Development of Virtual Prototype for Multi-Purpose Lathe Slide System

다기능 복합가공기 이송시스템의 가상시제품 개발

In the multi-purpose lathe, the design of tilting turret slide system has an important and critical role to enhance the accuracy of the machining process. Tilting turret unit is traveled by 3-axis slide systems. There is a need to design this part very carefully. In this research, the 3-axis slide system with tilting turret unit is researched with two approaches; The first is that 3-axis slide system is modeled and simulated using ADAMS software. The dynamic behavior of this system is visualized by data graphs and dynamic animations. The second is that the slide system is analyzed with the aspect of stress distribution. The slide system is modeled and displayed by PATRAN and analyzed by NASTRAN. The analysis of strain and stress distribution in the each node is prompted and visualized in the computer. The first step of virtual prototype which makes it possible to design economically and effectively is developed.
