AN OPTIMIZATION MODEL OF HIGH-SPEED AND HIGH-PRECISION MACHINING BASED ON MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL

In the multi-axis high-speed and high-precision machining process, the contouring error and the feed rate of tool tip and affect the quality of machined workpiece and the processing efficiency, respectively. The faster feed motion will result in greater tracking error of each axis. The contouring error which directly affects the quality of machined part is caused by the tracking errors of the axes. Obviously, it is difficult to improve the contouring accuracy and increase the feed rate simultaneously. To this end, a novel optimization model is developed here based on the model predictive control method. First, the feed servo model of translational and rotary axes are established, and the contouring error model is afterwards constructed. Subsequently, the optimization algorithm is derived to achieve the high processing speed, and input constraints are addressed to avoid violation of the performance limitation of the drivers. In addition, contouring error constraint, which is obtained by calculating the contouring error of the processed path, is addressed to high contour accuracy. Finally, a simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
