OPTIMIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF SLANT BED - A REVIEW

For the Mechanical Design Engineering we have face many complex problem of structural design, the solution of that type of problems are not possible with analytical methods. In such case we have to use the Numerical Technique known as “Finite Element Analysis (FEA)”. FEA is a most powerful Numerical Technique for the solution of a very complex mechanical design pr oblem. In present case, matter is discussed with Finite Element Analysis of slant bed of CNC - Turning center. The machine tool - bed structure has a great influence on the overall performance of a machine. With the development of high speed and high precision of CNC machine, the requirements of the static and dynamic performance of the machine tool structural components have become more significant. The two functional requirements of machine tool bed for machine tools are high structural stiffness and high dam ping. The previous work has been done on individual component and supporting structure by some researchers. Here, any individual component plays an important role and have a great influence on produ ctivity and quality of product.
