Dynamic Characteristics of Guideway Joints for CNC Machine Tool

In order to analyze accurately the dynamic characteristics of guideway joints of CNC, the finite element model(FEM) of guideway joints of CNC is built in ANASYS software, which that springs and damping units imitate guideway joints in this paper. The proposed method can predict the regular pattern which joint stiffness and joint span affect natural frequency and harmonic response. The research demonstrates that the method predicts well the dynamic characteristics of the guideway joints of CNC; therefore, it can be a reference for dynamic optimization design of guideway joints of CNC machine tool.
