Abstract
In order to improve the machining accuracy of a gantry machining center, structural bionic design for column was conducted. Firstly, the bionic design method for stiffener plate structure was established based on distribution principles of gingko root system. The bionic design method was used to improve column structure of the gantry machining center, and three kinds of bionic columns were put forward. The finite element analysis on original and bionic columns indicates that the mass of the column with the best bionic stiffener plate structure is reduced by 2.74% and the first five order natural frequencies are increased by 6.62% on average. The correctness of column's bionic design method proposed in this paper was verified by the static and dynamic experiments. Finally, the bionic principles for stiffener plate of column were concluded, which provides a new idea for updating traditional design concepts and achieving lightweight structure of machine tool components.
