Parts of geometric error coupled into space error is the main reason that affects machining accuracy of machine tools; therefore, how to determine the effect of geometric error to the machining accuracy and then assigning geometry precision of parts economically is a difficult problem in machine tool designing process. Therefore, based on multi-body system theory, a sensitivity analysis method of geometric error is put forward in this paper. Let’s take precision vertical machining center for an example. Firstly, an accuracy model of machining center is established based on multi-body system theory, and with 21 geometric errors obtained through experimental verification, key error sources affecting the machining accuracy are finally identified by sensitivity analysis. The example analysis shows that the proposed method can effectively identify the main geometric errors of parts that have great influence on volumetric error of machine tool, and thus provides important theoretical basis to improve the accuracy of machine tool economically.

In order to improve machining accuracy of machining center, the effect of geometric error on machining accuracy was researched by multi-body system theory. Taking a vertical machining center as example, topological structure of the machining center was described by lower body array. Geometric errors of the bodies in the multi-body system were expressed by homogeneous coordinate transformation. Error model for machining accuracy was deduced and geometric errors having great influence on the machining accuracy were identified. The research results show that, straightness errors and linear displacement errors in three directions have direct influence on machining accuracy, and the effect on machining accuracy caused by angle errors are related to the dimensions of the machining center and travel distance of the three axes. The research results provide guidance for analysis on sensitivity of geometric errors.

Geometric errors of a machining center can cause great influence on machining accuracy, and these geometric errors should be identified and compensated in the actual working conditions. Taking a three-axis vertical machining center as example, 21 geometric errors of the machine tool were solved. By using the 12-line method based on a laser interferometer, identification principle of the positioning errors, straightness errors, pitch errors, yaw errors, roll errors and squareness errors are presented, and all of the 21 geometric errors of the machining center were identified. Geometric errors having great influence effect on machining accuracy can be identified. The research results provide guidance for analyze of geometric errors of machining center.

Balancing the cost and processing precision of machine tool by the method of error allocation without affecting the machining performances is a critical problem in the Machine tool industry. In this paper, a new accuracy allocation method for multi-axis machine tool based on Multi-body system theory, manufacturing and quality loss costs and relationship between tolerances and accuracy parameters of components is proposed. This optimization method is performed with Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II algorithm using Isight and Matlab software. A three-axis vertical machine tool is taken as an example to demonstrate the method, and the optimization results show that the accuracy allocation method proposed is feasible in the optimization of geometric errors on the premise of satisfying machining accuracy requirements.

This paper proposes an approach to carry out sensitivity analysis of tool axis errors caused by component geometric errors, in order to meet the high precision requirement in holes series machining with mill-turn machine tools. Firstly, ideal kinematic model and real kinematic model considering geometric errors of the mill-turn machine tools are built respectively based on homogeneous transfer matrix and multi-body system theory. Secondly, tool axis errors caused by component geometric errors are simulated using an orthogonal test. Finally, sensitivity analysis of tool axis errors is implemented by means of range analysis and variance analysis.

Machining accuracy of a machine tool is influenced by geometric errors produced by each part and component. Different errors have varying influence on the machining accuracy of a tool. The aim of this study is to optimize errors to get a desired performance for a numerical control machine tool. Applying multi-body system theory, a volumetric error model was constructed to track and compensate effects of errors during operation of the machine, and to relate the functional specifications on volumetric accuracy to the permissible errors on the joints and links of the machine. Error sensitivity analysis was used to identify the influence of different errors (especially the errors which have large influences) on volumetric error. Based on First Order and Second Moment theory, an error allocation approach was developed to optimize allocation of manufacturing and assembly tolerances along with specifying the operating conditions to determine the optimal level of these errors so that the cost of controlling them and the cost of failure to meet the specifications is minimized. The approach developed was implemented in software and an example of the geometric errors budgeting for a five-axis machine was discussed. It is identified that the different optimal standard deviations reflect the cost-weighted influences of the respective parameters in the equations of the functional requirements. This study suggests that it is possible to determine the coupling relationships between these errors and optimize the allowable error budgeting between these sources.

This article proposes a tracing method to identify key geometric errors for a computer numerical control machine tool by cutting an S-shaped test piece. Adjacent part relationships and machine tool errors transform relationships are described by topology of the machining center. Global sensitivity analysis method based on quasi-Monte Carlo was used to analyze machining errors. Using this method, key geometric errors with significant influence on machining errors were obtained. Compensation of the key errors was used to experimentally improve machining errors for the S-shaped test piece. This method fundamentally determines the inherent connection and influence between geometric errors and machining errors. Key geometric errors that have great influence on machining errors can be determined quickly with this method. Thus, the proposed tracing method could provide effective guidance for the design and use of machine tools.
