Abstract

Increased productivity, higher velocities and acceleration for feed and cutting motions are requirements for innovative machine tools. At the same time the production process must achieve reduced form and position deviations of the work-piece. Therefore knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of machine tools during the design process is essential to develop high-performance machines. Using finite element analysis and mechatronic simulation, taking the mechanical, electrical and control systems into account, is the first step for optimisation. Developing the control parameters using these simulation techniques is one of the major steps in detecting the mechatronic characteristics. This paper presents a method for developing the control parameters concerning tool to work-piece deviations of mechatronic simulation models including disturbance variables. As an example a 2-axis CNC test stand for feed drive axes will be visualised with its simulation and measurement results in the time and the frequency domain.
