TEST BENCH FOR ASSESSING THE ACCURACY AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF CNC AXES

Abstract


The paper presents a test bench for testing a kinematic axes system that is a part of a machine-tool, robot or other technological equipment. It describes the bench structure and the calculation method for loading the kinematic axes with loads equivalent to those to which they are subjected during operation in the real machine. The test bench was actually built and equipped for testing the kinematic axes of a five-axis CNC machine tool. Tests were done regarding the operation of the axes on the bench and the creation of several interpolation programs. The performance and advantages of the research carried out for the study of the feed axes of the 5-axis machine are synthetically presented in the paper.
