Collection and Processing of Big Data for CNC Machine Tool Equipment

The collection and processing of big data of CNC machine tool equipment is the basic link to realize intelligent manufacturing. This process requires the establishment of a perfect data acquisition system, through the deployment of vibration sensors, temperature sensors, current sensors and displacement sensors and other monitoring equipment on the machine tool, real-time collection of various parameter data during the operation of the equipment. At the same time, it is also necessary to integrate the relevant data of the production management system, including tool use records, workpiece machining parameters, equipment alarm logs and other information.

After the completion of data acquisition, strict data pre-processing must be carried out. This includes the use of digital filtering algorithms to eliminate signal noise, the use of statistical methods to identify and eliminate abnormal data, and reasonable interpolation of missing data. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a unified data standard to normalize data from different sources and formats to ensure data consistency and availability.

With the rapid growth of data volume, it is necessary to build a professional big data storage and analysis platform. Distributed storage architecture and cloud computing technology are used to establish a time series database to store equipment operation data, and a big data processing framework is used to realize rapid data retrieval and analysis. These technical means provide reliable data support for subsequent equipment condition monitoring, fault prediction and process optimization.

Big Data-based Equipment Health Status Assessment

The health state assessment of CNC machine tool equipment based on big data is the core technical means to realize predictive maintenance. The assessment system through the integration of equipment operation process generated by multiple sources of heterogeneous data, the use of advanced data analysis methods, to achieve accurate diagnosis of the current state of health of the equipment and the scientific prediction of future performance trends, to provide data support for equipment maintenance decisions.

In the specific implementation process, first of all, we need to build a perfect equipment health assessment index system. The system needs to cover the key functional components of CNC machine tools, including the vibration spectrum characteristics of the spindle system, the temperature rise curve of the feed system screw, the current fluctuation characteristics of the servo drive unit and other key parameters. For each monitoring index, it is necessary to establish dynamically adjusted normal value ranges and abnormal threshold standards based on equipment design parameters and long-term operation data.

At the level of data analysis, the system adopts a multi-dimensional modeling approach. On the one hand, traditional statistical methods such as time series analysis and spectral analysis are used to carry out preliminary feature extraction of equipment operation data; on the other hand, machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine and random forest are introduced to construct equipment health state identification models. By integrating real-time monitoring data and historical operation data, the system is able to accurately identify the abnormal operation mode of the equipment and quantitatively assess the performance degradation degree of each component.

The final output of the evaluation system is the Equipment Health Index, which reflects the overall health level of the equipment by weighting the status scores of key components. According to the preset evaluation criteria, the system classifies the equipment status into three levels: healthy, sub-healthy and fault warning. When the health index is lower than the warning threshold, the system will automatically trigger a multi-level warning mechanism, push alarm information through the visualization interface, and give targeted maintenance recommendations to guide equipment managers to take preventive maintenance measures to effectively avoid unplanned downtime.

The integration of big data and predictive analytics in CNC machining offers significant opportunities for companies to optimize processes, reduce costs and improve product quality. While there are implementation challenges, the potential benefits make these technologies a core strategy for companies to remain competitive in the global marketplace.
