The Effect of Geometric Error on Machining Accuracy for Machining Center

Abstract:

In order to improve machining accuracy of machining center, the effect of geometric error on machining accuracy was researched by multi-body system theory. Taking a vertical machining center as example, topological structure of the machining center was described by lower body array. Geometric errors of the bodies in the multi-body system were expressed by homogeneous coordinate transformation. Error model for machining accuracy was deduced and geometric errors having great influence on the machining accuracy were identified. The research results show that, straightness errors and linear displacement errors in three directions have direct influence on machining accuracy, and the effect on machining accuracy caused by angle errors are related to the dimensions of the machining center and travel distance of the three axes. The research results provide guidance for analysis on sensitivity of geometric errors.
