Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of synchronous machining systems, and more specifically, to a multi-station synchronous machining system and machining method for a CNC machining center. Background Art
[0002] In modern manufacturing, CNC machining centers are widely used in the processing of various complex parts. Traditional CNC machining centers usually adopt single-station or sequential processing methods. When processing multiple identical or different parts, each station needs to be processed in turn, resulting in long processing cycles and low equipment utilization. Although some existing multi-station processing methods have improved processing efficiency to a certain extent, there are problems in the multi-station synchronous processing process, such as poor coordination between stations, difficulty in ensuring processing accuracy, and complex synchronous control, which cannot meet the high-precision and high-efficiency processing needs.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a system and method that can realize multi-station synchronous machining in a CNC machining center with high machining accuracy and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, each processing station is provided with a positioning and clamping device for positioning and clamping parts, and each processing station is installed with a variety of sensors for real-time collection of position, surface quality and current data during the processing.
[0013] Furthermore, the process planning module determines the processing procedures and processing parameters of each part through the human-computer interaction interface, and assigns each procedure to the corresponding workstation to achieve balanced distribution of processing loads among the workstations. The process planning module is electrically connected to the workstation equipment module to accurately transmit the process parameters to each processing station equipment.
[0014] Furthermore, the time synchronization unit has a built-in time calculation and adjustment algorithm, which is based on the original processing time of each station process. Calculate the benchmark time T max , and determine the adjustment coefficient α ij During the processing, the processing progress of each station is monitored in real time. When a processing delay Δt occurs at a station k When, according to the formula: Calculate the time adjustment for other workstations and use the formula: Adjust processing speed to achieve time synchronization of each workstation;
[0015] Among them, n represents the number of workstations, m i Indicates the total number of processes at the i-th station, i is the station number, and i∈[1,n], j is the process number, and j∈[1,m i ], represents the original processing time of the jth process at the i-th station, t ij is the adjusted processing time, and Base time T max is the longest processing time of all workstations, which is used as the reference value for time synchronization. k Expressed as the processing delay time of the kth station, Δt ' i It is expressed as the amount of time that the i-th station needs to adjust when the k-th station is delayed, v i Expressed as the original processing speed of the i-th station, v ' i is the adjusted processing speed.
[0016] Furthermore, the position synchronization unit is used to receive the actual position data of the parts collected by the displacement sensors of each station. Combined with theoretical position Calculate the position deviation δX i , calculate the position deviation δX i The formula is: When the position deviation exceeds the set position deviation threshold δXthreshold When, according to the formula: ΔX i =k×δX i Calculate the position compensation amount and send adjustment instructions to the processing equipment to control the equipment to perform position compensation, ensuring the position accuracy of the parts processed at each station is consistent;

[0023] Furthermore, a multi-station synchronous processing method of a CNC machining center comprises the following steps:
[0024] S1. Workstation layout and equipment configuration: multiple processing stations are rationally arranged on the workbench of the CNC machining center. Each station is equipped with independent processing equipment and positioning and clamping devices. According to the type of processed parts and process requirements, appropriate tools, fixtures and sensors are selected and installed and debugged;
[0025] S2. Parts processing process planning: Conduct process analysis for parts to be processed, develop detailed processing routes, break down the processing of each part into multiple processing steps, and determine the processing parameters for each step.

During the machining process, the processing parameters of each machining station are collected in real time and transmitted to the i5 processor via sensors. The i5 processor analyzes and processes the collected data to determine whether the machining process is normal. If an abnormality occurs, the i5 processor promptly issues an alarm signal and automatically adjusts the machining parameters or suspends the process according to the preset fault handling strategy. At the same time, the i5 processor tracks the machining progress of each station in real time. If the machining progress of a station lags behind, the operator is notified to take appropriate measures to adjust the process.
[0028] S5. After processing is completed, the parts processed at each workstation are precision-checked. The actual size, shape, and position error data of the parts are obtained through measuring equipment. The inspection data is compared with the design requirements of the parts, and the processing accuracy deviation is calculated. Based on the processing accuracy deviation, the compensation function of the CNC system is used to adjust the processing parameters of the next batch of parts to achieve closed-loop control of the processing accuracy.
[0029] Furthermore, the time synchronization model uses the longest process processing time in each workstation as a benchmark to adjust the process processing time of other workstations. By optimizing the tool path and adjusting the cutting parameters, the process processing time of each workstation is brought close to the benchmark time. For workstations with longer processing time, the cutting speed or feed rate is increased to shorten their processing time while ensuring the processing quality. At the same time, a time compensation mechanism is established. When a processing delay occurs at a workstation, the processing rhythm of other workstations is automatically adjusted according to the delay time to ensure that each workstation can complete the processing task within the specified time.
[0030] The position synchronization model uses displacement sensors installed at each workstation to collect real-time position information of the processed parts and transmit it to the i5 processor. The i5 processor compares the actual position of the parts at each workstation with the theoretical position and calculates the position deviation. When the position deviation exceeds the set threshold, the CNC system automatically issues an adjustment command to control the processing equipment at each workstation to perform position compensation, ensuring consistent position accuracy of the processed parts at each workstation.
[0031] The motion synchronization model is used to define the motion sequence and motion logic of each processing equipment at each workstation and to establish motion synchronization control rules.
[0032] The technical effects and advantages of this application are:
[0033] Compared with the existing technology, this CNC machining center multi-station synchronous machining system and machining method can realize the synchronous machining of multiple stations in the CNC machining center, which can not only effectively improve the machining accuracy on the basis of improving the machining efficiency;
[0034] The constructed synchronous processing control model ensures the coordination of multi-station processing through time synchronization model, position synchronization model and action synchronization model, so that the precision of parts processed at each station remains consistent, further improving the processing quality of the product;

