Determination of hydrodynamic coefficients is a vital part of predicting the dynamic behavior of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The aim of the present study was to determine the drag and lift related hydrodynamic coefficients of a research AUV, using Computational and Experimental Fluid Dynamics methods. Experimental tests were carried out at AUV speed of 1.5 m s-1 for two general cases: I. AUV without control surfaces (Hull) at various angles of attack in order to calculate Hull related hydrodynamic coefficients and II. AUV with control surfaces at zero angle of attack but in different stern angles to calculate hydrodynamic coefficients related to control surfaces. All the experiments carried out in a towing tank were also simulated by a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from the numerical simulations were in close agreement with those obtained from the experiments.

In machining, speeds play vital role. The operator should know exactly the speed at which machining should be performed to get the required surface finish. In this paper, an attempt is made to determine the optimal cutting speed for machining of alloy steels. Three work piece materials having different hardness are taken and machined using a round nose tool with a coated tip. The tool dynamometer is attached to the tool post for force measurement. Turning operation on the work piece is performed on lathe at four different speeds, keeping the feed and depth of cut constant. Cutting forces acting on the tool, temperature at the tool and material interface are recorded. Power consumed being determined by a wattmeter and surface roughness values are measured. The same procedure is repeated for the other two work-pieces materials and optimal speeds for machining are determined for the three specimens. The results obtained are compared with the theoretical values and found to be very close.

The paper presents the technology of obtaining flat-conical lenses (axicons) by the method of free grinding a work-piece to a flat tool through a layer of abrasive suspension. For this, theoretical and experimental studies of the regularities of stock removal from the base of the cone and its lateral surface have been carried out. The processing modes have been identified that ensure both uniform operation of the flat surface of  the part and enhanced removal of  the allowance in the edge or central zone of this surface. During the study of the processing of the conical surface, the set-up parameters of the technological equipment have been established, at which there is a minimum deviation of the generatrix of the cone from straightness and maximum productivity of the process. The stages of processing conical lenses are proposed, which allow to assign the optimal sequence of operations in the manufacture of this type of parts from blanks of a cylindrical shape in cases where  the ratio of the height of the cone to the diameter of its base H/d £ 0.5. The main stages of processing include: grinding of the bases of cylindrical blanks with maintaining their mutual parallelism with a given accuracy; polishing one of the cylinder bases to achieve the required roughness and deviation from non-flatness; fastening a cylindrical blank to an auxiliary plane-parallel glass plate using molecular cohesion forces; mechanical fastening of a cylindrical work-piece with a collet adapter mandrel for a plane-parallel glass plate; applying the nearest sphere to the second base of the cylindrical blank; drawing a conical surface on the spherical part of a plano-convex lens; grinding and polishing the conical surface to achieve the required roughness  and straightness of the cone generatrix. The degree of efficiency of the setup parameters of the machine has been revealed depending on the technological heredity of the work-piece from the point of view of the distribution of the allowance to be removed over the machined surface.

Determining the values of ASI (Acceleration Severity Index) and THIV (Theoretical Head Impact Velocity) parameters during tests allows you to assign an appropriate class for a given type of object to determine the safety level and to give the CE marking. The paper presents the methodology for determining these parameters based on the EN 1317-1 and EN 12767 standards. The paper also presents a tool created with the use of the Python programming language, which, based on the results of experimental tests or the results of numerical calculations, allows to determine the ASI and THIV values. The values of key parameters from the point of view of normative tests were calculated based on the results of experimental tests of the road sign supporting mast and numerical analysis carried out for the same case using the Finite Element Method and LS-Dyna software, following the EN 12767 standard.
