Web-based Component Data for the Commissioning of Machine Tools

Abstract

This article presents an approach of simplifying machine tool commissioning processes with web based component data. As commissioning and error compensation processes of machines often require extensive manual labor and repetitive tasks, they present great potential for further digitalization. Therefore, a systematic approach for generating and implementing a digitalization concept is applied. As a result, a commissioning device accessing web based component data is implemented. The device uses geometric errors of individual components in a machine tool and generates compensation values for the control of the machine's axes.