[0059] Example 2
[0060] As attached Figure 2 A multi-station synchronous machining method for a CNC machining center is shown, and the method includes the following steps:
[0061] S1. Workstation layout and equipment configuration: multiple processing stations are rationally arranged on the workbench of the CNC machining center.

[0069] Example 3
[0070] Taking the processing of a certain type of aircraft engine blade as an example, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail:
[0071] Workstation layout and equipment configuration: 5 processing stations are arranged on the workbench of the CNC machining center.
[0072] Station 1 is equipped with a five-axis machining center for rough machining of blade profiles. A dedicated blade fixture and end mill are installed, and a displacement sensor is installed to monitor the machining position.
[0073] Station 2 is equipped with a high-precision grinder, responsible for the fine processing of the blade surface, equipped with a grinding wheel and a surface roughness sensor;
[0074] Station 3 is equipped with an EDM machine to process blade cooling holes and install electrodes and current sensors;
[0075] Station 4 is equipped with a drilling center for machining blade mounting holes and installing drill bits and speed sensors;
[0076] Station 5 is equipped with a deburring device to deburr the processed blades and install brushes and pressure sensors;
[0077] Enter the information of each workstation equipment, tool, fixture, etc. into the corresponding database.
[0078] Parts processing technology planning: Analyze the processing technology of aircraft engine blades and formulate the following process route:
[0079] Station 1 performs rough milling of the blade profile; Station 2 performs fine grinding of the blade profile; Station 3 performs EDM machining of cooling holes; Station 4 performs drilling of mounting holes; and Station 5 performs deburring. Determine the machining parameters for each process. For example, when rough milling the blade profile at Station 1, the cutting speed is 200m / min, the feed rate is 0.25mm / r, and the cutting depth is 2mm; when fine grinding the blade profile at Station 2, the grinding speed is 30m / s, the feed rate is 0.05mm, and the grinding depth is 0.02mm. Rationally assign each process to the corresponding station to balance the machining load at each station.
[0080] Synchronous machining control model construction;
[0081] Among them, in the time synchronization model, after calculation, the blade surface finishing process at station 2 takes the longest time, which is 90 minutes, and is determined as the benchmark time T max , original processing time for rough milling of blade profile at station 1 For 80 minutes, the adjustment coefficient α is introduced 11 =0.95, then the adjusted processing time Minutes; original EDM time for cooling hole at station 3 70 minutes, α 31 =0.9, t 31 =70×0.9=63 minutes; original time for drilling the mounting hole at station 4 65 minutes, α 41 =0.92, t 41=65×0.92=59.8 minutes; original deburring time for station 5 For 50 minutes, α 41 =0.85, t 41 =50×0.85=42.5 minutes; at this point, the total processing time of each station is close to the benchmark time, meeting the overall time synchronization requirement;
[0082] During the processing, if the processing delay Δt3 = 5 minutes is caused by electrode loss at station 3, the time adjustment amount for other stations is calculated as follows: Minutes, then the time adjustment for station 1 Minutes, the original processing speed of station 1 v1 = 200m / min, the adjusted speed Similarly, calculate the time adjustment amount and the adjusted processing speed of stations 2, 4, and 5.
[0083] Position synchronization model, taking the processing of blade surface in the x-axis direction as an example, when processing at station 1, the theoretical position of a point on the blade surface is Measure position after actual processing The position deviation Set the position deviation threshold δX threshold =0.1mm, since δX1>δX threshold , position compensation is required, taking the compensation coefficient k = 0.8, then the compensation amount ΔX1 = k × δX1 = 0.8 × 0.12 = 0.096mm, the adjusted position CNC system according to Make adjustments for subsequent processing.
[0084] The action synchronization model introduces state variables to describe the actions of each station. The action of blade surface finishing at station 2 is represented by S 21 The rough milling action of blade profile at station 1 is represented by S 11 , because fine grinding needs to be done after rough milling is completed, so S 21 ≥S 11 When S 11 =1 (rough milling completed), S 21 Only then can it become 1 (start fine grinding).
[0085] In terms of time coordination, the preceding actions of EDM of cooling hole at station 3 (action 31) are rough milling of blade profile at station 1 (action 11) and fine grinding of blade profile at station 2 (action 21). Assume that the rough milling end time of station 1 is Minutes, finishing time of station 2 fine grinding Minutes, then minutes, to ensure that the cooling hole processing starts after the preceding action is completed. The post-action of EDM processing of cooling hole at station 3 is drilling of mounting hole at station 4 (action 41). If the drilling start time of mounting hole at station 4 is Minutes, then minutes to ensure that it does not affect the subsequent actions.
[0086] During machining, sensors at each station collect data in real time. When the surface roughness sensor at station 2 detects an abnormally high blade surface roughness value, exceeding a set threshold, it identifies the possibility of grinding wheel wear or improper grinding parameters. An alarm is issued, the grinding speed is automatically reduced, and the operator is notified to check the grinding wheel and adjust the grinding parameters.
[0087] Track the processing progress of each station in real time. If it is found that the drilling progress of the mounting hole in station 4 is lagging behind, notify the operator in time to check the tool wear or adjust the feed rate.
[0088] Machining accuracy compensation: After machining is complete, the blades are inspected for accuracy using an optical measuring instrument. If the blade profile error is found to exceed design requirements, the CNC system automatically adjusts machining parameters for stations 1 and 2, such as tool path, cutting depth, and grinding allowance, based on the error data, for the next batch of blades, achieving closed-loop control of machining accuracy.
[0089] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.

