Remanufacturing System with Chatter Suppression for CNC Turning

Abstract

The paper presents the concept of a support system for the manufacture of machine spare parts. The operation of the system is based on a reverse engineering module enabling feature recognition based on a 3D parts scan. Then, a CAD geometrical model is generated, on the basis of which a machining strategy using the CAM system is developed. In parallel, based on the geometric model, a finite element model is built, which facilitates defining technological parameters, allowing one to minimize the risk of vibrations during machining. These parameters constitute input information to the CAM module. The operation of the described system is presented on the example of machining parts of the shaft class. The result is a replacement part, the accuracy of which was compared by means of the iterative closest point algorithm obtaining the RMSE at the level of scanner accuracy.
