Chapter 6 Machining Accuracy Abstract The machining accuracy of machine parts is the quality foundation of the whole machine. It is usually measured with two indices: machining accuracy and surface quality and their value size will directly affect the performance and life of the whole machine. This chapter mainly involves the machining accuracy. The basic concepts,factors that are related with the machining accuracy, the comprehensive analysis of machining errors, and the methods of raising the machining accuracy are discussed in this chapter

3.1Basic concept of machining accuracy3.1.1 Machining accuracy and machining errorMachining accuracy:The degree of the practical dimensions aftermachining conforms to the desired geometrical parameters.The higher thedegree conforms, the higher the machining accuracy.Machining error: The degree of the practical dimensions after machiningdeviatesfrom thedesired geometrical parameters.The size ofthe machiningerror denotes the size of the machining accuracy.“Machining accuracy"and"Machining error"are two different conceptsto evaluate the accurate degree of the part geometries. In productionpractice, the accuracy is ensured by controlling the machining error or activeadapting method
3.1 Basic concept of machining accuracy 3.1.1 Machining accuracy and machining error Machining accuracy：The degree of the practical dimensions after machining conforms to the desired geometrical parameters.The higher the degree conforms, the higher the machining accuracy. Machining error：The degree of the practical dimensions after machining deviates from the desired geometrical parameters. The size of the machining error denotes the size of the machining accuracy. “Machining accuracy”and“Machining error” are two different concepts to evaluate the accurate degree of the part geometries. In production practice, the accuracy is ensured by controlling the machining error or active adapting method
3.1.2 The method to study the machining accuracyThere are two methods to study the machining accuracy. One is thesingle factor analysis method, in which the machining accuracy is analyzedby calculation, experiment or inspection so as to decide the single factor'sinfluencing law to the single error. Another one is the statistic method, inwhich the statistical theory is used to process the inspected data of a batch ofworkpiecefromthepractice soastocontroltheprocessrunning innormalcondition.These two methods are often used together in practice. Generally, thestatistic method is first used to find out the law of the error, and judge thecauses, then factoranalysis method is used tofind outthekeyfactors whichinfluencethemachiningaccuracy

Generally, the statistic method is first used to find out the law of the error, and judge the causes, then factor analysis method is used to find out the key factors which influence the machining accuracy
3.21Factors affecting the machining accuracyPart machining happens in the processing system composed ofmachine tools, fixtures, cutting tool and workpiece. All the factors in thesystem that may cause machining errors are called the original errors.Theexistence of the original errors makes the positional or motional relationshipdeviated from its desired state, and brings about the machining error. If theoriginal errors existed before machining,or in another word, it is causedwithout the cutting force, it is called the static processing error, otherwise,itiscalledthedynamicprocesserror
