Reliability Modeling and Evaluation Method of CNC Grinding Machine Tool

Abstract

Featured Application: The proposed research aims to provide one accurate and reliable evaluation method for the subsystem and system of electromechanical equipment.Abstract: How to determine subsystem's reliability and evaluate the whole machine's reliability of the CNC (computer numerical control) grinding machine tool is important for reliability design and promotion. Each subsystem was modeled by a different distribution based on collected data and the models were optimized by the modified gray correlation degree, which was called the similar slope and close median gray correlation method. Methods of generating random data were proposed for different models. The reliability evaluation algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulation was studied and the whole machine's reliability of the CNC grinder was evaluated by the algorithm. The evaluation result by the Monte Carlo algorithm was compared using the observed value and the evaluation value by the whole fitting method. The results show that the point estimation value evaluated by the algorithm based on Monte Carlo has high accuracy. The interval estimation by the Monte Carlo method was 20.2% and 38.1% by the observed value and the whole fitting value, respectively, which has more practical engineering significance. The reliability evaluation method can be used to assess the whole CNC grinding machine's reliability in reliability design, and is also one reference for reliability evaluation of other electromechanical equipment.

Operation Assessment of a Hybrid Distribution Transformer Compensating for Voltage and Power Factor Using Predictive Control

“…It is necessary to emphasize that to ensure an improvement in the reliability of the system, a separate study is necessary, which must be carried out considering a modeling and evaluation of the proposal with strategies such as the Monte Carlo method [29], in addition to taking into account the reliability of the same electrical network where the HDT would operate [30].…”

Application of Reliability and Quality Methods to Improving Mean Time Between Failures of Machine Tool Cooling System

“…The results showed that the experimental cost of ensuring reliability was reduced, with an error of less than 10% between the experiment and the simulation. Liu et al (19) utilized the operating data of a grinding machine to build a model of each of its subsystems. They optimized the models through corrected gray correlation.…”
