Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Two-Axis Rotary Table

该合同用于购买两轴转台，该转台将安装在三轴立式铣床上，使机床总共有五个计算机数控（CNC）轴。这种程度的复杂性将使研究人员能够在现实世界的操作模式下评估目前正在进行的几个研究项目。所有这些研究工作都旨在通过开发新的和改进的插补器和伺服系统架构来提高复杂轮廓加工的精度能力。该设备还打算用于本科教育，特别是在“制造系统的计算机控制”领域。提高复杂曲面的轮廓加工精度对各种制造业提高产品性能具有重要意义。从竞争的角度来看，这一工作对国内产业也具有重要意义。

This award is for the purchase of a two-axis rotary table that will be installed on a three-axis vertical milling machine, giving the machine tool a total of five Computer Numerical Control (CNC) axis. This degree of complexity will enable the researchers to evaluate several research projects, currently in progress, in a real world mode of operation. All these research efforts are aimed at enhancing the accuracy capability of complex-contour machining by developing new and improved interpolators and servo-system architecture. The equipment is also intended to be used for undergraduate education, specifically in the area of "Computer Control of Manufacturing Systems." Enhancing the accuracy of contour machining of complex surfaces is of major significance to wide variety of manufacturing industries for the purpose of improving the performance of their products. This work is also of great significance to the domestic industry from a competitive perspective.
