The influence of component errors on the final error is a key point of error modeling of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which the errors in mechanical parts accumulate to result in the component errors and then impact the final error of CNC machine tool has not been identified; the identification of this mechanism is highly relevant to precision design of CNC machine. In this study, the error modeling based on the Jacobian-torsor theory is applied to determine how the fundamental errors in mechanical parts influence and accumulate to the comprehensive error of single-axis assembly. First, a brief introduction of the Jacobian-torsor theory is provided. Next, the Jacobian-torsor model is applied to the error modeling of a single-axis assembly in a three-axis machine center. Furthermore, the comprehensive errors of the single-axis assembly are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation based on the synthesized error model. The accuracy and efficiency of the Jacobian-torsor model are verified through a comparison between the simulation results and the measured data from a batch of similar vertical machine centers. Based on the Jacobian-torsor model, the application of quantitative sensitivity analysis of single-axis assembly is investigated, along with the analysis of key error sources to the synthetical error ranges of the single-axis assembly. This model provides a comprehensive method to identify the key error source of the single-axis assembly and has the potential to enhance the tolerance/error allocation of the single axis and the whole machine tool.

The influence of component errors on the final error is a key aspect of error modeling of CNC machine tool. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which the errors in mechanical parts accumulate to result in the component errors and then impact the final error of CNC machine, has not been identified; the identification of this mechanism is highly relevant to precision design of CNC machine. In this study, error modeling based on the Jacobian-torsor theory is founded to determine the mechanism by which fundamental errors in mechanical parts influence the comprehensive error of single-axis assembly. Firstly, the constraints of small displacement torsors (SDTs) for typical features and the statistical solution are proposed to perfect the modified Jacobian-torsor model theoretically. Next, the modified Jacobian-torsor model is applied to the error modeling of a single-axis assembly in a three-axis machine center. Furthermore, the comprehensive errors of the single-axis assembly are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation based on the synthesized error model. The accuracy and efficiency of the modified Jacobian-torsor model are verified through a comparison between the simulation results and the measured data from a batch of similar vertical machine centers. Based on the modified Jacobian-torsor model, the application of quantitative sensitivity analysis of single-axis assembly is investigated, along with an analysis of the analysis of key error sources to the synthetical error ranges of the single-axis assembly. This model is providing a comprehensive method for the better understanding of the key error source of the machine tool and has the potential to enable error allocation and precision improvement of the assembly and the whole machine tool in future.

Computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool plays an extremely significant role in any manufacturing industry due to its automation and high accuracy. Keeping the CNC machine tool at its highest performance to meet the demand of high accuracy machining is always significant. To maintain the accuracy of a machine tool over the time, it is important to measure and compensate the geometric error, one of the main error source of machine tool, especially when the machine get old. There are totally 21 geometrical errors in a 3-axis machine tool including three translational errors and three rotational errors for each axis and three perpendicular error (Squareness) within three axes of the machine. This paper presents an economical and simple method for measuring the geometric error of a 3-axis CNC machine tool based on the machining of actual samples. Three samples for each axis will be machined following a design cutting path. The samples will then be measured using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The collect data will be used for estimating the geometric errors. The volumetric errors will be then computed and verified through machining of 3D geometries.

The computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool was investigated and the dynamics model for the servo feed system was established. Based on the fixing constraint of the ball screw, the mathematical models of axial stiffness and torsion stiffness are constructed. According to the effects of stiffness on the dynamic performance, the simulation model for CNC machine tool feed system with stiffness considered was set up by the dynamic simulation tool Simulink, and a curve representing the performance of the system was obtained. To reduce the effect of stiffness on the system, the feedforward control strategy is used for stiffness compensation. The simulation results show that the stability and response performances of the system are improved and the steady-state error of the system is reduced by the control strategy.

The backlash compensation has a great effect on the synthetical precision of CNC machine tool. Here, the measuring and backlash compensating technologies were investigated for high-speed CNC machine tool. Following, the backlash compensation of the synthetical geometric error of the interpolatimg movement and the evaluation system of position accuracy were proposed during CNC machine tool processing. The results indicate that the basic feature of error is established and provides a basis for putting forward the new error measurement method under the essential measuring condition. It also could be applied for different types of error compensation, shows that the backlash of the milling processing could be well compensated.
