This allows the machine tool to overcome the rapid decline in initial accuracy before leaving the factory, ensuring that the machine tool maintains its accuracy for a long time during its service life at the user's site.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the vibration amplitude change rate is used... R v and strain rate of change R ε Two items Indicators are used to determine the weak points of a machine tool; significant changes in vibration indicate severe wear at that location, while significant changes in strain indicate a degradation in bolt preload at that location.
[0015] A device for enhancing the initial accuracy retention of a vertical machining center, used to implement the method for enhancing the initial accuracy retention of a vertical machining center as described above, includes a follow-up module and a three-dimensional dynamic force loading module; the follow-up module is mounted on the machine tool worktable, the three-dimensional dynamic force loading module is disposed on the follow-up module, the three-dimensional dynamic force loading module is provided with a simulated tool holder assembly, the follow-up module is used to drive the simulated tool holder assembly to move synchronously with the machine tool, and the three-dimensional dynamic force loading module is used to output a loading force to the machine tool under test.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method and apparatus for enhancing the initial accuracy retention of a vertical machining center according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the method for enhancing the initial accuracy retention of a vertical machining center according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: Step S1. Test the original accuracy and feature information of the machine tool; Step S2. Run the machine tool and simultaneously apply a three-dimensional dynamic force follow-up load; stimulate potential problems that lead to a decrease in machine tool accuracy; Step S3. Test the machine tool accuracy and feature information again; Step S4. Calculate the accuracy retention capability index of the computer tool and determine whether it meets the preset index; Step S5. If the condition is met, the test ends; if not, the machine tool is adjusted according to the specified index; then the cycle of steps S1-S4 is repeated.
[0025] In this embodiment, during the running-in stage before the machine tool leaves the factory, dynamic forces are actively applied during the operation of the machine tool to induce the initial precision degradation causes such as the decline of preload on the fixed mating surface and the wear of the rolling mating surface. This allows the machine tool to pass through the initial stage of rapid precision degradation before leaving the factory, ensuring that the precision of the machine tool can be maintained for a long time during its service at the user's site.
[0026] In step S1, a laser interferometer is used to test the positioning accuracy, straightness, and angle of the machine tool; a ball bar is used to test the linkage accuracy and perpendicularity of the machine tool; and the accuracy values of positioning accuracy, straightness, angle, linkage accuracy, and perpendicularity, as well as the curve trajectory of the coordinate position-error of the feed axis, are recorded for each test.
[0027] In step S1, vibration sensors are arranged on the machine tool guide rail slider pair, lead screw nut pair, and bearing seats at both ends to collect the vibration amount at the corresponding position of each vibration sensor when each feed axis of the machine tool is running at 50% of the fastest feed speed. At the same time, the position coordinates of each feed axis of the machine tool are collected from the CNC system through the data acquisition gateway, so that the position coordinates of the feed axis and the vibration amount correspond to each other in space.
[0028] In step S1, a device to enhance the initial accuracy retention of a vertical machining center is installed on the machine tool. Strain gauges are arranged on one side of the bed where the guide rails are mounted, so that the feed axis reciprocates once, and static forces in three directions are applied to the machine tool at the same time. The strain values at each coordinate position under the force loading are collected synchronously through the strain gauges.
[0029] In step S2, the feed axis is made to run at the fastest feed speed, and the initial accuracy retention enhancement device of the vertical machining center is used to apply dynamic forces in the X, Y and Z directions to the machine tool for a total loading time of 72 hours.
[0030] In step S4, the accuracy retention capability indicators include: Indicator 1: Rate of change of precision value R a ; Indicator 2: Accuracy Trajectory Overlap Da ; Indicator 3: Rate of change of vibration amplitude R v ; Indicator 4: Rate of change of strain R ε .
[0031] The range of the accuracy retention capability index includes: Indicator 1: Rate of change of precision value R a ≤10%; Indicator 2: Accuracy Trajectory Overlap D a ≥90%; Indicator 3: Rate of change of vibration amplitude R v ≤10%; Indicator 4: Rate of change of strain R ε ≤10%.
