Multibody model of Heavy Machine Tool

This paper deals with the simulation assessment of axis X damping possibilities of Heavy Machine Tools. CAD models have been provided by The TOSHULIN Company. The paper describes modelling of the axis X as the multibody system. It consists of rigid and flexible bodies. The main goal of this paper is to create a simplified model and get the information for a strategic decision of manufacturers about damping possibilities of the axis X. Several software products were used in this case, such as SolidWorks for providing CAD models, Ansys, MSC. Adams and Matlab/Simulink. The multibody model of the axis X with the flexible bodies is presented and the state space models are created.
