Advanced technologies for the calibration of machine tools are presented. Kinematic errors
independently of their causes are classified into errors within one-axis as intra-axis errors …

Thin− walled parts are widely used in many important fields because of performance and
structural lightweight requirements. They are critical parts because they usually carry the …

In this paper the idea of Self-Optimizing Machining Systems (SOMS) is introduced and
discussed. Against the background of Industry 4.0, here the focus is the technological level …

Five-axis CNC machining of sculptured surfaces plays a significant role in aerospace
industry, such as blisk machining. The key issue involved is the determination of cutter …

This paper proposes an analytical chatter stability prediction for low frequency vibration
assisted turning process, ie the modulated turning. Introducing low frequency tool …

The ever-increasing complexity in manufacturing systems caused by the fluctuating
customer demands has highly affected the contemporary shop-floors. The selection of the …

In 5-axis tool path generation the tool axis is usually selected based on the workpiece
geometry only, ignoring its effects on the process and machine tool motion. In this paper, a …

Chatter is one of the most critical problems that causes poor surface quality and restriction of
machining efficiency. Spindle speed variation (SSV) is a well-known technique for …

In aerospace industry, five-axis ball-end milling is widely used for flexible thin-walled
aerospace parts by considering the process mechanics. A new analytical method is …

In five-axis machining, stability of the machining process is determined not only by the
combination of depth of cut and spindle speed but also the cutter postures (orientations). In …
