Complex Model of Machine Structure with Feed Drive

Intelligence of machine tools is not conditioned only by application of modern control systems, sensors and other active components. The application of new methods of modelling, that is intelligent design of machine tools and to purposefully predict its properties, is also very effective. Machine tool development for high speed and highly precise cutting demands employment of advanced simulation techniques, which can enable already in the machine tool design phase to model the feed drive dynamic properties and feed drive control. Influence of an appropriate approach to machine frame structure modelling on the feed drive dynamic properties prediction is discussed in this article. Keywords—Machine Tools, Model, Feed drive, Dynamic, Control.
