Abstract
In this paper, a machine bed will be selected for the complete analysis for both static and dynamic loads. Then investigation is carried out to reduce the weight of the machine bed without deteriorating its structural rigidity and the accuracy of the machine tool by adding ribs at the suitable locations. In this work, the 3D CAD model for the base line and the optimized design has been created by using commercial 3D modeling software PRO/Engineer. The analyses were carried out using ANSYS and Design Optimization is done with the help of OptiStruct (FEM Based geometric modification). The results were shown with the help of graphs to analyze the effect of weight reduction on the structural rigidity of the machine bed before and after the weight reduction and conclusions were drawn about the optimized design. Keywords: Structural rigidity, Design optimization, Dynamic Analysis

It accommodates all the accessories and cutting tools and other necessary equipments for the running of the machine. It is subjected to various static and dynamic forces during the machine operation. Its design is vital for the performance and accuracy of the machine tool. A milling machine is a machine tool used to machine solid materials. Milling machines are often classed in two basic forms, horizontal and vertical, which refer to the orientation of the main spindle. Both types range in size from small, bench-mounted devices to room-sized machines. Unlike a drill press, which holds the work piece stationary as the drill moves axially to penetrate the material, milling machines also move the work piece radially against the rotating milling cutter, which cuts on its sides as well as its tip? Work piece and cutter movement are precisely controlled to less than 0.001 in (0.025 mm), usually by means of precision ground slides and lead screws or analogous technology. Milling machines may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or digitally automated via computer numerical control. Milling machines can

Milling cutters are held in the spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be extended (or the table can be raised/lowered, giving the same effect), allowing plunge cuts and drilling. There are two subcategories of vertical mills: the bed mill and the turret mill. Horizontal mill

Horizontal milling machine. 1: base 2: column 3: knee 4 & 5: table (x-axis slide is integral) 6: overarm 7: arbor (attached to spindle) A horizontal mill has the same sort of x–y table, but the cutters are mounted on a horizontal arbor (see Arbor milling) across the table. Many horizontal mills also feature a built-in rotary table that allows milling at various angles; this feature is called a universal table. While endmills and the other types of tools available to a vertical mill may be used in a horizontal mill, their real advantage lies in arbor-mounted cutters, called side and face mills, which have a cross section rather like a circular saw, but are generally wider and smaller in diameter. Because the cutters have good support from the arbor and have a larger cross-sectional area than an end mill, quite heavy cuts can be taken enabling rapid material removal rates. These are used to mill grooves and slots. Plain mills are used to shape flat surfaces. Several cutters may be ganged together on the arbor to mill a complex shape of slots and planes. Special cutters can also cut grooves, bevels, radii, or indeed any section desired. These specialty cutters tend to be expensive. Simplex mills have one spindle, and duplex mills have two. It is also easier to cut gears on a horizontal mill. Some horizontal milling machines are equipped with a power-take-off provision on the table. This allows the table feed to be synchronized to a rotary fixture, enabling the milling of spiral features such as hypoid gears.
Thin wall milling of aluminum using a water based cutting fluid on the milling cutter Most CNC milling machines (also called machining centers) are computer controlled vertical mills with the ability to move the spindle vertically along the Z-axis. This extra degree of freedom permits their use in diesinking, engraving applications, and 2.5D surfaces such as relief sculptures. When combined with the use of conical tools or a ball nose cutter, it also significantly improves milling precision without impacting speed, providing a cost-efficient alternative to most flat-surface hand-engraving work.

these modeling schemes, the programmer can insert numerous algorithms (functions) which may make the system behave linearly or non-linearly. Linear systems are far less complex and generally do not take into account plastic deformation. Non-linear systems do account for plastic deformation, and many also are capable of testing a material all the way to fracture. FEA uses a complex system of points called nodes which make a grid called a mesh. This mesh is programmed to contain the material and structural properties which define how the structure will react to certain loading conditions. Nodes are assigned at a certain density throughout the material depending on the anticipated stress levels of a particular area. Regions which will receive large amounts of stress usually have a higher node density than those which experience little or no stress. Points of interest may consist of: fracture point of previously tested material, fillets, corners, complex detail, and high stress areas. The mesh acts like a spider web in that from each node, there extends a mesh element to each of the adjacent nodes. This web of vectors is what carries the material properties to the object, creating many elements. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CNC VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE BED WITH “T� SLOT

INTRODUCTION TO FEA Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was first developed in 1943 by R. Courant, who utilized the Ritz method of numerical analysis and minimization of variational calculus to obtain approximate solutions to vibration systems. Shortly thereafter, a paper published in 1956 by M. J. Turner, R. W. Clough, H. C. Martin, and L. J. Topp established a broader definition of numerical analysis. The paper centered on the "stiffness and deflection of complex structures". FEA consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement. A company is able to verify a proposed design will be able to perform to the client's specifications prior to manufacturing or construction. Modifying an existing product or structure is utilized to qualify the product or structure for a new service condition. In case of structural failure, FEA may be used to help determine the design modifications to meet the new condition. There are generally two types of analysis that are used in industry: 2-D modeling, and 3-D modeling. While 2-D modeling conserves simplicity and allows the analysis to be run on a relatively normal computer, it tends to yield less accurate results. 3-D modeling, however, produces more accurate results while sacrificing the ability to run on all but the fastest computers effectively.

This project work deals with “GEOMETRIC OPTIMIZATION OF VERTICAL CNC MACHINE BED USING FEM” to reduce cost and weight Bed is the main part in CNC machine which holds the entire work piece weight in moving condition. Machine is consuming more power to move bed along with parts, so this is an attempt to reduce the bed weight without reducing its strength and capacity. Initially literature survey and data collection was done to understand methodology.

Parametric models of CNC machine parts are prepared and assembly is made using prepared parts and converted into IGES file to transfer into Ansys. Structural and model analysis is conducted to find stress concentration locations, structural behavior according to the material & natural frequency values. Dynamic analysis is conducted to evaluate results in load and vibration conditions. As per the analysis results S-2 glass bed with T-slots is showing good strength than previous models also by using S-2 glass weight of the bed can be reduced up to 65% so better to use bed with T-slot with S-2 glass material.
