Determining the operational loads of the hybrid metalworking machines drive

Numerous studies are devoted to determining the operational loads of metalworking machines. They employ various approaches including those based on analytical methods of calculation. However, their use is not always appropriate, since they do not take into account many features characteristic of the actual operating conditions of hybrid metalworking machines. The article proposes a universal method of substantiating the performance specification of the integrated machine-tool equipment based on mathematical modeling of its operating conditions. This technique allows generating objective data on the design loads of machine tools, which enables providing the necessary level of reliability of newly designed machines that have no analogues. The proposed approach provides the possibility of using automated design systems at the initial stage of creating the general concept of new process equipment.
