New approaches, using machine learning to model the thermo-elastic machine tool error, often rely on machine internal data, like axis speed or axis position as input data, which have a delayed relation to the thermo-elastic error. Since there is no direct relation to the thermo-elastic error, this can lead to an increased computation inaccuracy of the model or the need for expensive sensor equipment for additional input data. The encoder difference is easy to obtain and has a direct relationship with the thermo-elastic error and therefore has a high potential to improve the accuracy thermo-elastic error models. This paper first investigates causes of the encoder difference and its relationship with the thermo-elastic error. Afterwards, the model is presented, which uses the encoder difference to compute the thermo-elastic error. Due to the complexity of the relationship, it is necessary, to use a machine learning approach for this. To conclude, the potential of the encoder difference as an input of the model is evaluated.

The current development of production engineering takes place through the innovative improvement of machine tools and machining processes at the constantly growing application of intelligent self-improvement functions. Machine learning opens up possibilities for machine tool self-improvement in real time. This paper discusses the state of knowledge relating to the application of machine learning for precise and cost-effective thermal error self-compensation. Data acquisition and processing, models and model learning and self-learning methods are also considered. Three highly effective error compensation systems (supported with machine learning) are analysed and conclusions and recommendations for future research are formulated.

When machine tool spindles are running at a high rotation speed, thermal deformation will be introduced due to the generation of large amounts of heat, and machining accuracy will be influenced as a result, which is a generalized issue in numerous industries. In this paper, a new approach based on machine vision is presented for measurements of spindle thermal error. The measuring system is composed of a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) camera, a backlight source and a PC. Images are captured at different rotation angles during end milling process. Meanwhile, the Canny edge detection and Gaussian sub-pixel fitting methods are applied to obtain the bottom edge of the end mill which is then used to calculate the lowest point coordinate of the tool. Finally, thermal extension of the spindle is obtained according to the change of the lowest point at different time steps of the machining process. This method is validated through comparison with experimental results from capacitive displacement sensors. Moreover, spindle thermal extension during the processing can be precisely measured and used for compensation in order to improve machining accuracy through the proposed method.
