Abstract
With the increasing of machine tool feed speed, a large quantity of friction heat is generated on the ball screw system and will cause the temperature rising and thermal deformation along the ball screw that reduces the machining accuracy. The heat accumulated and dissipated are calculated to load to the established model of the Y feed system on a gantry machine tool. The stable temperature field at thermal equilibrium and the unstable temperature field before thermal equilibrium or with the variation of thermal load are gotten. From thermal structure analysis, the thermal deformation is derived. The FEM model is verified by the experiments carried out under the same condition with the simulation.
