Abstract
In past few years, using of linear motor becomes a good approach for high speed feeding and cutting for the machine tools. In all types of linear motor, linear induction motor is the most potential one to be used in this purpose. However, use of the linear induction motor in machine tools causes cutting path error due to the long reaction time to balance the cutting force. To study the cutting path error, in this thesis the model of three axes machine tool by using MSC.ADAMS, the equivalent models of linear induction motor and cutting force in Simulink environment are set up. Combining those three models, the cutting path of linear machine tool is simulated. From the results of the simulation, the cutting path error is found and the methods to decrease cutting path error are suggested.
