A controller for a tool drive that collects force data and displacement data from the tool drive. The controller generates a stiffness model representing a workpiece using the force data and the displacement data. The controller further collects a force signal from the tool drive. The controller determines deflection of the workpiece using the force signal and stiffness model. The controller determines a resonant frequency of the workpiece using the stiffness model. The controller modifies an oscillation frequency and/or a rotational frequency of a spindle of the tool drive based on the resonant frequency. The controller also determines a location of a tip of the tool drive using the force signal.

A positive feed tool includes a motor, a power supply coupled to the motor to power the motor, a gear head and a spindle. The gear head is coupled to the motor and operated responsive to powering of the motor. The gear head includes a drive assembly and a feed assembly. The spindle is coupled to the gear head to enable the spindle to be selectively driven rotationally and fed axially based on operation of the drive assembly and the feed assembly, respectively. The feed assembly includes a feed rate oscillator having a spindle feed gear coupled to a differential feed gear. The spindle feed gear is coupled to rotate the spindle to selectively axially feed the spindle. The differential feed gear is selectively coupled to an input shaft turned by the motor. The spindle feed gear or the differential feed gear has a variable pitch diameter.

An assembly, an apparatus, and a method for machining a mechanical part. The assembly includes a parallel robot adapted to be mounted onto a platform under the mechanical part to be machined. The assembly includes a servo spindle mounted on the parallel robot and configured to drive a machining tool to rotate. The parallel robot is configured to drive the servo spindle to translate along the one or more axes with respect to the parallel robot. During the machining of the mechanical part, the parallel robot may drive the servo spindle to translate along the one or more axes under the mechanical part, such that the machining tool may cut out the required shapes and characteristics at a bottom side of the mechanical part.

A tool driving device for hole processing includes a spindle, an electric motor, a guide, an electric actuator, a sensor and a controller. The spindle has a holder for holding a tool for the hole processing. The holder is disposed at a distal portion of the spindle. The electric motor rotates the spindle. The guide has a positioning member for positioning the tool driving device to the workpiece. The electric actuator advances and retreats the spindle relatively to the guide in a rotation axis direction of the spindle. The sensor measures cutting resistance transmitted from the tool to the spindle. The controller is configured to control the electric motor and the electric actuator based on the cutting resistance measured by the sensor so that a rotating speed and a feeding speed of the spindle become a rotating speed and a feeding speed according to the cutting resistance.