Workstation layout and equipment configuration: multiple processing stations are rationally arranged on the workbench of the CNC machining center. Each station is equipped with independent processing equipment and positioning and clamping devices. According to the type of processed parts and process requirements, appropriate tools, fixtures and sensors are selected and installed and debugged; S2. Parts processing process planning: Conduct process analysis for parts to be processed, develop detailed processing routes, break down the processing of each part into multiple processing steps, and determine the processing parameters for each step. For parts processed simultaneously at multiple stations, rationally allocate the processing stations and process sequence for each part based on the station layout and equipment capacity to ensure balanced processing load among the stations. S3. Build a synchronous processing control model to control each processing station through the time synchronization model, position synchronization model and action synchronization model; S4. Process monitoring and adjustment. During the machining process, the processing parameters of each machining station are collected in real time and transmitted to the i5 processor via sensors. The i5 processor analyzes and processes the collected data to determine whether the machining process is normal. If an abnormality occurs, the i5 processor promptly issues an alarm signal and automatically adjusts the machining parameters or suspends the process according to the preset fault handling strategy. At the same time, the i5 processor tracks the machining progress of each station in real time. If the machining progress of a station lags behind, the operator is notified to take appropriate measures to adjust the process. S5. After processing is completed, the parts processed at each workstation are precision-checked. The actual size, shape, and position error data of the parts are obtained through measuring equipment. The inspection data is compared with the design requirements of the parts, and the processing accuracy deviation is calculated. Based on the processing accuracy deviation, the compensation function of the CNC system is used to adjust the processing parameters of the next batch of parts to achieve closed-loop control of the processing accuracy.
10. The multi-station synchronous machining method of a CNC machining center according to claim 9, characterized in that: The time synchronization model uses the longest process processing time in each workstation as a benchmark and adjusts the process processing time of other workstations. By optimizing the tool path and adjusting the cutting parameters, the process processing time of each workstation is brought close to the benchmark time. For workstations with longer processing time, the cutting speed or feed rate is increased to shorten their processing time while ensuring the processing quality. At the same time, a time compensation mechanism is established. When a processing delay occurs at a workstation, the processing rhythm of other workstations is automatically adjusted according to the delay time to ensure that each workstation can complete the processing task within the specified time. The position synchronization model uses displacement sensors installed at each workstation to collect real-time position information of the processed parts and transmit it to the i5 processor. The i5 processor compares the actual position of the parts at each workstation with the theoretical position and calculates the position deviation. When the position deviation exceeds the set threshold, the CNC system automatically issues an adjustment command to control the processing equipment at each workstation to perform position compensation, ensuring consistent position accuracy of the processed parts at each workstation. The motion synchronization model is used to define the motion sequence and motion logic of each processing equipment at each workstation and to establish motion synchronization control rules.
