The Development of Active Control Method of Thread Mills

Abstract

This paper considers solution to a problem of ensuring the threaded joints manufacture on the computer numerical control machines and development of the thread mill active control method. This method is realized by introducing the non-contact measurement system, and implementing the developed algorithms adapted to the cutting tool features. The presented method automates tool measurement and reduces the number of thread manufacture defects caused by using the worn or broken tools, as well as by incorrect determination of a zero-point coordinate of the thread mill installed on a computer numerical control machine. Main benefit of the recommended approach lies in the missing requirement to use additional sensors to be installed on the computer numerical control machine, which probably could become relevant for the majority of instrument-making and machine engineering enterprises. Moreover, the proposed method could be used to obtain data required in constructing a forecast model of the cutting tool wear. This would simplify the technological processes planning aimed at reducing the risk of loss of the cutting tool operation condition in a machining step
