The challenge to be addressed by this paper is to extend the common machine tool thermal compensation models considering only internal heat sources to include the effects of the cutting process. Although real-time software compensations of thermal errors exist, the majority of these models only presume machine tools under load-free rotation of the main spindle without any reference to rough machining. The machining process is completely neglected in spite of the fact that it represents a significant heat source and causes workpiece inaccuracy. This paper presents a real-time compensation of three-axis vertical milling centre thermal errors including the cutting process effect. The simulation is based on dynamic modelling using transfer functions. The model was implemented into a standard CNC controller of a three-axis vertical milling centre to compensate for thermal errors in real time. The inputs of the compensation algorithm are the spindle rotational speed, the 5 temperatures of the machine structure and spindle power. A reduction of thermal errors achieved by using the new approximation TF model including cutting process impact is up to 79% for steel cutting tests with different cutting conditions.

Thermal errors caused by internal and external heat sinks and sources may cause more than 50% of machine tool (MT) total error. Demands on machining accuracy and machine time utilization are still increasing. Therefore, research on thermal behaviour of MT structures is crucial for successful manufacturing. Direct (measuring between tool and work-piece) and indirect (predictive models) approaches to compensation of thermo-dependent tool centre point (TCP) displacement can be used to reduce sensitivity to heat flow or temperature control of MT and its environment. Thermal error indirect compensation is one of the techniques widely employed to reduce thermal errors due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of implementation. This paper is a continuation of scientific work on the modelling of complex MT thermal behaviour using a dynamic method with a physical basis: thermal transfer functions (TF). Previously published works focusing on middle-sized MTs are extended here to include heavy-duty MT application. Particular attention is paid to issues concerning compensation of thermal errors caused by interchangeable spindle heads.

Thermal errors caused by the influence of internal and external heat sources in machine tool structure can cause more than 50% of total machine tool inaccuracy. Therefore, research on thermal behavior of machine tool structures is crucial for successful manufacturing. This paper provides an insight into the modeling of highly nonlinear machine tool thermal errors using thermal transfer functions (TTF). The method is dynamic (uses machine tool thermal history) and its modeling and calculation speed is suitable for real-time applications. The method does not require interventions into the machine tool structure, uses very few additional gauges and solves separately each influence participating on thermal error. The paper focuses on the development of a robust thermal model sensitive to various machine tool thermal behavior nonlinearities with the help of minimum input information. Model was applied on real machine tool (portal milling centre) and was verified within a complicated electro-spindle revolution spectrum. Moreover, the said compensation model was applied on another machine tool to prove its robustness and portability among machines of the same type set and the results of the TTF model were compared with a model obtained via multiple linear regression (MLR) as a case study.

Thermal errors caused by the influence of internal and external heat sources in machine tool structure can cause up to 70% of total machine tool inaccuracy. Therefore, research on thermal behavior of machine tool structures is crucial for successful manufacturing. This paper provides an insight into the modeling of highly nonlinear (increasing with the complexity of the structure) machine tool thermal behavior using thermal transfer functions This approach to modeling is dynamic (uses thermal history) and, due to its relative simplicity, it enables real-time calculations. The method uses very few additional gauges and solves separately each influence participating in the thermal error. The main objective of the article is to describe the estimation of angular deformations occurring at the tool center point due to thermal influences. Transfer functions are used for the identification and control of additional internal heat sources. The second aim is to compare modeling effort with approximation quality. A partial objective is to cover other nonlinearities occurring generally in machine tool thermal behavior. The approach has been verified on a closed quill (a simple and symmetrical machine tool part) and applied on a model of a machine tool structure which has been chosen as the least favorable from the thermal point of view.
