Why Conventional Machine Tool Design is Holding You Back
In today's global manufacturing landscape, relying on traditional machine tool design methods—based largely on trial-and-error and empirical rules—is no longer competitive. Current Research & Development (R&D) often focuses only on static rigidity and overall machine weight, resulting in lengthy development cycles and often overly heavy machine structures. Critically, these methods fail to directly optimize for real-world cutting performance, leading to significant discrepancies between design specifications and actual customer processing demands.
PMC’s Solution: Smart Machine Tool Integrated Development
The Precision Machinery Research and Development Center (PMC) offers advanced technical services for the Integrated Development of Smart Machine Tools using Collaborative and Digital Design. We employ a rigorous, scientific approach to designing and optimizing entire machine tool systems to maximize cutting efficiency and structural integrity.
1. Full Machine Development Technology (The Four Pillars):
PMC's comprehensive development process covers everything from initial customer requirement analysis to final test verification, broken down into four essential parts:
-
Machine Simulation and Analysis: We utilize Optimal Generative Technology to rapidly determine and configure rationalized rib structures, dramatically improving structural rigidity. We then conduct mechatronic integration matching analysis, ensuring that the motion control system is perfectly matched with the machine’s structural characteristics for specific machining laws.
-
Simulated Cutting Verification: We create a digital model of the machine for simulation. By integrating virtual cutting process simulation and verification results, designers can quickly analyze and adjust all relevant elements and conditions.
-
Machine Design Selection: Based on customer needs and analysis results, we select the optimal machine configuration (small, medium, or large). We then set key operating parameters—such as feed rate, acceleration/deceleration, and structural rigidity—to meet demanding high-speed and high-removal-rate milling requirements.
-
Automation Peripherals Integration: We handle the integrated design and development of all peripheral automation equipment, including tool magazines, material handling systems, measuring/inspection devices, and chip removal systems.
2. Advanced Structural FEA Technology for Precision
To ensure unparalleled machine quality and performance-to-price ratio, PMC provides specialized Smart Machine Tool Structural FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Technology services. Our analysis covers four key areas:
-
Whole Machine Static Rigidity Analysis
-
Whole Machine Dynamic Rigidity Analysis
-
Acceleration/Deceleration Inertia Effect Analysis
-
Motion Accuracy Analysis
Proven Track Record in Smart Manufacturing
PMC has a deep commitment to elevating the domestic machine tool industry. We have successfully assisted numerous Taiwanese machine tool manufacturers, including MAXSEE, LICHIA, FAR EAST, HARTING, HSINWEI, CHAU WEI JIN, GINKOUJI, and SHENGDAI, in developing over 12 models and 70 units of high-performance smart machine tools.
