Mathematical Model and Algorithm to Optimize the Construction of Adjustable Multi-axis Heads

Current trends in the field of manufacturing systems are mostly connected to the transfer of technical solutions specific to large manufacturing series toward small and medium manufacturing series. Our researches presented in this paper study thoroughly and expand the concept of modularization of multi-tool processing devices in order to obtain a high level of productivity and flexibility of the technological system, as well as a significant decrease of the adaptation costs. To this end, we elaborated and used computing methods, mathematical models, optimizing algorithms and original constructive solutions to develop new modular structures meant to optimize the construction and configuration of adjustable multi-spindle ends. We obtained the highest level of modularization for this type of equipment which integrates from the point of view of organs and is functional from the point of view of performance, highly efficient, in a flexible complex multi-tool system of simultaneous-successive and multi-directional processing.
