ABSTRACTIn this study, the thermal deformation of a machine tool structure due to the heat generated during operation was analyzed, and embedded cooling channels were applied to exchange the heat generated during the operation to achieve thermal error suppression. Then, the finite volume method was used to simulate the effect of cooling oil temperature on thermal deformation, and the effect of thermal suppression was experimentally studied using a feed system combined with a cooler to improve the positioning accuracy of the machine tool. In this study, the supply oil temperature in the structural cooling channels was found to significantly affect the position accuracy of the moving table and moving carrier. If the supply oil temperature in the cooling channels is consistent with the operational ambient temperature, the position accuracy of the moving table in the Y direction and the moving carrier in the X and Z directions has the best performance under different feed rates. From the thermal suppression experiments of the embedded cooling channels, the positioning accuracy of the feed system can be improved by approximately 25.5 % during the dynamic feeding process. Furthermore, when the hydrostatic guideway is cooled and dynamic feeding is conducted, positioning accuracy can be improved by up to 47.8 %. The machining accuracy can be improved by approximately 60 % on average by using the embedded cooling channels in this study. Therefore, thermal suppression by the cooling channels in this study can not only effectively improve the positioning accuracy but also enhance machining accuracy, proving that the method is effective for enhancing machine tool accuracy.

With the increasing of machine tool feed speed, a large quantity of friction heat is generated on the ball screw system and will cause the temperature rising and thermal deformation along the ball screw that reduces the machining accuracy. The heat accumulated and dissipated are calculated to load to the established model of the Y feed system on a gantry machine tool. The stable temperature field at thermal equilibrium and the unstable temperature field before thermal equilibrium or with the variation of thermal load are gotten. From thermal structure analysis, the thermal deformation is derived. The FEM model is verified by the experiments carried out under the same condition with the simulation.

Feed Drive System

Thermal errors cause serious dimensional errors to a workpiece in precision machining. A feed drive system generates more heat through friction at contact areas, such as the Linear encoder and the guide, thereby causing thermal expansion which affects machining accuracy. Therefore, the thermal deformation of a Linear encoder is one of the most important objects to consider for high-accuracy machine tools. This paper analyzes the increase of the temperature and the thermal deformation of a Linear encoder feed drive system. During temperature variation is measured by using thermocouples , meanwhile, the thermal error of the guide is measured by a laser interferometer. A thermal error model is proposed in this study by using back propagation neural network (BPN). An experiment is carried out to verify the thermal error of the guide under different feed rates and environmental temperature.

This study presents a multiphysics simulation analysis that was performed for the cooling channel of a built-in spindle. The design of experiments (DOE) method was employed to optimize the dimension of the cooling channel, and a practical machining experiment was performed to validate the effect of the design. In terms of the temperature, pressure drop, thermal deformation, manufacturing cost, and initial cost considerations, the paralleling type cooling channel of the front bearing and the helical type cooling channel of the motor were adopted in the study. After the optimal design of the cooling channel was applied, the bearing temperature was reduced by a maximum decrease of 6.7 °C, the spindle deformation decreased from 53.8 μm to 30.9 μm, and the required operational time for attaining the steady state of the machine tool was shortened from 185.3 min to 132.6 min. For the machining validation, the spindle with the optimal cooling channel design was employed for vehicle part machining, the flatness of the finished workpiece was increased by 61.3%, and the surface roughness (Ra) was increased by 52%. According to the findings for the optimal cooling channel, when the spindle cooling efficiency is increased by the optimal cooling channel design, the thermal deformation and warm-up period can be reduced effectively, and the machining precision can be enhanced. This method is an efficient way to increase the accuracy of a machine tool.

Machining accuracy is more often governed by thermal deformation of the machine tool structure than by static stiffness and dynamic rigidity. Since thermally induced errors cannot completely be eliminated at the design stage, the use of control and compensation systems is an inevitable course of action. Existing control systems are based on two different approaches; the use of empirical compensation function, and on-line execution of numerical simulation models. To overcome the limitations of these methods, a new control system has recently been proposed by the authors. This system, which is based on the concept of generalized modelling, incorporates a realtime inverse heat conduction problem IHCP solver to estimate the transient thermal load applied to the structure. With this information, the relative thermal deformation between the tool and the workpiece is estimated and used as a feedback control signal. In previous parts of this series, computer simulation test cases were carried out to examine the dynamic response, accuracy and stability of the system. In the present study, the performance of various components of the control system, specifically, the IHCP solver, the thermal deformation estimator, and the feedback controller are verified experimentally using a three-component structure. The results showed that the derived generalized thermoelastic transfer functions and algorithms are indeed quite accurate in predicting and controlling the transient thermoelastic response behaviour of a predominantly linear structure. The results showed that the a IHCP solver is inherently stable even when the temperature measurements are contaminated with random errors. The excellent computational efficiency of the integrated system is shown to be well suited for real-time control applications involving multi-dimensional structures, achieving a control cycle of less than 0.5 second. The experimental results showed that in real structures higher modes can be present, and therefore, a fourth order deformation model should be used to improve the prediction accuracy. The proposed PID control system, with feedforward branches, was capable of reducing thermal deformations of the order of 200 μm to levels below ±8 μm. These results also demonstrated the effectiveness of artificial heat sources as a control actuation mechanism, in spite of their inherent limitations, namely, thermal inertia, coupledness, and unidirectionality.
