  • Publication number: 20250271249
    Abstract: A method for identifying geometric errors in a machine tool includes the steps of: positioning a reference sphere so as to align its center with a centerline of a tool spindle; attaching a position measuring device having a gauge head to a rotation unit so as to direct the gauge head toward a rotation centerline of the rotation unit; acquiring displacement data relative to the center of the reference sphere by measuring positions of the reference sphere with the gauge head while rotating a rotation target (the swivel unit or the rotation unit) with the gauge head directed toward the center of the reference sphere, the displacement data being dependent on rotation angles of the rotation target; and identifying the geometric errors by least squares method using a mathematical expression having terms containing the geometric errors and representing displacement dependent on the rotation angles, and the displacement data.