[0032] Specifically, the accuracy retention capability index of the computer tool is calculated based on the accuracy values of positioning accuracy, straightness, angle, linkage accuracy, and perpendicularity obtained before and after loading, as well as the curve trajectory of the feed axis coordinate position-error, obtained in steps one and three. The specific calculation method is as follows: Indicator 1:
[0033] In the formula, R a For the rate of change of the precision value, e af This is the precision value after loading. e be The accuracy values are those before loading; if each accuracy value tested meets the requirements... R a If the percentage is ≤10%, then indicator one is met; Indicator 2:
[0034] In the formula, D a For accuracy trajectory overlap. The area of the overlapping portion of the curve trajectory of the feed axis coordinate position - error before and after loading and the area enclosed by the coordinate axes of the curve trajectory. A be The area enclosed by the curve of the feed axis's coordinate position before loading versus the coordinate axis of that curve; if each accuracy trajectory tested satisfies D a If the percentage is ≥90%, then indicator two is met; Indicator 3:
[0035] In the formula, R v The rate of change of vibration amplitude. V af This represents the peak value of the vibration at the corresponding location of the vibration sensor after loading. V be This represents the peak value of the vibration at the corresponding location of the vibration sensor before loading; if the measured vibration at each corresponding location satisfies... R v If the percentage is ≤10%, then indicator three meets the standard; Indicator 4:
[0036] In the formula, R ε For the rate of change of strain, ε be This represents the peak value of the strain at the coordinate position after loading. ε be The peak value of the strain at the coordinate position before loading; if each test position satisfies R ε If the percentage is ≤10%, then indicator four meets the standard; If all four indicators meet the standards, the machine tool meets the factory requirements and the test ends; if any one indicator fails to meet the standards, the machine tool does not meet the factory requirements and step S5 needs to be continued.
[0037] In step S4, the rate of change of vibration amplitude is used. R v and strain rate of change R ε Two indicators are used to determine the weak points of a machine tool: a significant change in vibration indicates severe wear at that location, and a significant change in strain indicates a degradation in the bolt preload at that location.

[0046] Example 1 Taking the initial accuracy retention enhancement test of a three-axis vertical machining center as an example.
[0047] Step S1. Test the original accuracy and feature information of the machine tool; During the running-in phase before the machine tool leaves the factory, a laser interferometer is used to test the positioning accuracy, straightness, and angle of the X, Y, and Z axes, and a ball bar is used to test the linkage accuracy and perpendicularity. The accuracy values for positioning, straightness, angle, linkage, and perpendicularity are recorded for each step, along with the curve trajectory of the feed axis's coordinate position versus error. Vibration sensors are placed at 15 measuring points on the guide rails, sliders, lead screws, and bearing seats at both ends of the X, Y, and Z axes. A CNC program is written to run the X, Y, and Z axes at a speed of 5000 mm / min, and data is collected simultaneously using vibration sensors and a data acquisition gateway. The vibration and position coordinates of each measuring point during machine tool operation are recorded, and the position coordinates correspond spatially to the vibration. A reinforcement device is installed on the machine tool, and the simulated tool holder assembly 214 of the reinforcement device is connected to the machine tool spindle. The base plate of the follower module 1 is connected to the machine tool worktable. Strain gauges are arranged on one side of the bed-guide rail mounting surface of the X, Y, and Z axes of the machine tool, totaling 36 measuring points. A CNC program is written to make the X axis of the machine tool run at a speed of 5000 mm / min. At the same time, the reinforcement device applies static forces in the X, Y, and Z directions to the machine tool, and the strain values of each measuring point under force loading are collected synchronously through strain gauges.
[0048] Step S2. Apply three-dimensional dynamic force follow-up loading to the machine tool; The machine tool's X-axis is made to run at a speed of 5000 mm / min. At the same time, a dynamic force is applied to the machine tool in the X, Y, and Z directions using a booster device. The dynamic force amplitude is 2000 N and the frequency is 10 Hz. The cumulative loading time is 72 hours.
[0049] Step S3. Re-measure the accuracy and feature information of the machine tool after loading; Stop loading and, following the requirements of step S1, test the accuracy and feature information of the machine tool again after loading.
[0050] Step S4. Calculation and judgment of accuracy retention capability index; Based on the accuracy and feature information data obtained before and after loading obtained in steps S1 and S3, the accuracy retention capability index of the computer tool is calculated according to the calculation formulas of indexes one to four. Through calculation, it was found that the accuracy value change rate of the straightness of the machine tool in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, the accuracy trajectory coincidence, and the strain change rate did not meet the standards.
[0051] Step S5. Trace the source of the machine tool's shortcomings and readjust it.
[0052] By observing the strain changes on the X-axis bed-guide rail mounting surface, it was found that the cause of the change in the straightness of the X-axis Y direction was a change in the pre-tightening state of the wedge block on the side of the guide rail. After readjusting the wedge block on the X-axis side guide rail, steps S1-S4 were repeated, and it was found that all four indicators met the standards, thus ending the test.
