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

这项拨款为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提供资金，该中心基于缩放的英格索兰铣床八面体六足体加工中心和布朗夏普Excel坐标测量机。六足机器有六个自由度，设计为刚性和精确，因此它可以执行许多制造功能，从塑料和复合材料研究的复杂模具的高速铣削，到复合胶带铺设研究。测量机将用于测量零件，以验证六足架的切割性能。通过与机床制造商合作，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、精密磁轴承主轴、精密自适应控制器和先进的高效线性电动机。该研究将应用于Hexapod和Excel mCMM，以进一步提高其速度和精度，这是美国机床行业要重新获得世界领先地位所需要的关键参数。

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.
