Dynamic Modelling and Analysis of Rectangle-Shaped Plastic-Coated Slideways in Machine Tools

Abstract:

The plastic-coated slideways have been widely used for form-generating movement in machine tools. Its dynamic behavior plays an important role in the vibration properties of the whole machine. In this work, according to the situation that researches on this subject were rather insufficient, a theoretical research was analyzed concerning the stiffness and damping characteristics of rectangle-shaped plastic-coated slideways. The mathematical model was firstly suggested especially based on the assembly of the saddle and worktable. Both stiffness and damping characteristics on vertical and horizontal directions were theoretically determined. To derive the governing motion equation of the slideway system, the carriage and rail were considered as rigid bodies and connected with a series of spring and damping elements at the joint face. Moreover, through the Lagrange’s approach, the frequencies of the carriage at vertical, pitching, yawing and rolling vibration mode were identified.
