What will I learn?
Gain hands-on techniques to model and enhance CNC machine stiffness, precision, and dependability. Cover reference frames, kinematic chains, structural and modal analysis, plus major error factors like backlash, thermal drift, and compliance. Use straightforward diagrams, numerical assessments, and validation tests to create, document, and deliver durable, high-performing machines.
