Abstract

In this article, the new configuration of fixture was proposed for ensuring the sufficient tool accessibility, which allows carrying out multiaxis machining of levers in one setup. The research based on numerical simulation was confirmed that the proposed fixture corresponds to all the accuracy parameters. Workpieces from steel, cast iron and aluminium alloy were investigated within the simulation. The values of displacements and stresses occurring during machining are less for proposed fixture in comparison with the existing fixtures that was confirmed by the deflected mode analysis. The modal analysis proved that the proposed fixture has much higher value of eigenfrequency than the other fixtures. To optimize the machining, the dependences for displacements and stresses on the cutting depth were determined. Oscillations of the system “fixture–workpiece” during machining were investigated for various manufacturing steps of levers machining of the fixtures from different fixture systems. The results of harmonic analysis showed that the dynamic stiffness of the proposed fixture was higher than that for the dedicated and modular fixtures. The oscillation amplitudes in the places of machined surfaces in the proposed fixture do not exceed the tolerance requirements for lever manufacturing.
