Abstract

To establish the dynamic model of machine tool structure is an important means to assess the performance of the machine tool structure during the cutting process. It is necessary to study the dynamics of the machine tools in different configurations for the sake of analyzing the dynamic behavior of the machine tools in the entire workspace. In this paper, a robust approach is presented to build an efficient and reliable dynamic model to evaluate the position-dependent dynamics of the twin ball screw (TBS) feed system. First, the TBS feed system is divided into several components, and a finite element (FE) model is built for each component. Second, the Craig-Bampton method is proposed to reduce the order of the substructures. Third, a multipoint constraints (MPCs) method was introduced to model the mechanical joint substructures of the TBS system, and the spring-damper element (SDE) is employed to connect the condensation nodes. Finally, a series experimental tests and full-order FE analysis are conducted on the self-designed TBS worktable in the four positions to validate the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic model. The results show that the proposed approach evaluates accurately the position-dependent behavior of the TBS system.
