Simulation and Validation of Static and Dynamic Machine Tool Measurements

Abstract

Machine tools’ accuracy level is an important factor for producing accurate dimensions in workpieces. To be sure about the suitable accuracy level, machine tool users use different kinds of measuring methods. There are two kind of measuring systems for machine tool measurements: static and dynamic measurement systems. There is a clear relationship between these measurements. In this work, a theoretical and practical relation has been established between static and dynamic measuring systems. These relations are important whenever machine tools are measured using different measuring devices to validate the measurement results. In this work the tool-tip trace obtained by one measuring system has been compared and simulated with the trace obtained by other methods. A number of systematic mathematical models have been developed and compared with the results obtained by alternative measuring methods.
