  • Patent number: 10413984
    Abstract: A method for predicting precision of an electrical discharge machine is provided. In the method, plural sets of process data are obtained while the electrical discharge machine processes workpiece samples. Process features are established based on the process data. Each of the workpiece samples with respect to each of at least one measurement item is measured by using a metrology tool, thereby obtaining measurement values of the workpiece samples with respect to each measurement item. A correlation analysis operation is performed to obtain correlation coefficients. At least one key feature is selected from the process features as representative according to the correlation coefficients. The measurement values of the workpiece samples with respect to each measurement item, and the sets of process data corresponding to the key features are used to build a predictive model for predicting the precision of the electrical discharge machine.

  • Patent number: 10317370
    Abstract: A method for acquiring a dynamic vibration frequency includes the following steps. At least five pairs of vibration measurement elements are selected. A bandwidth range of the vibration measurement elements is determined. The vibration measurement elements in sequence on a first side and a second side, which are geometrically symmetrical to each other, of a main shaft are used to measure vibration displacements in a symmetrical position arranging manner. The vibration displacements measured by the vibration measurement elements of either of the first side and second side are corrected, so as to differentially eliminate an ambient noise. Positions of nodes located on the first side and the second side are calculated. The vibration displacements in the preceding steps are used to deduce dynamic vibration frequencies of main harmonics. A vibration mode of the main shaft is confirmed.
