The invention discloses a detection method for the synchronization error between a
translational motion shaft and a rotating shaft of a five-axis numerically-controlled
machine tool. The detection method comprises the following steps that (1) a measurement range is determined, and a measurement trajectory NC program is calculated; (2) an evaluation index of the synchronization error between the rotating shaft and the
translational motion shaft is determined; (3) a ball bar meter is installed, a tool tip rotating follow function of the five-axis
machine tool is started, the measurement program is operated, and measurement data of the ball bar meter are obtained; (4) the current synchronization error between the rotating shaft and the
translational motion shaft is worked out; and (5) the
servo position proportional
gain and speed feed-forward
gain servo parameters of the measured rotating shaft and
servo position proportional
gain and speed feed-forward gain servo parameters of the measured translational motion shaft are adjusted according to the measured synchronization error situation, and then error measurement is conducted till the error reaches the precision requirement level of the
machine tool. According to the detection method for the synchronization error between the translational motion shaft and the rotating shaft of the five-axis numerically-controlled
machine tool, measurement of the synchronization error between the rotating shaft and the translational motion shaft can be achieved by simply measuring the movement path, operation is easy,
error separation is clear, and efficient adjustment of the synchronization error is convenient.
