The Influence of the Movement Method on the Results of Machine Tool Positioning Accuracy Analysis

The improvement of machine tools, and therefore, of industrial production, requires high accuracy of machining while adapting to the different dimensions of the workpieces and to the machines themselves. As a result, the improvement of testing procedures and the analysis of positioning accuracy results represent an important research task in modern manufacturing engineering. The paper presents the results of the research carried out with the aim of determining the influence of the choice of parameters for standardized testing of positioning accuracy on the measurement results with reference to the characteristics of the machines from the point of view of the size of the workspace and the machines themselves. In this way, it is possible to choose the appropriate test parameters of the machine tools depending on their geometrical characteristics and test conditions and within the existing standards.
