Improve Machining Productivity through Dynamic Analysis and Machine Learning (55 HOURS)

Dynamic Analysis and Simulation_Banner

Milling and Turning dynamics analysis and simulation are critical for achieving high productivity from precision machined components, which are of great economic importance to any precision industry including component machining, machine tool, mould-die, aerospace, computer and defence. This course provides participants with practical and systematic training on machining dynamics analysis and simulation technologies that can be used to achieve high productivity with good surface quality, as well as high geometrical accuracy and efficiency.

Why This Course

On completion of this unit, participants will have the knowledge and application skills required to improve machining productivity through dynamics analysis and simulation.

These skills include:

  • Scientific transformation in machining industry
  • Turning vibration tests and process optimisation: Analysis of insert, tool holder, machine configuration
  • Control of machining parameters against turning vibration Identifying the causes of a machining chatter
  • Selecting a right cutting tool for minimisation of machining vibration
  • Analysing the dynamic characteristics of toolings using modal tests Identifying characteristics of workpiece material that affect machining chatter
  • Analysing machining stability lobes to prevent machining chatter
  • Configuring the procedure for using a machining dynamic toolkit for optimising a machining process
  • Analysing machining units and generating stability lobes using a machining dynamics toolkit
  • Developing dynamics databases of machine tools and toolings for high productivity
  • Demonstrating how to improve material removal rate using dynamics analysis and stability lobe
  • Demonstrating the methodology for improving machining processes with high productivity using a machining dynamics toolkit

What You Will Learn

What you will learn

This course module aims at providing participants with practical and systematic training in machining dynamics analysis and simulation technologies that can be used to achieve high productivity with good surface quality, high geometrical accuracy, and high efficiency. The program scope covers virtual machining simulations, CNC verification, virtual training labs, fundamentals of machining dynamics, influences of tooling’s geometry on machining stability, dynamics analysis of machining units, dynamics characteristics of work material, generation of machining stability lobes, operation of machining dynamics toolkit, know-how to improve material removal rate, and how to improve machining productivity using dynamics toolkit. Real case studies and demonstrations will be performed at each participant’s shopfloor, showcasing productivity improvements on actual products in various machine tool structures.

    Eligible for SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

    SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

    The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) was first introduced during the Singapore’s Budget 2020 and then recently expanded to a larger group of employers in Budget 2022. It encourages employers to invest in enterprise transformation and capabilities of their employees. Eligible employers will receive a one-off S$10,000 credit to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs for supportable initiatives, over and above the support levels of existing schemes.

    Submission of SFEC Claim

    Employers are required to submit their SFEC claims manually via its microsite if they fulfil any of the following scenarios:

    • Employers have sent their foreign employees (excluding foreign employees who hold Long-Term Visit Pass Plus) for training on a SFEC eligible course;

    Employers can only submit the claims for SFEC after their employees have completed the training course(s). Click here to download the SFEC Claim e-guide.

    NOTE: You will require a Corppass account with "EPJS_User" role assigned prior to login to your account to manage your claims.

    If you are unsure whether your company is eligible for SFEC, you may submit an enquiry to Enterprise Singapore (ESG) via here for their response.
