NAME Micromachining and precision machining cell

DESCRIPTION

Micromachining and precision machining cell for research of working conditions in the machining of small parts. The cell consists of a micro-milling machine and a micro-lathe. The cell is completed with equipment that evaluates the surface integrity conditions resulting from working parameters employed in turning, milling and broaching (off line/on line). Output parameters such as cutting forces, temperature, tool wear, roughness, residual stresses, and material damage can be measured. This determines the optimum process window parameters to be employed. It also has software for predicting process variables based on input parameters.
