This paper proposes a new thermal error modeling methodology called Clustering Regression Thermal Error Modeling which not only improves the accuracy and robustness but also saves the time and cost of gear hobbing machine thermal error model. The major heat sources causing poor machining accuracy of gear hobbing machine are investigated. Clustering analysis method is applied to reduce the number of temperature sensors. Least squares regression modeling approach is used to build thermal error model for thermal error on-line prediction of gear hobbing machine. Model performance evaluation through thermal error compensation experiments shows that the new methodology has the advantage of higher accuracy and robustness.

Thermal errors generally account for as much as 70% of the total errors of CNC machine tools, are the most contributor to the workpiece dimensional precision in precision machining process. Thermal error compensation is an effective way to decreasing thermal errors. Precision mode is a key to thermal error compensation. In this paper thermal error modeling method based on the artificial neural networks (ANN) algorithm is applied for a vertical machining center. Four key temperature points of a vertical machining center were obtained based on the temperature field analysis. A novel genetic algorism-Back propagation neural network (GA-BPN) thermal error model was proposed on the basis of four temperature points. The emulations and experiments prove that there was about a 60% increase in machine tool precision.

Thermal errors are the major contributor to the dimensional errors of a workpiece in precision machining. Error compensation technique is a cost-effective way to reduce thermal errors. Accurate modeling of errors is a prerequisite of error compensation. In this paper, a thermal error model was proposed by using projection pursuit regression (PPR). The PPR method improves the prediction accuracy of thermal deformation in the CNC turning center.

Thermal error modeling method is an important field of thermal error compensation on NC machine tools, it is also a key for improving the machining accuracy of machine tools. The accuracy of the model directly affects the quality of thermal error compensation. On the basis of multiple linear regression (MLR) model, this paper proposes an autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model of thermal error and establishes an accurate ADL model by stepwise regression analysis. The ADL model of thermal error is established with measured data, it proved the ADL model is available and has a high accuracy on predicting thermal error by comparing with MLR models.

Error modeling and compensation is the most effective way to reduce thermal errors. In this paper, a novel approach to predict the thermal error of machine tool based on M-RAN is presented, clustering analysis is used to select the temperature variables, and then an easy and economical measurement system is applied to measure the temperature variables and thermal shift of CNC machining center. The thermally induced errors are estimated in real-time using the trained M-RAN network. The proposed approach is verified through error compensation test.

Great efforts have been made to improve the accuracy of NC machine tools, within which thermal error compensation is one of the most efficient ways. A new thermal error compensation instrument which is based on thermal modal analysis for NC machine tools is introduced in this paper. OMRONsCJ2M-CPU11 is used as microcontroller, and SAILING TECHNOLOGYs STA-A08 temperature measuring modules as temperature transmitter. Through hardware and software design, high precision and stability can be achieved. By measuring several key points temperature and making use of a thermal error compensation theory, real-time thermal error compensation can be output to the machine tool, thus thermal error can be reduced.

Aiming to deal with thermal error of NC machine tool which can cause reduce of machining accuracy, this paper uses an external error compensation which interacts with NC controllers and PMAC multi-axis and then revises the tool path by adding the error tested in real-time by PMAC card. The processing accuracy is improved eventually. This method can compensate machine geometric errors and thermal errors in real-time. Comparing with other methods of error preventing, this method is more effective and affordable.
