Research on Roundness Error Measurement and Separation Method of NC Machine Tools

This paper first introduces the trajectory mode of the each error source in detection the roundness error of NC machine tool. The error separation algorithm is derived according to the relationship between the various error sources and the machine tool motion trajectory. Based on the two testing link under different condition, comparing the test results under two testing conditions, the main error source of NC machine tools is further analyzed. According to the merits and demerits of the two kinds of detection methods, the different round error detection method can be chosen under different occasions.
