This paper presents a modeling methodology for the thermal error of machine tool. The temperatures predicted by modified lumped-mass method and the temperatures measured by sensors are fused by the data fusion method of Kalman filter. The fused temperatures, instead of the measured temperatures used in traditional methods, are applied to predict the thermal error. The genetic algorithm is implemented to optimize the parameters in modified lumped-mass method and the covariances in Kalman filter. The simulations indicate that the proposed method performs much better compared with the traditional method of MRA, in terms of prediction accuracy and robustness under a variety of operating conditions. A compensation system is developed based on the controlling system of Siemens 840D. Validated by the compensation experiment, the thermal error after compensation has been reduced dramatically.

Thermal deformations of machine tool are among the most significant error source of machining errors. Most of current thermal error modeling researches is about 3-axies machine tool, highly reliant on collected date, which could not predict thermal errors in design stage. In This paper, in order to estimate the thermal error of a 4-axise horizontal machining center. A thermal error prediction method in machine tool design stage is proposed. Thermal errors in workspace in different working condition are illustrated through numerical simulation and volumetric error model. Verification experiments shows the outcomes of this prediction method are basically correct.

Through analysis of the thermal errors affected NC machine tool, a new prediction model based on BP neural networks is presented, and ant colony algorithm is applied to train the weights of neural network model. Finally, thermal error compensation experiment is implemented, and the thermal error is reduced from 35μm to 6μm. The result shows that the local minimum problem of BP neural network is overcome, and the model accuracy is improved.
