The pose (position and orientation) errors joint-clearance-due influences the accuracy of 6- dof parallel manipulator significantly. In this sense the error modeling approach becomes imperative. In this paper, a new statistical model which based on forward kinematics is presented. Firstly, the structure of joint clearance and 6-dof parallel manipulator is analyzed and simplified. The forward kinematics process is applied to identify the pose of the manipulator for sample set of link lengths and corresponding pose error can be obtained subsequently, then the statistical method is used to investigate the characters of pose errors. Finally the contributions of the research are highlightened by means of comparative simulations.

Grid Manufacturing (GM) is a new production paradigm, based upon the use of standardized and modular Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS). In GM all systems have a virtual counterpart that actsautonomously, this includes both complete manufacturing systems and the products. The control system required for this approach is based upon a distributed and hybrid architecture, using agent technology. An important aspect in the paradigm is the product manufacturing description. This paper introduces the concept of an architecture where the control of the manufacturing is abstracted from the product manufacturing blueprint. A product is delineated step by step by specific services in the grid. The proposed system increases flexibility twofold, first by enabling abstraction of product's parts and second by dynamically using manufacturing means.

Micro-EDM (μEDM) milling is a well-established micro-manufacturing technique, which offers three-dimensional and flexible machining capabilities for structuring electrically conductive difficult-to-machine materials. There has been considerable progress in micro-manufacturing capabilities by μEDM in recent years. Nevertheless there still exist a few challenges in terms of process accuracy and efficiency, and the achievable shape accuracy in micro-EDM milling is limited to 3-4 microns in vertical direction and 2-3 microns in plane. In order to reach zero-defect manufacturing with this micro-sparking technique, a holistic approach for precision micro-EDM milling is pursued at Leuven University. To improve the overall performance of the micro-EDM milling process, various upgrading has been carried out on a SARIX® machine, which includes monitoring and controlling of the stability of the sparking process (gap variation and energy distribution etc.), wear compensation of the tool-electrode, and on-machine metrology. Preliminary experiments have been carried out with promising results, and further system integration and application on industrial demonstrators are in progress.

In this paper an efficient and robust method for Boolean operations on triangulated solids is presented. It is applied to regularized Boolean operations including union, difference, and intersection. This approach is better than other methods because three optimizations have been introduced. First, the constructed topology information improves the data structure from discrete triangles to point indices, face indices, and their connectivity information. Second, the space dividing algorithm has improved the computational complexity from O (m * n) to O (k (log K)). Third, the tessellation has enumerated a number of special triangle-triangle intersection examples, which are then dealt with separately. Finally, this method is implemented by a program written in C++ and OSG. With some examples, this system is proved to be efficient and robust.

Reasonable bearing preload can sufficiently ensure the good performance of bearing. Traditionally, rigid and constant preloads are used to apply uniform forces on the bearing. However, considering the machining errors, assembly errors and load conditions, the uniform preload actually manifests as a non-uniform load distribution in ball bearing. The work presents a method to analyze the bearing characters under the different preload conditions. Under non-uniform preload the bearing outer ring is rotated at a small angle with respect to inner ring. In this occasion, the stresses and deformations of rolling elements at different azimuth angles diverse from each other. As a result, the bearing stiffness is also different from that under uniform preload. In this paper, the bearing deformation and stiffness under different uniform and non-uniform preloads are analyzed using nonlinear finite element method. The results show that the relationship between axial stiffness and axial preload are nonlinear. The bearing angular stiffness increases nonlinearly with the equivalent moment under non-uniform preload.

Nowadays many large companies have outsourced their product design. In such cases, a design subcontractor designs the product on the basis of a list of requirements and the desired property profile. In these circumstances, the actual engineering designer does not know where the product will be manufactured, nor the equipment used in the manufacturing process. This study presents the information required to describe the machine and material resources needed for the development of an analysis method for global automated production in the turret punch press environment. The description of product and device resources and their interconnectedness is the starting point for a method comparison in the development of expenses, production planning and performance optimization. The main research question of this paper is: what are the central boundary conditions required in sheet metal production between machine and materials in the turret punch press environment, with regards to developing capability analysis for the process?

A optimal design method based on intelligent inference is proposed aiming at the existing deficiency such as large design space, low solving efficiency and poor quality caused by many characteristic parameters of complex structural components. By numerical simulation technology and DOE (Design of Experiment), the components are simulated under multi-conditions. The decision table of multidisciplinary simulation data is obtained through the discretization of continuous simulation data by clustering analysis. Then the design parameter characteristics are backtracked to guide the multidisciplinary design optimization of the components by using data mining technology. Finally, this method is verified through a case study on a cylinder head of inline4 engine.

As an important component of machine tools, spindle is the end part directly determining the quality of machined surfaces. It is essential to guarantee the spindle rotary accuracy for improving the machining quality. Spindle rotary accuracy is determined by bearing accuracy and other components' geometric error. Firstly, a 5-DOF bearing model is applied to describe the position and orientation deviations between inner ring and outer ring. It is also used to describe bearings' rotational error. Secondly, the distance of curvature centers of inside and outside raceways is calculated when the position and orientation of inner ring changes, in consideration of the dimensioned and form errors of the inner, outer rings and balls. Small Displacements Torsor (SDT) is used to describe machining error of spindle. Finally, geometric factors such as shaft machining error, bearing's preload and the assembly angle are discussed.
