Machine tool operations and processing can cause temperature changes in various components because of internal and external thermal effects. Thermal deformations caused by thermal effect in machine tools can result in errors in processing size or shape and decrease processing precision. Thus, this paper focuses on the analysis of heating during machine tool spindle?s high speed operation, which is the heat source that causes component and structural deformation. In this paper, thermal monitoring was used to build a thermal error prediction model. Temperature change around the spindle was measured with a DS18B20, then multiple regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between thermal deformation quantity and temperature fields at specific points. Finally, finite element analysis was used to build the thermal error model. A solution for the correlation coefficient was obtained using the least squares method. The result of this study verified that finite element analysis can predict front bearing and rear bearing temperature rise, and is consistent with laboratory results. The error in thermal steady-state deformation prediction was less than 2 ?m. This information can be used by the controller to effectively compensate the processing and improve processing precision.

Friction between the guideway and the bench of large-type CNC lathe will cause thermal deformation of the guideway, which causes processing error of the lathe,thereby reduces machining precision of the workpiece. The authors establish the mathematical model of temperature field and thermal deformation of the guideway in the work process, numerically simulate the guideway thermal characteristics by ANSYS finite element analysis software, and obtain the distribution regularities of temperature field and thermal deformation and their major influencing factors, which provide a theoretical basis for optimizing design and thermal error compensation design of the lathe guideway.

The modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of the machine tool table with periodic truss-core structures are analyzed and calculated by finite element analysis software-ANSYS Workbench, then we get the finite element analysis results. After comparing the results with finite element analysis results of the original machine tool table, we come to the conclusion that the dynamic properties of the machine tool table with periodic truss-core structures are better than the original machine tool table’s. It makes a base for optimized design and remanufacturing.

In this paper, iron ladle stress and deformation has been accurately calculated using finite element analysis software ANSYS based on 260t iron ladle in standing, lifting, tipping working conditions. Distribution of stress field was obtained. The stiffness and strength of the iron ladle has been evaluated. The results show that the iron ladle in the standing, lifting and tipping working conditions, structural deformation is small, the strength and stiffness meet the requirements. This research extends the working life of 260t iron ladle. It provides theoretical basis for producing and using of the iron ladle and further optimal designing.

The thermal characteristics of the motorized spindle determines maching qualities and cutting capabilities, and is one of the important factors influencing the precision of the high speed NC machine tool. To improve the performance of the high speed machine tool, it is important to study the thermal characteristics of the motorized spindle. It had been studied in two ways: one is finite element analysis by Ansys software, in which the finite element analysis model was built. According to the actual working condition, the heat source and the heat transfer coefficient of every part are calculated. On this basis, the temperature field and temperature rises were gotten in Ansys software. The other way is temperature rises experiment on the motorized spindle test platform. The result was shown in the form of curve. These two ways shown the same result: the highest temperature rise appears in the area of electromotor, then followed by the rolling bearing .The result provides the necessary theory basis for optimizing the structure of the motorized spindle and establishes a basis for the research and application about the high speed spindle.

Dynamic motion errors of machine tools consist of errors in the mechanical system and the servo system. In this study, a simple method to estimate the dynamic mechanical error is proposed to evaluate machine tool structures. The dynamic mechanical error in the low frequency range is estimated from the static deformation due to the driving force, the counter force, and the inertial force. The error in a high-precision machine tool is estimated for comparison with measurements. Two calculation tools, finite element analysis and rigid multi-body simulation, are used for the estimation. Measured dynamic mechanical errors can be correctly estimated by the proposed method using finite element analysis. The tilt of driven bodies is the major reason for dynamic mechanical errors. When the reduction factor representing the structural deformation is properly determined, the rigid multi-body simulation is also an effective tool. Use of the proposed method for modification planning is demonstrated. Stiffness enhancement of the saddle was an effective modification candidate to reduce the dynamic mechanical error. If the error should be reduced to sub-micrometer level, the location of components should be modified because the Abbe offset and the offset of the driving force from the inertial force must be shortened.

The linear rolling guideway is one of the most essential parts of the machine tool. So it is very important to analyze the dynamic-static characteristic of the machine tool consider rolling guideway and to study the effect on machinery function. The paper’s research is based on a NC machine tool produced by a certain plant of machine tools. Methods of simulating the rolling guideway support are studied, and the configuration of the spring damper elements of the bearing supports are also studied, and the finite element analysis on the CKS6125 machine tool has been made to confirm its dynamic characteristics. Then the finite element analysis models are validated by some experiments.
