The effect of geometric error on machining accuracy was researched by multi-body system theory, as well as homogeneous coordinate transformation method. Taking a vertical machining center as example, topological structure of the machine tool was described by lower body array. Lower body array of the machining center, motion freedom between adjacent bodies and geometric errors of the vertical machining center were analyzed. 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 influence on the machining accuracy were identified. The research results provide guidance for analyze of geometric errors on machining accuracy.

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.

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.

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.

Geometric error has significant influence on the processing results and reduces machining accuracy. Machine tool geometric errors can be interpreted as a deterministic value with an uncertain fluctuation of probabilistic distribution. Although, the uncertain fluctuation can not be compensated, it has extremely profound significance on the precision and ultra-precision machining to reduce the fluctuation range of machining accuracy as far as possible. In this paper, a typical 3-axis machine tool with high precision is selected and the fluctuations in machining accuracy are studied. The volumetric error modeling of machine tool is established by multi-body system (MBS) theory, which describes the topological structure of MBS in a simple and convenient matrix form. Based on the volumetric error model, the equivalent components of the errors for the three axes are established by reducing error terms. Then, the fluctuations of equivalent errors and the machining accuracy in working planes are depicted and predicted using the theory of stochastic process, whose range should be controlled within a certain confidence interval. Furthermore, the critical geometric errors that have significant influence on the machining accuracy fluctuation are identified. Based on the analysis results, some improvement in the machine tool parts introduced and the results for the modified machine show that the prediction allow for reduction in errors for the precision and ultra-precision machining.

Traditional approaches about error modeling and analysis of machine tool few consider the probability characteristics of the geometric error and volumetric error systematically. However, the individual geometric error measured at different points is variational and stochastic, and therefore the resultant volumetric error is aslo stochastic and uncertain. In order to address the stochastic characteristic of the volumetric error for multiaxis machine tool, a new probability analysis mathematical model of volumetric error is proposed in this paper. According to multibody system theory, a mean value analysis model for volumetric error is established with consideration of geometric errors. The probability characteristics of geometric errors are obtained by statistical analysis to the measured sample data. Based on probability statistics and stochastic process theory, the variance analysis model of volumetric error is established in matrix, which can avoid the complex mathematics operations during the direct differential. A four-axis horizontal machining center is selected as an illustration example. The analysis results can reveal the stochastic characteristic of volumetric error and are also helpful to make full use of the best workspace to reduce the random uncertainty of the volumetric error and improve the machining accuracy.
