Abstract

The cutting performance of a machine tool is mainly determined by its static and dynamic behavior. During a cutting process high static and dynamic forces may occur, which result in instabilities of the cutting process. Especially, long protruding structure components, such as z-slider of a portal machine, represent a distinct weak spot concerning their structural behavior. The structure integrated compensation modules represent a new approach to compensate static and dynamic deformations of slider structures and help to achieve a considerable improvement of their compliancy behavior.
