A Machining Test to Reflect Dynamic Machining Accuracy of Five-Axis Machine Tools

Abstract:

NAS (National Aerospace Standard) 979 is the only standard well known in industry describing a five-axis machining test for measuring kinematic errors of five-axis machine tools. As it cannot reflect the tool path characteristics of typical ruled surface machining, five-axis machine tools which passed the NAS test may not have the ability to satisfy the requirement of the real industrial applications. To fill this gap between the NAS test and the real industrial applications, an “S” machining test is proposed in this paper. The case study shows that the proposed machining test is feasible and practicable.
