Evaluation of machining system static stiffness

• The majority of test methods used for determine a machining systems status, are machine tool oriented and do not take into consideration the characteristics of the machining process. In this paper an evaluation method for determining a machining system static characteristics are discussed. The importance of joint stiffness and damping in elastic structures of machine tool is emphasized. In this context the new type of double ball bar (DBB) is described which applies a preload on the structure, thus creating more realistic conditions for accuracy measurements. Also, for machine capability analysis, the overall elastic structure must be considered, i.e., machine tool-fixture-workpiece-tool holder-tool.
