Abstract

A kinematically-hybrid 5-axis machine tool is analyzed from the perspective of machine tool design. Its kinematic characteristics are pointed out, which should be considered during the conceptual design process. A result of the structural analysis of the machine is presented, which is performed during the detailed design process. It is also presented how we improve the thermal characteristics of the machine tool by changing the installation position of the actuators.
