Summary:This paper presents a novel Virtual Machining System Simulator (VMSS) which quantifies and visualizes the effect of machine tool errors under quasi-static load conditions on the machine tool’s accuracy. The VMSS is a generalized machine tool model that incorporates geometric errors and static loads to simulate the interaction between the machine tool structure and the cutting process. The errors are captured and described through the synthesis of bottom-up and top-down model building approaches. The paper presents ideas how to utilize the information from the VMSS to improve the process capability and discusses challenges to realise a fully digitized model.
