    This paper deals with a new experimental approach to the analysis of radial, axial, and tilt error movements of machine tool spindles under load. The main focus is on the identification of error spindle movements under different machine operation conditions between 500 - 5000 rev / min and loads in the range of 50 - 500 N. Errors of the spindle movements are measured on the cylindrical workpiece using capacitance sensors for different loads. The analysis of measurements of radial, axial, and tilt error movements of machine tool spindle indicates a dependency of loads and measured errors. The integration of error measurements into novel multi-body dynamic models of machine tool spindles is very important for prediction of machine behaviour during a cutting process and for prediction of workpiece geometric accuracy.

    Three-axes error modeling based on second order dual numbers, Springer-Verlag
    journal article in Web of Science

    The aim of the paper is to employ the dual numbers in the multi axes machine error modelling in order to apply the algebraic methods in computations. The calculus of higher order dual numbers allows us to calculate with the appropriate geometric parametrization effectively. We test the model on the phantom data based on the real machine tool. The results of our analysis are used for the geometric manufacturing accuracy description of the work space, together with the reduction of the measuring time.

    VOLUMETRIC COMPENSATION OF THREE-AXIS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTRE
    journal article in Scopus

    This contribution assesses the possibilities of application of volumetric compensation technology on a small three-axis vertical machining centre. These machine tools are designed for machining of small workpieces with various requirements on dimensional and shape accuracy. Small machine tools do not show large volumetric deviations across the entire working space as it is seen with medium-sized and large machining centres. To test volumetric compensation, detailed measurements on a small machining centre (demonstrator) were performed prior to activation of compensation set; other verification measurements were carried out with activated compensation set. Even if volumetric compensation is deployed, it is necessary to verify the achieved results in an appropriate manner. The accomplished study will offer pertinent conclusions on the appropriateness of the technology to be deployed for selected types of workpieces.

    The present article is dedicated to the identification and interpretation of geometric errors of CNC machine tools. Identification of geometric errors plays a large role in the construction of the so-called "Error maps". These maps can be used to describe the behaviour of the machine in the workspace without load or under conditions of finishing operations. Interpreting the error maps represents a tool to check the state of the machine for the user and to offer the important information for the machine manufacturer. From this information it is possible to identify "weak" points of the machine. Simultaneously, the information on the geometrical errors is used to compensate for machine tools. When constructing the maps, a selection of the measuring device and ambient conditions plays an important role. The paper focuses on the use of measuring equipment LaserTRACER and construction of the error map for the workspace of horizontal three-axis milling machine. It also describes the options of how to monitor the workspace of the machine and their mutual evaluation.

    The article deals with the development of software tools supporting machining process in order to inspect individual energy flows, specifically power on the actuators, air flow and cooling lubricant flow. Interesting time intervals are selected and highlighted. This enables a considerably easier assessment of relationship between actual machining task and its impact on energy consumption. The first part of the article is concerned with the application created for simulation of energy flows in the machine tool with the help of advanced post-processing. That allows software to select to review only interesting data using peaks identifying algorithm. The second part deals with developing of suitable Sankey diagrams visualizations.
