A new modular fixturing system is developed for CNC machining centers in the content of this thesis study. In the proposed fixture, studies are carried on to manufacture precise parts for finish milling operations. Some workpieces are loaded in the proposed fixturing system by using relevant fixture elements. Forces and moments are investigated that are acting during the machining operation. The precision of the machined surfaces is estimated by using Monte-Carlo Simulation. In the experimental section of the thesis, three target pieces are manufactured in a machining center and inspected with CMM. These inspection results are used to evaluate the performance of the developed fixture system. Repeatability of experimental fixture set up is investigated by performing a repeatability test.

Off-line nominal path generation of 6-dof robotic manipulator for edge finishing and inspection processes Nemer, Mahmoud; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) This thesis deals with the development of a Computer Aided Robotic Machining Process Planning package. The main aim of the package is to generate an efficient, collision-free, nominal tool path needed for edge finishing and inspection processes by utilizing a 6-DoF robotic arm. Automation of edge deburring and chamfering consists of two main parts. First part is generating the overall nominal tool path. While the second part focuses on controlling the material removal. The overall nominal tool path planning...
Off-line nominal path generation of 6-DoF robotic manipulator for edge finishing and inspection processes Nemer, Mahmoud; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01) This paper deals with the development of a Computer-Aided Robotic Machining Process Planning package based on SolidWorks. The main aim of the package is to generate an efficient, collision-free, nominal tool path needed for edge finishing and inspection by utilizing a 6-DoF robotic arm. The overall nominal tool path involves analyzing the geometry of the workpiece, determining and designing an efficient collision-free tool path and finally generating the tool path data for the robot and verifying it. This p...
Evaluation of compression algorithms for motion command generation Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2011-04-15) This paper focuses on a direct command generation technique for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine systems. In this paradigm, higher-order differences of a given trajectory (i.e, position) are computed and the resulting data are compacted via data compression techniques. As a part of the command generation scheme, the paper also introduces a new data compression technique titled ΔY10. Apart from this new method, the performances of the proposed generator employing different compression algorithms (suc...
Computer-aided planning and design of manufacturing simulation experiments Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Köksal, Gülser (1996-09-01) An simulation has become a major tool in studying discrete manufacturing systems, experimental design issues have started to receive much attention. Although the importance of proper experimentation is often emphasized in the literature on discrete event simulation, it is neglected in most practical simulation studies. The main reason for this neglect is that the design and analysis of a simulation experiment require expertise in experimental design methodology as well as familiarity with traditional statis...
Modular embedded system design / implementation for mechatronic education and research Nursal, Ali Özgü; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this thesis a modular embedded system for Mechatronics education and research is designed and implemented. Four types of control boards are manufactured and related software is developed at board and PC level. A star like topology is used for boards architecture. One bridge board is responsible for handling communication between the PC and all the other boards that are connected independently to that bridge board. For PC communication Universal Seial Bus (USB), for inter peripheral communication serial p...
