The dynamic characteristics of machine tool directly affect machining accuracy of the final parts. Taking the self-developed HRG ultra-precision polishing CNC machine tool as the research object, the simplified finite element model is established with the finite element analysis software to do the dynamic analysis and the natural frequency is detected as the index of the dynamic performances. Based on the comparative analysis of the natural frequency and vibration modes, the gantry and the supporting frame are recognized as structural weaknesses of the machine tool, and then the modal test is done to verify simulation results. Eventually the structural weaknesses are optimized effectively. The 1st order nature frequency of the optimized gantry and the optimized supporting frame is increased 75.5% and 80.8% respectively so that they have better dynamic performances, resulting in offering higher workpiece quality and process stability.

Higher damping with higher static stiffness is essential for improving the static and dynamic characteristics of machine tool structures. The structural vibration in conventional machine tools, which are generally made up of cast iron and cast steel, may lead to poor surface finish and the dimensional inaccuracy in the machined products. It leads to the investigation of alternative machine tool structural materials such as concrete, polymer concrete, and epoxy granite. Although epoxy granite has a better damping capacity, its structural stiffness (Young's modulus) is one-third as compared to cast iron. Therefore, the present work represents optimization of the structural design of the vertical machining center column by introducing various designs of steel reinforcement in the epoxy granite structure to improve its static and dynamic characteristics using experimental and numerical approaches. A finite element model of the existing cast iron vertical machining center column has been developed and validated against the experimental data obtained using modal analysis. Furthermore, finite element models for various epoxy granite column designs have been developed and compared with the static and dynamic characteristics of cast iron column. A total of nine design configurations for epoxy granite column with steel reinforcement are evolved and numerical investigations are carried out by finite element analysis. The proposed final configuration with standard steel sections has been modeled using finite element analysis for an equivalent static stiffness and natural frequencies of about 12–20% higher than cast iron structure. Therefore, the proposed finite element model of epoxy-granite-made vertical machining center column can be used as a viable alternative for the existing column in order to achieve higher structural damping, equivalent or higher static stiffness and, easy and environmental-friendly manufacturing process.

Machine Tool Structures

Machine tools are used to manufacture components with desired size, shape, and surface finish. The accuracy of machining is influenced by stiffness, structural damping, and long-term dimensional stability of the machine tool structures. Components machined using such machines exhibit more dimensional variations because of the excessive vibration during machining at higher speeds. Compared to conventional materials like cast iron, stone-based polymer composites such as epoxy granite have been found to provide improved damping characteristics, by seven to ten folds, due to which they are being considered for machine tool structures as alternate materials. The stiffness of structures made of epoxy granite can be enhanced by reinforcing with structural steel. The current work highlights the design and analysis of different steel reinforcements in the lathe bed made of the epoxy granite composite to achieve equivalent stiffness to that of cast iron bed for improved static and dynamic performances of the CNC lathe. A finite element model of the existing the cast iron bed was developed to evaluate the static (torsional rigidity) and dynamic characteristics (natural frequency) and the results were validated using the experimental results. Then finite element models of five different steel reinforcement designs of the epoxy granite bed were developed, and their static and dynamic behaviors were compared with the cast iron bed through numerical simulation using finite element analysis. The proposed design (Design-5) of the epoxy granite bed is found to have an improvement in dynamic characteristics by 4–10% with improved stiffness and offers a mass reduction of 22% compared to the cast iron bed, hence it can be used for the manufacture of the CNC lathe bed and other machine tool structures for enhanced performance.

The 3D finite element model of CAKxxx CNC machine tool is established and the static/dynamic characteristics of the machine tool are analyzed with finite element method when the influence of the linear rolling guide (LRG) joint is considered or neglected. The lowest five natural frequencies and vibration modal shapes are obtained in both cases. It shows that when considering the influence of the LRG joint, each of the lowest five natural frequencies is 14 Hz smaller than the results of neglecting the influence, and the vibration modal shapes are more stable. The modal experiment shows that the results of considering the influence of the LRG joint are closer to the actual situation. It also proves that LRG joint has great influence on the dynamic characteristic of the machine tool. It provides an important reference for accurate modeling and dynamic design of machine tool.
