Thermal errors caused by spindle rotation is a major factor that influences the precision stability of CNC machine tools. To determine an effective method for reducing thermal errors, a thermal experiment was carried out on the spindle of a vertical drilling center. The thermal deformation mechanism and thermal error variations of the spindle are presented. Based on the generation, convection, and conduction theory of heat, the thermal field model of a spindle system is derived. The relationship between the thermal field and the radial thermal error is established using a physically based method. Finally, the effect of the thermal error model proposed is verified by both a simulation and experiment. The results recorded on the two CNC machining centers indicate that the average fitting accuracy of the theoretical model is up to 94.1%, which validates the high accuracy and strong robustness of the presented model.

Thermal deformation is produced by heat sources in CNC machine tools. Thermal error is one of the main parts in CNC machining errors. The internal and external heat sources were introduced. The research status about thermal errors was analyzed, including identification of thermal sensitive points, precaution against thermal errors and error compensation. Finally, thermal error models were summarized and discussed.

The purpose of this research is to improve the machining accuracy of a CNC machine tool through thermal error modeling and compensation. In this paper, a thermal error model based on back propagation networks (BPN) is presented, and the compensation is fulfilled. The results show that the BPN model improves the prediction accuracy of thermal errors on the CNC machine tool, and the thermal drift has been reduced from 15 to 5 after compensation.

Both multicollinearity and utilization deficiency of temperature sensors affect the robustness and the prediction precision of traditional thermal error prediction models. To address the problem, a thermal error prediction model without temperature sensors is proposed. Firstly, the paper analyzes the temperature field and thermal deformation mechanisms of the spindle of a CNC gear grinding machine in accordance with the parameters, efficiencies, and structures of the machine spindle and bearing. A preliminary theoretical model is established on the basis of the mechanism analysis. Secondly, the theoretical model is corrected according to the actual operation parameters of the machine. Thirdly, verification experiments are carried out on machine tools of the same type. It is found that the corrected model has higher precision in predicting thermal errors at the same rotational velocity. The standard deviation and the maximum residual error are reduced by at least 39% and 48% separately. The prediction precision decreases with the increase in prediction range when predicting thermal errors at different rotational velocities. The model has high prediction precision and strong robustness in the case of reasonable prediction range and classified prediction. In a word, prediction precision and robustness of the model without temperature sensors can be effectively ensured by reasonably determining the prediction range and practicing classified prediction and compensation for thermal errors at different rotational velocities. The model established can be applied to machine tools that have difficulties in arranging sensors or those whose sensors are significantly disturbed.

Thermal errors generally account for as much as 70% of the total errors of CNC machine tools, are the most contributor to the workpiece dimensional precision in precision machining process. Thermal error compensation is an effective way to decreasing thermal errors. Precision mode is a key to thermal error compensation. In this paper thermal error modeling method based on the artificial neural networks (ANN) algorithm is applied for a vertical machining center. Four key temperature points of a vertical machining center were obtained based on the temperature field analysis. A novel genetic algorism-Back propagation neural network (GA-BPN) thermal error model was proposed on the basis of four temperature points. The emulations and experiments prove that there was about a 60% increase in machine tool precision.

The thermal error model of the ucp710 5-axis machine tool was acquired by the homogeneous coordinate transformation, and includes 17 thermal error components. The thermal behavior of the ucp710 machine tool has been tested and the temperature fields were recorded by the compensation control and temperature sensing systems. The developed compensation system has been applied to the ucp710 5-axis machine tool, and the accuracy has been improved about 1 times after compensation, demonstrating a very high potential for the error compensation of CNC machine tools.
