The imbalance between energy supply and demand is expected to keep increasing, with the
manufacturing sector being responsible for about one-third of world energy consumption …

This paper presents the problems of the geometric accuracy of machine tools. The analytical
and experimental examinations were carried out for a table in which guideway geometric …

This article proposes a method to measure, model and compensate both geometrically
dependent and independent volumetric errors of five-axis, serial CNC machine tools. The …

The functions of metal cutting machine tools have been increasing to meet the demands of
high productivity and high accuracy in machining complicated and difficult parts on one …

This paper presents an algorithm for identifying particular deviations such as angular
deviations around linear axes relating to rotary axes in 5-axis machining centers. In this …

This article presents a new format of tool path polynomial interpolation in 5-axis machining.
The linear interpolation usually used produces tangency discontinuities along the tool path …

This paper describes a method for identifying the eight deviations inherent to five axis
control machining centers by means of simultaneous four-axis control movements. Some …

Ensuring that a five-axis machine tool is operating within tolerance is critical. However, there
are few simple and fast methods to identify whether the machine is in a “usable” condition …

This work deals with the optimisation of tool paths in five-axis machining. The objective is to
improve the kinematic behaviour of machine tools during milling. The orientation of the tool …

High-accuracy three-dimensional miniature components and microstructures are
increasingly in demand in the sector of electro-optics, automotive, biotechnology, aerospace …
