The prediction of machining processes is a challenging task and usually requires a large experimental basis. These experiments are time-consuming and require manufacturing and testing of different tool geometries at various process conditions to find optimum machining settings. In this paper, a machine learning model of the orthogonal cutting process of Ti6Al4V is proposed to predict the cutting and feed forces for a wide range of process conditions with regards to rake angle, clearance angle, cutting edge radius, feed and cutting speed. The model uses training data generated by virtual experiments, which are conducted using physical based simulations of the orthogonal cutting process with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). The ML training set is composed of input parameters, and output process forces from 2500 instances of GPU accelerated SPH simulations. The resulting model provides fast process force predictions and can consider the cutter geometry in comparison to classical analytical approaches.

To improve the screw machining accuracy in modern air compressors. This paper investigates three main issues during the development process for cycloid screw machining methods on five-axis CNC machine tools with high precision and efficiency. First, the theoretical basis of cycloid screw surface shaping and derivative of the final profile equation is established. Then, modeling the center trajectory and feed rate according to the cycloid screw profile is given. Next is the experimental setup and simulation of the cycloid screw machining process and discussions. The obtained surface quality prediction parameters are close to the actual measured value, which can be used as a reference model for five-axis CNC milling technology processes. All experimental results obtained by the proposed mathematical model show that a surface with good surface quality is created, meeting the requirements for surface quality. The main work can be used as references for engineers and technicians in practice.

The industrial landscape is undergoing a series of fundamental changes, because of the advances in cutting-edge digital technologies. Under the framework of Industry 4.0 engineers have focused their effort on the development of new frameworks integrating digital technologies such as Big Data Analytics, Digital Twins, Extended Reality, and Artificial Intelligence, to upscale modern manufacturing systems, reduce uncertainties, and cope with the increased market volatility. However, in the upcoming industrial revolution, i.e., Industry 5.0, the research focus will be directed towards the new generation of human operators, the Operator 5.0. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key technologies that will be the drivers towards the realization of the Operator 5.0 and to highlight the key challenges. Additional contribution is the proposal of a framework for the training and support of shopfloor technicians based on the utilization of Mixed Reality for manufacturing processes.

Temporally and spatially unstable thermal conditions lead to inhomogeneous thermoelastic changes in the workpiece geometry. Consequently, non-negligible geometric deviations are evident, especially when measuring large workpieces with narrow tolerances, which often take place in non-climatized production environments and thus make thermal monitoring indispensable. Accurate determination of the thermoelastic behaviour for complex and large geometries is a challenging task with computationally effortful or less accurate existing solutions. Thus, the development of innovative measurement and modelling approaches is subject of current research, whereat physical validation is a prerequisite. Therefore, the authors developed a method, enabling the emulation of typical process heat cycles on a turbine housing in combination with a geometric measurement system. The idea is to provide reproducible and reversible thermal conditions on a representative large workpiece and to investigate the resulting geometric deformation in an economically viable way. Throughout this study, an analogy test rig is presented, integrating different temperature sensors, two geometric measurement systems and thermal deformation models into one demonstrator. The demonstrator's first applications show insightful results, revealing accordance, but also unexpected deviations between the predicted and measured quantities. Moreover, it provides great potential for validation of more complex modelling approaches and innovative thermal condition monitoring systems for large precision workpieces.

Force sensor integration into machine components is a promising approach to measure spatial process forces, especially, when regarding hexapod structures and kinematics. Rigid still-standing hexapod frameworks, such as clamping tables, are particular suitable for this approach, as no dynamic influences need to be taken into account within the measurement model and they allow a measurement in 6 degrees of freedom. On the other hand, the stiffness of rigid frameworks is reduced by force sensor integration significantly. In addition, many approaches apply joints or flexure hinges to reduced lateral forces and improve the measuring quality, which reduce the stiffness even more. In this contribution, the compliance of a clamping table with integrated force sensors and flexure hinges is determined by experimental measurements using a multiline laser interferometer, by analytic calculation, and by finite element simulation. In conclusion, the amount of stiffness reduction by force sensors and flexure hinges is quantified and different methods for compliance determination are compared.

Research on optimization of technological parameters in micro-EDM is very important, and especially results in multi-objective optimization problem. It led to improve machining performance like machining accuracy, reduced electrode wear and improved surface quality. Recent studies mainly refer to the quality indicators of machining productivity and electrode wear, besides that machining accuracy and surface quality are also very important indicators but published results about them is very limited. In this study, Z Co-Ordinate (Z) and overcut (OC) in micro-EDM using tungsten carbide (WC) electrode for Ti-6Al-4V were decided simultaneously by TOPSIS. Technological parameters which include Voltage (V), Capacitance (C) and Response surface methodology (RPM) were investigated in the presented research work. The results showed that the quality parameters Z and OC at optimal conditions were significantly improved.The surface quality behind the microEDM is also analyzed and evaluated, and it is good.

The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) is, today, widely used to define the optimal conditions for the design stage of product development especially, in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) considering the non-linear properties and non-digital data. In this paper, an approach to identify the several interactions in a MTS is proposed. The MTS contains four methods; Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) method, Mahalanobis Taguchi Adjoint (MTA) method, Recognition Taguchi (RT) method and Taguchi (T) method. The method to use for the analysis is selected based on the system’s properties. For the case of study used in this research, the unit space is created through the RT method and used to calculate the Mahalanobis-Taguchi distances ( MTD ). For the method proposed in this paper, the relationships between control factors and MTDs were firstly clarified by MTS (RT), then the same relationships were clarified using a modified design of experiments method, and the several interactions between control factors in MTS (RT) were finally identified by comparing the two relationships. Then effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated by using a mathematical model.
