Abstract
This paper presents the results of a detailed thermal analysis of the Mori Seiki NMV 5000 DCG machine tool at IWF / ETH in Zurich with focus on the rotary axes. The rotary axes are characterized in detail regarding their position and orientation errors as a function of the underlying thermal load, contributing significantly to the overall accuracy of the 5 axis machine tool. A physical model is presented, which allows the simulation of the thermal behavior of the rotary axes based on the power input to the drives of the rotary axes and the heat conduction in a swivelling rotary table unit and into environment. This enables an external onlinecompensation of thermal errors and is verified and validated.
