Research on the economic efficiency for technological equipment extending of the kinematic chains on the numerically controlled machines

The article describes the selection of machining holders included in the so called special machining fixture-tools. The equipment presented in the work is readily used by technologists as a solution extending the kinematic chain of the machine tool. It enables multi-axis machining (from many sides) using one item clamping. This paper presents the calculation of productivity and its growth through the use of special equipment. The research was carried out for medium-volume production, which is quite a difficult area in the design of technologies and the study of production costs. In the technical development of tooling and modeling of its usage costs, it was assumed to maintain the required level of dimensional and shape accuracy with a simultaneous significant reduction of operating costs. As part of the work, a model was also developed for determining the break-even point of investment in special machining tools that are used on triaxial milling machining centers.
