Manifestations of error.

PrincipleSubitemManifestations and consequencesTypical examples/models

Bed factorsRigidityDeformation of the bed under loadLocalized radial deviation of shape accuracy; localized divergence of position accuracyNot enough allowance after roughing for finishing; poor geometric or position accuracy in a particular machining area of the machine tool
Geometric precisionBed geometry deviationsShape accuracy deviation; geometric deviation in position accuracyPersistently poor geometrical accuracy in perpendicularity, parallelism, flatness, etc.; the position of the pore system deviates continuously from the geometrical pattern

Drive, lubrication, and CNC factorsPositioning deviationLarge absolute deviations in unidirectional positioning of the bedOffset and stable position accuracyConsistently and consistent poor position accuracy in the serial production on exact fixture
Reverse errorLarge positioning deviation of the bed’s reciprocating motionOffset and regular position accuracyExceedingly poor accuracy in rows or columns with toolpaths in opposite directions during complete column feature machining; poor positional accuracy and visible tool marks on curved surfaces in machine tools with frequent axis changes
Position distributionHigh repetitive positioning deviation for unidirectional bed movementOffset and instable position accuracyThere are no individual instances of failure, which are usually superimposed on the positioning bias factor in the results

Other factorsPayloadChanges in the geometric accuracy of the machine under loadShape accuracy deviation; geometric deviation in position accuracyAfter loading, the geometrical accuracy of perpendicularity, parallelism, flatness, etc., is consistently out of whack; after loading, the position of the pore system continues to deviate in a geometrical pattern
VibrationResonance of machine tools in specific operating conditionsUnusual vibration noise; poor surface quality of machined partsThe surface roughness is extremely poor, but the dimensions are acceptable; the machined surface has a regular knife pattern
Temperature fieldsDeformation of bed components or workpieces with temperature riseOffset and instable position accuracyDifference in temperature between day and night in nontemperature-controlled workshops and variation in overall accuracy; parts with particularly long machining times and variations in local accuracy
