Dynamic Control of the Efficiency of Mechanic Cutting of Material

Abstract

Solution to the problem of improvement in the efficiency of material cutting equipment is an important task in the development of modern mechanical engineering and related areas of science and technology. Various material cutting methods are available at present: mechanical, hydromechanical (hydroabrasive), electrical discharge, plasma, laser, and others. Further improvement in the efficiency of the operation of material cutting equipment is related to the development of rapid methods and tools for monitoring the efficiency of cutting processes. The existing strain gauge means for monitoring the cutting power of materials are limited by the output signal frequency of up to 100 kHz. High-speed control of the efficiency of cutting processes can be carried out on the basis of the developed dynamic method and traditional controls of high-performance material processing equipment with an output signal frequency of up to 1 MHz.
