The invention discloses a method for testing and evaluation of the operating characteristics of a vertical
machining center. The method comprises the steps that a
laser ruler fixed to a Y-direction
machine body emits and receives
laser reflected by a reflector fixed to a Y-direction sliding
saddle so that the Y-direction movement of a
machine tool is detected; a
laser ruler RLD fixed to the sliding
saddle emits and receives the laser reflected by a reflector fixed to a
workbench so that the X-direction movement of the
machine tool is detected; an acceleration sensor fixed to the
workbench is used for detecting the acceleration signals of the
workbench in the running process along a path in the X, Y and Z directions, so that the detection of the operating characteristics of the vertical
machining center is achieved; in the detection process, the no-load constant-speed whole
stroke acceleration signals of the vertical
machining center are decomposed into instantaneous
impact signals andsteady state signals, and meanwhile the
operating speed of the vertical machining center includes high speed, intermediate speed and
low speed; the transient and
steady state motion characteristic indexes of the vertical machining center are extracted separately, and the quantitative evaluation of the operating characteristics of the vertical machining center is achieved.
