Abstract
This paper presents a simulator that graphically presents the influence of rotary-axis geometric errors on the geometry of a finished workpiece. Commercial machining simulation software is employed for application to arbitrary five-axis tool paths. A five-axis kinematic model is implemented with the simulator to calculate the influence of rotary-axis geometric errors. The machining error simulation is demonstrated for 1) the cone frustum machining test described in ISO 10791-7:2015 [1], and 2) the pyramid-shaped machining test proposed by some of the authors in [2]. The influences of the possible geometric errors are simulated in advance. By comparing the measured geometry of the finished workpiece to the simulated profiles, major error causes are identified without numerical fitting to the machine’s kinematic model.
