Thermovision analysis of a CNC milling machine

Abstract

This article concerns a thermovision analysis of a DMU40 5-axis CNC milling machine using a thermal camera. First the measuring instrument and the layout of the measurement are presented. Before this measurement a thermal model of the machine tool was creted, and an analysis by the means of the finite element method was conducted. After evaluating the results obtained by the simulations, we made the thermovision analysis. Finally, the measured and simulated results have been compared to each other and some conclusions about thermal analysis have been drawn.
