Ziel der Instandhaltung von Werkzeugmaschinen ist die Verfügbarkeitsabsicherung, um hohe Bauteilqualität und Produktivität zu gewährleisten. Die Kenntnis des Vorschubachsenzustandes, im Besonderen des Kugelgewindetriebs, ist daher von enormer Wichtigkeit. Das „Guard-Plus“-System, eine Entwicklung der August Steinmeyer GmbH und der ifm diagnostics GmbH, ermöglicht dies durch Detektion des Vorspannungsverlustes aufgrund von Verschleiß. Untersuchungen zur Systemfunktion wurden in diesem Beitrag durch das wbk Institut für Produktionstechnik durchgeführt.   The aim of machine tool maintenance is to ensure availability in order to guarantee high product quality and productivity. Knowledge of the wear condition of feed axes involved, especially the ball screw, is therefore of enormous importance. The Guard Plus system, a joint development of August Steinmeyer GmbH and ifm diagnostics GmbH, enables this by detecting the preload loss due to wear. Investigation of the system’s function are presented through wbk Institute of Production Science in the following article.

Machine tools for micro machining are so far not adapted to work piece sizes and process forces. They feature hardly any modularity and do not allow reconfiguration in a significant process change. One possibility to adapt the machines is to produce them from plastic or composite materials through generative methods. This “printed” machine is a reconfigurable, monolithic module, in which drives are integrated. By a cooperative motion generation, larger workspaces can be realized while the installation spaces decreases. This gives the possibility to use alternative drive technologies for example piezo-drives. Based on these methods, two small generatively produced machine tools are designed. These machine tools use two different drive principles. The first machine tool is equipped with ball screw drives which are cost efficient and space saving. The second machine tool uses piezo-actuators, which are very dynamic in motion generation. Further has to be examined, which tolerances and rigidities are needed at critical points and which parts can be produced generatively and which in a conventional way.

In this paper, the active-disturbance-rejection control (ADRC) is applied to realize the high-precision tracking control of CNC machine tool feed drives. First, according to the number of the feedback channel, the feed systems are divided into two types: signal-feedback system, e.g., linear motor and rotary table, and double-feedback system, e.g., ball screw feed drive with a load/table position feedback. Then, the appropriate controller is designed to ensure the closed-loop control performance of each type of system based on the idea of ADRC. In these control frameworks, the extended state observers (ESO) estimate and compensate for unmodeled dynamics, parameter perturbations, variable cutting load, and other uncertainties. For the signal-feedback system, the modified ADRC with an acceleration feedforward term is used directly to regulate the load/table position response. However, for the double-feedback system, the ADRC is applied only to the motor position control, and a simple PI controller is used to achieve the accurate position control of the load. In addition, based on ADRC feedback linearization, a novel equivalent-error-model based feedforward controller is designed to further improve the command following performance of the double-feedback system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controllers of both systems have better tracking performance and robustness against the external disturbance compared with the conventional P-PI controller.

Mahindra Firstchoice illustrates the process of ecosystem orchestration in the context of the second-hand car market in India. It describes how Mahindra Firstchoice mapped the ecosystem in relation to six key parties—consumers who were buyers, consumers who were sellers, car manufacturers, independent used-car dealers, independent car service workshops, and banks. It then identified the bottlenecks and ‘pain points’ that afflicted the six parties. The used-car market did not function properly because of lack of trust, information, and transparency and Mahindra Firstchoice worked with the parties to identify solutions to the market failures. These involved, amongst other things, the creation of third-party car inspection services, the establishment of a multi-brand car-dealer franchise, a warranty system, a bluebook of second-hand prices and transactions, and a car diagnosis and repair system.

Dynamic characteristic of ball screw feed system in a milling machine is studied numerically in this work. In order to avoid the difficulty in determining the stiffness of rolling joints theoretically, a dynamic modeling method for analyzing the feed system is discussed, and a stiffness calculation method of the rolling joints is proposed based on the Hertz contact theory. Taking a 3-axis computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine set ermined as a research object, the stiffness of its fixed joint between the column and the body together with the stiffness parameters of the rolling joints is evaluated according to the Takashi Yoshimura method. Then, a finite element (FE) model is established for the machine tool. The correctness of the FE model and the stiffness calculation method of the rolling joints are validated by theoretical and experimental modal analysis results of the machine tool’s workbench. Under the two modeling methods of joints incorporating the stiffness parameters and rigid connection, a theoretical modal analysis is conducted for the CNC milling machine. The natural frequencies and modal shapes reveal that the joints’ dynamic characteristic has an important influence on the dynamic performance of a whole machine tool, especially for the case with natural frequency and higher modes.

The book contains a theory of knowledge, self-trust, autonomy, and consciousness. It takes an explanatory system, a theory, to solve philosophical problems, whatever the risk of error. The theory is a coherence theory of knowledge, a defensibility theory of knowledge. The defensibility is an internal capacity supplied by an evaluation system to defend the target claim. Defense or justification that is sustained by truth in the background system is defensible knowledge. Exemplar representation of conscious experience, exemplarization, connects the system with truth by making experience self-representational. The truth-maker and the representation of it are one. The exemplarized experiences also become exhibits of what it is like to experience external entities radiating to represent them. In this way, the accepted premises of our experience, our exemplar representations, become part of the justification and defense of target knowledge claims within our evaluation system.
