[0002] CNC machine tools convert machining programs into machine tool control signals through a computer control system, enabling automatic machining of workpieces. They are characterized by high precision, high efficiency, and high degree of automation.
[0003] In CNC machine tool spindle heads, the gear transmission of the reduction assembly achieves power transmission and conversion of speed and torque through the meshing of gears. Excessive backlash in the gear transmission of the reduction assembly leads to decreased transmission accuracy, thus affecting the machining accuracy of the machine tool. During transmission, the gears are subjected to additional vibration and torque, further reducing machining accuracy and even introducing errors. Due to excessive gear backlash, the gears cannot mesh properly, easily causing phenomena such as gear jumping, wobbling, or booming, resulting in a lack of stability in machine tool operation and consequently affecting workpiece machining accuracy and work efficiency.
