Abstract
There are many bolted structures in heavy-duty gantry machine tools, and the structural performance of these components greatly impacts the dynamic properties of the entire machine. Firstly, based on the fractal theory, a bolt preload-contact stiffness and damping model was established by characterizing the load, deformation and strain energies of the bolted joint surfaces. In order to precisely forecast the dynamic features, a dynamic response model of the tip point of the gantry machine was first proposed by adopting the multi-body system transfer matrix method. The feasibility of the contact mechanism and the dynamic response model were verified by modal tests respectively. Finally, the effect of bolt preload loosening on the dynamic response of the whole machine is analyzed. In the scaled model of the gantry machine, when the bolt preloads on the lathe bed-column and crossing beam-column joint surfaces are loosened by 30 %, the displacement response of the tool tip point increases by 41.2 % and 40.1 % respectively, which indicates that the effect of lathe bed-column interface is more significant. This paper seeks out the weak link in the gantry machine tool, which helps to carry out the design optimization of its assembly processing afterward.
