Abstract Machine tools are constantly in motion during machining; however, studies have not considered the effect of the dynamic and static characteristics of the machine caused by the movement of the structure over time. In this study, the time-varying moving structure in the spatial coordinate arm is analyzed to improve the spatial accuracy of the motion of a five-axis machine tool in the cutting area. The objective is to design a high-speed five-axis moving-column machine tool and to perform structural analysis of spatial accuracy. We studied the static and dynamic characteristics of a five-axis machine tool, designed and improved its mechanical structure, and optimized its structural configuration. With further analysis, the entire machine structure was enhanced to improve its static and dynamic characteristics. The static and dynamic characteristics of the machine structure were found to directly affect its processing performance and the precision of the workpiece machined by the tool. Through this study, the design technology for speed, accuracy, and surface roughness of the machine tool was further improved.

Dynamic parameters are the intermediate information of the entirety of machine dynamics. The differences between components have not been combined with the structural vibration in the cutting process, so it is difficult to directly represent the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine related to spatial position. This paper presents a method to identify sensitive parts according to the dynamic stiffness-sensitivity algorithm, which represents the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine tool. In this study, two experiments were carried out, the simulation verification experiment (dynamic experiment with variable stiffness) and modal analysis experiment (vibration test of five-axis gantry milling machine). The key modes of sensitive parts obtained by this method can represent the position-related dynamic characteristics of the whole machine. The characteristic obtained is that the inherent properties of machine-tool structure are independent of excitation. The method proposed in this paper can accurately represent the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine tool.

Abstract The demand of ultra-precision micro-machine tools is growing day by day due to exigent requirements of miniaturized components. High accuracy, good dimensional precision and smooth surface finish are the major characteristics of these ultra-precision machine tools. High-speed machining has been adopted to increase the productivity using high-speed spindles. However, machine tool vibration is a major issue in high-speed machining. Vibration significantly deteriorates the quality of micro-machining in terms of dimensional precision and surface finish. This paper describes a design methodology of a closed type machine structure for vibration minimization of a high-speed micro-milling center. The rigid machine structure has provided plenty of stiffness and the damping capability to the machine tool without utilizing vibration absorbers . The models of the machine structures have been generated and assembled in AutoCAD 3D . The performances of the integrated micro-milling machine tools were determined by finite element analysis. The best model has been selected and proposed for manufacturing. Additionally, simulation results were validated by comparing with experimental results. Eventually, after manufacturing and assembly, experiments have been performed and determined that the amplitude of vibration was approaching towards nanometer level throughout the working range of the high-speed spindle. The machine tool was capable to fabricate miniaturized components with fine surface finish.

Nowadays the five-axis machine tool is one of the most important foundations of manufacturing industry. To guarantee the accuracy of the complex surface machining, multi-axis linkage performance detection and compensation of five-axis machine tools is necessary. RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) is one of the basic essential functions for the five-axis machine tools, which can keep the tool center with the machining trajectory when five axes move synchronously. On the basis of RTCP function, a way to detect multi-axes linkage performance of five-axis machine tools is briefly introduced, and linkage error model is built in accordance with the topological structure of machine tool. Based on the feature of the linkage errors of the five-axis machine tool, the error tracing and compensation method is proposed. Some simulations and experiments that verify the error tracing method could locate the linkage error category are established. Therefore, a new attempt to detect and compensate the linkage error of the five-axis machine tool is provided in this paper.

This paper presents a geometric error compensation method for large five-axis machine tools. Compared to smaller machine tools, the longer axis travels and bigger structures of a large machine tool make them more susceptible to complicated, position-dependent geometric errors. The compensation method presented in this paper uses tool tip measurements recorded throughout the axis space to construct an explicit model of a machine tool's geometric errors from which a corresponding set of compensation tables are constructed. The measurements are taken using a laser tracker, permitting rapid error data gathering at most locations in the axis space. Two position-dependent geometric error models are considered in this paper. The first model utilizes a six degree-of-freedom kinematic error description at each axis. The second model is motivated by the structure of table compensation solutions and describes geometric errors as small perturbations to the axis commands. The parameters of both models are identified from the measurement data using a maximum likelihood estimator. Compensation tables are generated by projecting the error model onto the compensation space created by the compensation tables available in the machine tool controller. The first model provides a more intuitive accounting of simple geometric errors than the second; however, it also increases the complexity of projecting the errors onto compensation tables. Experimental results on a commercial five-axis machine tool are presented and analyzed. Despite significant differences in the machine tool error descriptions, both methods produce similar results, within the repeatability of the machine tool. Reasons for this result are discussed. Analysis of the models and compensation tables reveals significant complicated, and unexpected kinematic behavior in the experimental machine tool. A particular strength of the proposed methodology is the simultaneous generation of a complete set of compensation tables that accurately captures complicated kinematic errors independent of whether they arise from expected and unexpected sources.
