Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to calculating the dynamic error distribution reflected on an S-shaped test piece. First, a numerical model of an S-shaped test piece is established, and the distribution characteristics for the twist angle and curvature are analysed. Second, a delay continuous method (DCM), which can transform the discrete input into a delayed step input, is presented to express the single-axis dynamic error affected by the input quantitatively in the form of a mathematical expression. Based on the sinusoidal input, the feasibility of the DCM is verified by comparing the experimental results of a Simulink simulation model and a mathematical expression derived by the DCM. Third, according to a new three-point tangential (NTPT) positioning algorithm and the DCM, this article makes the first attempt to investigate the quantitative calculation method of the influence of the dynamic performance of a servo feed system for five-axis numerical control (NC) machine tools on the dynamic error distribution for S-shaped test pieces after processing. Parameter p, representing the dynamic characteristic of the servo feed system, is varied to compare the difference of the dynamic error distribution law on S-shaped test pieces. The calculation results show that the parameter p can be adjusted to reduce the dynamic error of the final machined test pieces. It is important to improve the dynamic performance of servo feed systems for five-axis NC machine tools and enhance the machining quality of test pieces. In addition, compared with the calculation results of the dynamic error distribution for an NAS979 test piece, the S-shaped test piece can reflect the dynamic performance of the servo feed system for five-axis NC machine tools more accurately and effectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed calculation method is verified through processing experiments on a five-axis NC machine tool.
