Abstract
Five-axis machine tools, which combine three linear axes and two rotary axes, are required for accuracy in machining complex shapes. In this paper, to clarify the influence of simultaneous three-axis control motion measurements as specified in ISO 10791-6, the measured results using a ball bar and R-test are compared. As the motion trajectories of the linear axes are not identical in both measurement devices, it is expected that the error motions of the linear axes cause different measurement results depending on the measurement devices. Thus, the squareness errors between the linear axes and the error motions of the linear axes are assumed as error factors that influence the measured results in this study. A mathematical model of a five-axis control machine tool that considers the error motions and squareness errors of the linear axis is constructed, and the influence of those error factors on motion accuracy is examined using an experiment and a simulation. As a result, the squareness errors and error motions of the linear axis are observed to greatly affect simultaneous three-axis controlled motion accuracy.
