Abstract

The course "Machine tool metrolgy" deals with the principal design of machine tools, their spindles and linear axes, with possible geometric, kinematic, thermal and dynamic errrors of machine tools and testing these errors, with the influence of errors on the workpiece (error budgeting), with testing of drives and numerical control, as well as with checking the machine tool capability.

Objective

Knowledge of - principal design of machine tools - errors of linear and rotational axes and of machine tools, - influence of errors on the workpiece (error budgeting) - dynamics of mechanical systems - geometric, kinematic, thermal, dynamic testing of machine tools - test uncertainty - machine tool capability

Content

Metrology for production, machine tool metrology - basics, like principal machine tool design and machine tool coordinate system - principal design and errors of linear and rotaional axes - error budgeting, influence of machine errors on the workpiece - geometric and kinematic testing of machine tools - reversal ,easurement techniques, multi-dimensional machine tool metrology - thermal influences on machine tools and testing these influences - test uncertainty, simulation - dynamics of mechanical systems, dynamic error sources - machine tool dynamics and the engineering tools modal analysis and finite lement method (FEM) - testing of drives and numerical control - machine tool capability
