    System benchmark of CAD-CAM in the area of tool making CAD-CAM Systembenchmark im Werkzeugbau Juan Calejero Martínez Matrikelnummer: 11806533 Institut für Fertigungstechnik Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Franz Haas Technischen Universität Graz Fakultät für Maschinenbau und Wirtschaftswissenschaften Graz, 10.05.2019 Acknowledgments Firstly, thanks to the Technical University of Graz and the whole Institute of Production Engineering (IFT) for giving me the possibility of taking part in such an interesting and challenging project. Second, thanks to my thesis coordinators, Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Franz Haas and Dr.techn. Markus Brillinger, for their time and the effort that they put in this project. Third, thanks to the Styrian forging company for giving me the opportunity to improve their CAD/CAM software systems, for its sympathy and attitude towards the project. Especially, to the forging die making department management and employees for their attention and collaboration towards the obtention of results. III Abstract In the following thesis a benchmark for CAD/CAM systems in the area of tool making is explained. This benchmark is adapted to the specific requirements existing in a hot-forging company located in the region of Styria (Austria). The mid-sized company demands an improvement of the current software situation to enhance the efficiency of the CAD/CAM processes and its landscape towards future digitalization processes. Due to the broad spectrum of CAD/CAM software systems existing in today’s market, it might be challenging to choose one software system that really fits to the requirements. In order to solve this situation, a benchmark is done.

  • Influence of Effective Milling Strategies on the Residual Stress
    ® 2016 a *+ *6 */01- . - / w"#$ - 9 INFLUENCE OF EFFECTIVE MILLING STRATEGIES ON THE RESIDUAL STRESS PAGÁ Marek, MALOTOVÁ Šárka, SADÍLEK Marek, PETR K Jana, ZLÁMAL Tomáš, KRATOCHVÍL Ji í VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic, EU [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract The article deals with the evaluation of residual stress after machining of surfaces using effective milling strategies programmed by CAM systems. Milling of the shaped parts containing pockets and grooves, the cutting tool must be driven into corners with lower feed rate, because angle of entry, cutting depth increase and then a chip is tamped and leaving from the place of cut is very difficult. Application of standard strategies affects the beginning of tool wear, decreased durability and tool life, raised roughness parameters of the machined surface and increased residual stress. Aspects of efficient milling strategies programmed by CAM systems allow to machine with the entire cutting length of the tool with a constant angle of entry for the entire machining time. These strategies have a positive effect on residual stress in the material. It was confirmed by the machining test of an experimental piece from material Toolox44. The residual stress was measured by non-destructive method with using the device Proto iXRD operating on the principle of X-Ray diffraction. This measurement was realized in cooperation with the Department of Machining and Manufacturing Technology at University of Žilina in Žilina. Keywords: Residual stress, X-Ray diffraction, machining, milling strategy, CAM systems 1.

  • Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives
    Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives Cutting MoldslDies from Scan data Rao S. Vadlamudi Venture Engineering, Research & Development, 1027 E. 14 Mile Rd., Troy, MI-48083 Keywords Optical scanners, duplicating dies/molds, cam software, scan data, stl files Abstract This paper discuss the state ofthe art technology in duplicating an existing mold or die using digitized data from Optical scanners, instead of using traditional "copy milling". Both the technical results and experience from the process to achieve these results are expressed. The main process is discussed highlighting the benefits of using new technology versus copy milling or from surface. The main process consists of : 1) Scanning: An existing mold or die is scanned using Optical scanners. The software and hardware used to scan the die/mold are described in detail with the advantages of using Optical scanners versus laser scanners. 2) Data preparation: Once the die/mold is scanned, the data is pre-processed to read to any CAD/CAM systems. An STL (Steriolithography format) file is created for cutterpath generation and section lines are created, in case if surface development is required, for other applications. 3) Creating toolpaths using CAM software : Major issues in cutting the scan data are discussed. 4) Cutting p-20 steel on CNC mlc 5) Quality Check: Checking the die/mold with the following procedures a) CMM machine, b) Using the same scanner. In this process, we compare the dimensional accuracy of duplicated die/mold with original die/mold using Optical scanners and CMM machines. We cut one die for Chrysler Corporation using the above process and the results are very impressive.
