Abstract : Volumetric error (VE) is determined by machine tool geometric error elements (GEE). Most of VE models in recent studies have a common issue that some GEE are missing in models explicit mathematical expressions, which directly affects machine tool VE prediction accuracy. Therefore, a methodology for complete modeling machine tool VE was proposed. Multi-body system theorem and homogeneous coordinate transformations were borrowed as analysis approaches. On the basis that initial positions and origi Full article
