Machine Concepts
Linear
motors, motorised
spindles and torque
motors, when combined with concepts such as
parallel kinematics,
give machine tool builders greater scope to innovate than
ever before.
Customers want continual improvement
in part accuracy, surface finish and productivity. Advances
in metal cutting technology and tooling also enables increased
machining speeds.These place new demands on machine tool structures
requiring better dynamic stiffness, lower masses and faster
movements.
CNC Design works closely with the Siemens machine tool technology
group and can strongly support your design team with tools
for new machine simulation and development.
Mechatronic Support
Machine Simulation
Design and optimisation of new machines tools was
previously the domain of the mechanical designer. In an expensive
and time consuming process, a prototype was developed and
a number of machines built before the final production version
was fully developed.
Siemens mechatronic support
team offers a service for full simulation of machine tool
and drives before manufacture. The machine builder can now
develop a software model using standard 3D CAD software and
the Mechatronics Team can work with this to test and optimise
it before going into production, saving money and reducing
the development time.
Optimisation
Testing of existing machines at your site involves
a full anaysis of the dynamic performance, stiffness, resonance,
positioning capability etc. CNC Design provide a comprehensive
report with recommendations on ways to improve and optimise
your machine performance.
