Abstract

During the working process of high-speed multiaxis machine tools, inertial forces can cause vibration and deformation of mechanical structure, which lead to the dynamic error of tool center point (TCP) relative to worktable and can adversely affect the machining performance. Considering the varying feed positions and accelerations during machining, a parameter-varying multi-rigid-body dynamic model of a 3-axis gantry machine tool is proposed. This model represents the position dependent structural dynamics and inertial forces, which can simulate the dynamic error of TCP relative to worktable within the entire workspace. The results show that the dynamic error in one direction is affected by the feed motions of multiple feed axes. The magnitudes of the dynamic error significantly vary with the position of Z-axis. And the dynamic errors in Y- and Z-direction show different varying trends. Then the theoretical model is used to discuss the dynamic error and position dependency. The expressions of TCP dynamic response and inertial forces reveal the reason why the dynamic errors in Y- and Z-direction show different varying trends.
