Research on Process Quality Prediction and Control of Spindle Housings in Flexible Production Lines.

The characteristics of flexible production lines, i.e., "multiple steps and few processes", increase the complexity of the process and the difficulty of process quality control, but are not conducive for improving the quality and efficiency of a production line. In this study, we use a flexible production line processing spindle box as the research object. Using an extensive data analysis method, we study the key influencing factors of process quality and the prediction and optimization of process quality characteristics, aiming to accurately predict the machining accuracy of flexible production line processes and to achieve efficient quality control. A fuzzy hierarchical analysis-based impact factor model is developed to obtain a process quality impact factor model consistent with the spindle box of a production line. By verifying the prediction accuracy of 24 sets of quality spindle bore data, a prediction model with a relative error of less than 0.01 is obtained, which provides a prediction sample for analyzing potential problems of process quality in a production line. The SPC control principle is used to monitor process quality by using the standard control method, and the change trends between the actual and predicted values of quality characteristics are compared to achieve predictive control of the process quality. The product qualification rate of this control scheme under this monitoring method is 96%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
