Abstract
The purpose of this research is to improve the machining accuracy of YK3610 Hobbing machine through thermal error compensation. This study presents the whole process of thermal error modeling and compensation by using Back Propagation Network (BPN) and ant colony optimization is introduced into the training of BPN. The results show that the BPN model based on ant colony algorithm improves the prediction accuracy of thermal errors on the gear hobbing machine and the thermal drift has been reduced from 14.2 μm to 4.5 μm after compensation.
