Development of a High Speed, High Precision Machining Center(ARI/MME)

9413936 SLocum这笔赠款提供资金，用于在麻省理工学院制造和生产力实验室建立一个高速高精度加工中心，该中心基于英格索尔铣床八面体六足加工中心和布朗&夏普Excel坐标测量机。六足机床有六个自由度，设计坚固而精确，因此它可以执行许多制造功能，从高速铣削用于塑料和复合材料研究的复杂模具，到复合胶带铺设研究。该测量机将用于测量零件，以验证六足的切割性能。通过与机床制造商的合作，该中心将帮助以下领域的研究人员更有效地将他们的研究应用于机床：内部被动结构阻尼器设计和自补偿水、静压轴承、精密温度控制、精密电磁轴承主轴、精密自适应控制器和先进的高效直线电机。这项研究将应用于六足和Excel mCMM，以努力进一步提高它们的速度和精度，这是美国机床行业要重新获得其世界领先地位所需的关键参数。

9413936 Slocum This grant provides funds for the establishment of a high speed high precision machining center, based on a scaled Ingersoll Milling Machine Octahedral Hexapod machining center and a Brown & Sharp Excel Coordinate Measuring Machine, in the Laboratory for Manufacturing & Productivity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Hexapod machine has six degrees of freedom, and is designed to be rigid and accurate, so it can perform many manufacturing functions ranging from high speed milling of complex molds for plastics and composites research, to composite tape laying research. The measuring machine will be used to measure parts to verify cutting performance of the Hexapod. By working with machine tool builders, this Center will help enable researchers in the following areas to more effectively apply their research to machine tools: internal passive structural damper designs and self-compensated water, hydrostatic bearings, precision temperature control, precision magnetic bearing spindles, precision adaptive controllers, and advanced high-efficiency, linear electric motors. The research will be applied to the Hexapod and Excel mCMM in an effort to further increase their speed and accuracy, which are critical parameters required by the United States machine tool industry if it is to regain its world leadership position.
