DEVELOPMENT OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR NUMERICALLY-CONTROLLED MILLING MACHINES

Abstract

Phase II of a program directed toward the development of adaptive control techniques for numerically controlled milling machines is described, and plans for Phase III are reviewed. The detailed design of a complete adaptive control system was completed, and plans were made for fabrication and checkout of the system in Phase III. An experimental metalcutting program was conducted to develop techniques for on-line measurement of process performance. The instantaneous tool wear rate was found to correlate with certain of the sensed variables, and an empirical equation for calculation of this parameter was developed.
