Prospects for modernization of technological machine tools in the format of the Industry 4.0 concept

Abstract

Background. Digital transformation creates opportunities for the transition of industry to a new level of production, but requires the modernization of technological equipment to a digital technological system. This implies an increase in the level of automation and autonomy of the production position and, as a result, an increase in production efficiency, which is the purpose of the work. Materials and methods. Experimental studies of the cutting process were carried out on an Okuma Genos L300-M CNC machine using conventional and nanomodified carbide plates with a multilayer coating from Sandvik Coromant and CVD and Korloy. Morphological and metallographic studies were performed using the FEI VERSA 3D FIB microscope. Results. The relationship between the durability of cutting plates with a multilayer wear-resistant coating and the value of the thermal EMF of the test pass, as well as the level of cutting forces and their fluctuations with the roughness parameters of the treated surface is confirmed. A method for integrating the CNC with third-party applications and measuring devices for controlling the cutting process in real time is proposed. Proposed method increases the efficiency of processing through the introduction of methods of preliminary and operational diagnostics. Conclusion. A method of increasing the autonomy and automation level of technological equipment is proposed.
