Simulation tests of adaptive control strategies for CNC machine tools
The issue addressed in the article concerns the current needs and possibilities of computer-aided design of adaptive control strategies in machining processes. A simulative method of selecting the adaptive feed control strategy while rough turning materials difficult to machine, effective and inexpensive in its implementation, based on controlling the load placed on the machine's drives, has been presented. The results of a number of virtual tests of the proposed feed control strategy have been included, while paying particular attention to the stability of the machining process during moments of sudden change in the machining allowance. The obtained results meet the accepted quality indicators of the control algorithm. At the same time, the experiences collected by the author while conducting the tests confirmed the complexity of the issue and the resulting necessity to implement a comprehensive simulation testing program.
