Uncertain Parameters in Thermal Machine-Tool Models and Methods to Design their Metrological Adjustment Process

Abstract:

The measures taken to improve the thermal behaviour of machine tools are based on thermal models. The models are applied to support the design process and to correct the machine tool operation in a control-based way. Especially the models for correction purposes include uncertain parameters that cannot be estimated with sufficient accuracy. Thus these parameters have to be adjusted by means of measurements. During the adjustment process, a broad diversity of machine behaviour and model characteristics has to be taken in to account. Therefore, substantial time, effort and expert knowledge are required. To identify the key expenses, a generalized and systematic analysis of the adjustment process was carried out. First, the typical design of the models, the parameters of the sub models and the current adjustment procedure were investigated. Based on the results of the analysis, support requirements were identified. Afterwards first methods and software tools for efficient support were developed. This strategy is demonstrated using the example of a hexapod strut model.
