Abstract

The product quality of machining results is greatly influenced by the accuracy and precision of CNC lathe machine tools. Regular inspection of the geometric inaccuracy of the machine tool is necessary to verify its operational viability. This research contribution focuses on conducting experimental studies to evaluate machine tool geometric error. The aim is to explore cost-effective measurement methods as alternatives to direct measurements, which often involve laser interferometers and ball bar tests. The objective of this study is to investigate the geometric inaccuracy of a CNC turning machine by conducting experimental cutting tests in accordance with ISO 13041-6:2009. The testing will utilize conventional workpiece forms and requirements, including circularity features, flatness, circular features, and maybe combination features. Several geometric errors that can be acquired with this method include circularity errors, linear positional errors, and squareness errors. The cutting test for each workpiece feature of the given shape and specification requires the use of 5 specimens. Consequently, the mean value of the geometric error may be computed. The geometric error value is derived by the analysis of measurement data collected from a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) applied to a specimen of the machined workpiece. Moreover, the evaluation of the geometric error condition of machine tools is ascertained through the comparison of the average data for each category of geometric error against the permissible standard values given in ISO 10791-2, ISO 10791-4, and ISO 13041-4. The findings of the study indicate that the implementation of the object machine study is not viable for the production of machined workpieces of satisfactory quality. This is primarily due to the presence of geometric errors in CNC turning that exceed the acceptable tolerance levels. Specifically, these errors manifest as linear positional deviations along multiple coordinates along the X-axis and Z-axis, as well as squareness deviations between the X-axis and Z-axis. The maximum value of the linear positional error along the X-axis is 55.2 μm, while the maximum value of the linear positional error along the Z-axis is 25.6 μm. Additionally, the greatest observed squareness error is 37.3 μm. The X and Z machine axes exhibit deviations beyond acceptable limits in terms of unidirectional accuracy and unidirectional repeatability, as per the established norm
