Abstract

Real-time thermal error compensation of machine tool feed drive in general can be separated into three steps such as modeling, measurement and compensation. In the previous report, as the parts of the thermal error compensation system, component heat generation, compensation method, thermal model, mathematic model and calculation method were studied respectively. And a series of simulations was carried out in several kinds of working condition. And then, in order to discuss the correctness of the developed ball screw thermal error compensation system, a series of tests contains axial deformation, positioning accuracy, temperature variation and temperature distribution was carried out in the same working condition of prediction. As the results, the test data well confirmed the correctness of the developed ball screw thermal error compensation system.
