Research and development of a new five-axis automatic work center, with a tilting table and a minimum quantity lubrication system (MQL) and with modularity features. Design of various functional groups and machine repairs using 2D / 3D Solidworks / autocad CAD modeling software, FEM analysis, 2D drawing, technical report writing. Control and expediting activities at the welded suppliers; Development of a procedure for the validation of machines and systems during testing (reference standards UNI ISO 230-1 ÷ 6 and 10791-1 ÷ 12). Geometric tests through the use of lines and squares; Ball Bar tests and analysis (circular hysteresis, inversion peaks, play and lateral play, orthogonality, straightness, scale error, cyclic error, servomotors, etc.); tests, analysis and compensation through the use of interferometric laser. Results evaluated by diagnostic trace in% and in mm, Diagnostic statistics, Circularity according to UNI ISO 230-4. The results obtained from the laser tests were analyzed and displayed using dedicated software according to various International Regulations (NMTBA, ANSI B5.54, VDI, BSI, JIS, ISO). For each type of test a test card was built to run on the machine with a graphical schematization of the activity to be performed, a table in which to insert the results of the surveys and the correct procedure for carrying out each test, in accordance with the standard of reference. The cards also included the equipment needed to carry out the surveys. Experience abroad: OPEL - Aspern, Austria, to verify the work cycle times of the "engine change" assembly line. Show less
