Nonlinear analysis of axial vibration of five-axis machine tool worktable with double turntable

Abstract Studies show that the applied torque and load on the worktable of a dual-turntable five-axis machine tool continuously changes during the machining process. These variations generate vibration in the worktable along the axial direction, thereby reducing the machining accuracy. In order to improve the machining accuracy of the machine tool and the dynamic characteristics of the worktable, this paper first established the nonlinear dynamic equation of the axial vibration of the machine tool table when the worktable is subjected to torque, swing moment and load according to the elasticity of the plate and shell; then according to Galerkin The truncation method solves the dynamic displacement in the axial direction of the worktable, as well as the bifurcation diagram, displacement waveform diagram, phase plane trajectory and Poincaré cross-section diagram of the processing system; Finally, the influence of different parameters, including torque, swing moment, and load on axial vibration of the worktable was analyzed during the tool operation. The obtained results reveal that as the external load changes, the corresponding axial vibration of the worktable is mainly in the state of large periodic motion, where the maximum vibration amplitude reaches 0.09mm, and the external load has the greatest influence on the axial vibration of the worktable. Moreover, the axial vibration of the worktable is affected by the swing moment. More specifically, in the chaotic state of a small period and small area, the maximum vibration amplitude reaches 0.03mm, and the swing moment has a negligible effect on the axial vibration of the worktable. The influence of torque and load on the vibration characteristics of the five-axis machine tool table during machining was studied through experiments. The obtained results demonstrate that non-linear analysis of the table axial vibration of the five-axis machine tool with dual turntables is an effective way to control the stability of the worktable during the processing of the workpiece.
