In the precision processing industry, maintaining the accuracy of machine tools for an extensive period is crucial. Machining accuracy is affected by numerous factors, among which spindle thermal elongation caused by an increase in machine temperature is the most common. This paper proposed a key temperature point selection algorithm and thermal error estimation method for spindle displacement in a machine tool. First, highly correlated temperature points were clustered into groups, and the characteristics of small differences within groups and large differences between groups were realized. The optimal number of key temperature points was then determined using the elbow method. Meanwhile, the long short-term memory (LSTM) modeling method was proposed to establish the relationship between the spindle thermal error and changes of the key temperature points. The results show the largest root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the proposed LSTM model and the key temperature point selection algorithm were within 0.6 µm in the spindle thermal displacement experiments with different temperature changes. The results demonstrated that the combined methodology can provide improved accuracy and robustness in predicting the spindle thermal displacement.

Abstract: In order to determine that the effect of geometric error to the machining accuracy is an important premise for the error compensation, a sensitivity analysis method of geometric error is presented based on multi-body system theory in this paper. An accuracy model of five-axis machine tool is established based on multi-body system theory, and with 37 geometric errors obtained through experimental verification, key error sources affecting the machining accuracy are finally identified by sensitivity analysis. The analysis result shows that the presented method can identify the important geometric errors having large influence on volumetric error of machine tool and is of help to improve the accuracy of machine tool economically.

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.

This paper attempts to solve the insufficient machining precision of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools, which is induced by the thermal error of the spindle. Firstly, the relationship between machining error and thermal sensitive points was analyzed through experiments. On this basis, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) was improved by particle swarm optimization (PSO). Next, the improved network (PSO-BPNN) was used to build a thermal error compensation (TCE) model for the spindle of machine tools. Taking VM-500T precision machine tool as the object, the temperature data were grouped through the optimization based on thermal imaging, grey relational analysis (GRA), and fuzzy clustering, to determine the temperature sensitive items that causes the thermal error. To speed up network convergence, the PSO algorithm was introduced to optimize the number of hidden layers and the number of hidden layer nodes of the BPNN, lifting the network from the local optimum trap. To enhance the generalization ability, the weights and thresholds of the BPNN were also improved by the PSO. After that, two TCE models were established for the spindle of the machine tool, respectively based on the original BPNN and PSO-BPNN. Contrastive experiments show that the PSO-BPNN TCE model achieved the better generalization ability, and improved the prediction accuracy of the machining error of the CNC machine tool.
