Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If complex calculation is used to diagnose machining condition from abnormal machining operation, then abnormality detection capability is improved, but ease of specifying predetermined item whose machining accuracy lowers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vibration detection system into multiple vibration sensors positioned at specific locations (spindle, tool, workpiece). Each sensor independently detects vibrations, and the determination portion specifies the affected machining item based on which sensor detected the abnormality, eliminating complex calculations while maintaining diagnostic capability.
2Measurement precision
If multiple vibration sensors are mounted at plurality of positions, then measurement precision of vibration source location is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by placing vibration sensors at specific critical locations (spindle, tool, workpiece) where vibrations originate. Each position monitors specific machining aspects, enabling precise localization of vibration sources without requiring comprehensive coverage that would increase complexity.
