Thermal error modeling and prediction of a heavy floor-type milling and boring machine tool was studied in this paper. An FEA model and a thermal network of the machine tool’s ram was established. The influence of boundary conditions on thermal error was studied to find out the boundary conditions that needn’t to be calculated precisely, reducing the time cost of the work. Superposition principle of heat sources was used in the FEA to get the simulation data of thermal error and temperature. A model based on the simulation data was established to predict the thermal error during the work process. An experiment was performed to verify the accuracy of the model. The result shows that the model accuracy is 87%. The method in this paper is expected to be used in engineering application.

This paper presents a partial least squares neural network modeling method for CNC machine tool thermal errors. This method uses the neural network learning rule to obtain the PLS parameters instead of the traditional linear method in partial least squares regression so as to overcome the multicollinearity and nonlinearity problem in thermal error modeling. The basic principle and architecture of PLSNN is described and the new method is applied on the thermal error modeling for a CNC turning center. After model validation with two groups of new testing data and performance comparison with other five different modeling methods, PLSNN performs better than the others with better robustness.

Through analysis of the thermal errors affected NC machine tool, a new prediction model based on BP neural networks is presented, and ant colony algorithm is applied to train the weights of neural network model. Finally, thermal error compensation experiment is implemented, and the thermal error is reduced from 35μm to 6μm. The result shows that the local minimum problem of BP neural network is overcome, and the model accuracy is improved.
