The initial concern of this paper is to establish the general relationships between vibration testing using a static machine tool, and vibration testing using a machine tool under dynamic conditions, obtaining the frequency response by a pulse technique. The application of pulse testing to determine the dynamic characteristics of a rotating machine tool spindle is investigated. The characteristics of a static spindle are contrasted with the characteristics at different rotational speeds of the same spindle while also noting any effect of table feed. The capabilities, advantages, and limitations of the testing method are discussed with respect to mounting conditions and physical aspects of the machine tools examined.

A machine tool is an assembly structure fitted by some moveable substructures, which the relative motion between the substructures creates normal and limit operating positions. Along with the substructures moving, the distributions of masses, stiffness and damping of the machine in space vary, leading to variety of structure distributions and dynamic properties. For exploring the dynamic properties distributions of machine tools, this paper presents a testing method under practical operational excitations, which is under operating excitations from remaining unbalanced value in the spindle, and collecting vibration signals of time and frequency at the spindle foreside at working positions. To identify resonance characteristics, a judging matrix is established by comparing vibration energy and vibration amplitude at 1st octave. By this method, MDH50 active pole horizontal machining center is tested, and the dynamic characteristics is determined. It reveals that dynamic characteristics of resonance come from the substructure independent resonance and their superposition in operating excitation. For verifying this result, FEA is conducted, in which 20 nodes brick element and spring element are applied to build the model entities and interfaces. The analysis result by FEM is consistent to the testing results. The research provides foundation for how setting up machining programs to avoid the resonance vibration of the machine in the operating.

This paper proposes a design optimization method in which simplified structural models and standard mathematical programming methods are employed in order to optimize the dynamic characteristics of machine-tool structures in practical applications. This method is composed of three phases: (1) simplification, (2) optimization, and (3) realization. As design variables employed in this optimization are greatly reduced, machine-tool structures are optimized effectively in practice. With large design changes being conducted through this multiphase procedure, dynamic characteristics of machine tools can be greatly improved. This method is demonstrated on a structural model of a vertical lathe.

Dynamic parameters are the intermediate information of the entirety of machine dynamics. The differences between components have not been combined with the structural vibration in the cutting process, so it is difficult to directly represent the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine related to spatial position. This paper presents a method to identify sensitive parts according to the dynamic stiffness-sensitivity algorithm, which represents the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine tool. In this study, two experiments were carried out, the simulation verification experiment (dynamic experiment with variable stiffness) and modal analysis experiment (vibration test of five-axis gantry milling machine). The key modes of sensitive parts obtained by this method can represent the position-related dynamic characteristics of the whole machine. The characteristic obtained is that the inherent properties of machine-tool structure are independent of excitation. The method proposed in this paper can accurately represent the dynamic characteristics of the whole machine tool.

Abstract With the development of machine tools trending toward high precision, intelligence, multi-axis, and high speed, the improvement of the processing performance and rigidity of the machine is considerably important. The objective of this study is to design of a high-speed five-axis moving-column machine tool and perform structural analysis and optimization. We study the static and dynamic characteristics of the five-axis machine tool, design and improve the mechanical structure, and optimize the structural configuration of the machine. The entire machine structure is further analyzed and enhanced to improve its static and dynamic characteristics, including static rigidity, modal, transient, and spectral response characteristics. The static and dynamic characteristics of the machine structure directly affect the machine processing performance, and further affect the work piece precision machined by the tool. Through this study, the design technology for speed, accuracy, and surface roughness of the machine tool are further improved.

Not only dynamic characteristics of machine tool structures but also those of workpiece fixtures are important in machine tools as they directly influence the dynamic rigidity at a cutting point. In this paper, the effects of damping characteristics of slideways on the dynamic characteristics of workpiece fixtures mounted on machine tool tables have been clarified both theoretically and experimentally. Furthermore, a design criterion of workpiece fixtures has been suggested.

The joint interface plays a significant role in machine tools and other machineries. A novel type of joint which consists of oily porous material was proposed in the paper. A test system for identifying the unit area dynamic characteristic parameters of Fe-based joint interfaces were represented. The stiffness and damping parameters were compare to the conversional structures. The result showed that the joint which contains an oil film interlayer formed by porous and steel was superior to the joint with non-media formed by steel in stiffness and damping characteristics. In the case of the same preload, the former’s stiffness is increased by about 50 %, and the damping is increased about five to six times.

Abstract Machine tools are constantly in motion during machining; however, studies have not considered the effect of the dynamic and static characteristics of the machine caused by the movement of the structure over time. In this study, the time-varying moving structure in the spatial coordinate arm is analyzed to improve the spatial accuracy of the motion of a five-axis machine tool in the cutting area. The objective is to design a high-speed five-axis moving-column machine tool and to perform structural analysis of spatial accuracy. We studied the static and dynamic characteristics of a five-axis machine tool, designed and improved its mechanical structure, and optimized its structural configuration. With further analysis, the entire machine structure was enhanced to improve its static and dynamic characteristics. The static and dynamic characteristics of the machine structure were found to directly affect its processing performance and the precision of the workpiece machined by the tool. Through this study, the design technology for speed, accuracy, and surface roughness of the machine tool was further improved.

Machine tool structures find large-scale applications in various machining industries due to their necessity to design several kinds of machines. However, the vibration produced on machining is a significant problem which has to be overcome. To suppress the vibration, several researchers have attempted to enhance the machine tool structure’s dynamic characteristics in the recent past. The composite materials have risen up as a new kind of material for the manufacture of machine tool structures with producing lesser vibrations since the past few decades. To increase the production of precision products, machining should be done at high speeds without producing vibration. The dynamic characteristics such as natural frequency as well as damping of machine tool structures are very important parameters. Hence, the improvement of these parameters is nothing but the improvement of dynamic characteristics, as said earlier. Therefore, the present review elaborates various available reports on the improved dynamic characteristics of machine tools. The review focused mainly on mechanical and dynamic properties of alternate materials for machine tools with different composite materials. Furthermore, conflicting conditions of suitable alternate material for the preparation of machine tools are also focused in the present review. To the best of our knowledge, the review on the use of alternate materials for the manufacturing of machine tool structures has not been reported elsewhere and hence the present review will provide useful information for subsequent researchers to enhance the scope of research work in the area of manufacturing machine tool structures.
