A servo parameter tuning method for high- speed NC machine tools based on contouring error measurement

چکیده
In the latest hgh-speed and hgh-acceleration NC machine tools, the structural vibration is one of the most critical factors to deteriorate the machine's contouring performance. Particularly on such a machine, the parameters in a CNC servo control system must be carehlly tuned, since too high response of the latest CNC units often causes severe structural vibration. Ths paper presents a practical servo tuning method for high-speed machine tools to optimize its contouring accuracies. In order to reduce the structural vibration with the minimum sacrifice of control bandwidth, the tuning is based on iterative measurement and simulation of the machine's contouring performance. A case study shows that a proper tuning of servo parameters significantly reduces the structural vibration and improves the machine's overall contouring accuracy.

Nonlinear and configuration-dependent five-axis kinematics make contouring errors difficult to estimate and control in real time. This paper proposes a generalized method for the on-line estimation and control of five-axis contouring errors. First, a generalized Jacobian function is derived based on screw theory in order to synchronize the motions of linear and rotary drives. The contouring err...
