Abstract

Crossbeam is the core component of gantry machining center, and plays a crucial role in the dynamic characteristics. The traditional casting crossbeam has disadvantages of architectural complexity, high technical requirements, laborious casting, long production circle, and bad material consistency, which is not suitable for small batch trial production and the structure optimization design. Therefore, a method of welding crossbeam structure design and optimization is necessary. The mathematical model was established by regarding each rib plate crossbeam welding as an independent optimal unit. The ICM was used to optimize the structure and plan the distribution of the rib plate. According to the above method, the optimized crossbeam of the alien stone machining center was reduced by 24.18% for the whole weight and 6.91% for the cost, which met machining accuracy requirement.
