More Details: In large-scale machine tool applications, the presence of low structural natural frequencies limits the cutting capabilities of the machine. The machine tool joints interact with the structural mode shapes, hence, the feed drive system characteristics can significantly influence the resultant dynamics at the cutting point. This paper investigates the effect of guideway non-linear friction and feed drive motion control parameters on chatter stability predictions. Field experimentation on seven machines reveals substantial differences between in-motion and idle dynamics, leading to errors in traditional process stability predictions. By using a one-degree-of-freedom model that incorporates non-linear friction and controller forces together with motion commands, the effect of axis motion on machine tool dynamics is analyzed. Later, the feed and force non-linearities are studied in a large-scale machine tool using traditional and alternative dynamic characterization techniques. The findings demonstrate that both feed and force non-linearities influence the frequency response functions at the cutting points, ultimately affecting the accuracy of process stability predictions. Proper selection of feed drive control parameters reduces the cutting point compliance, improving machine tool productivity by up to 50%.
