Abstract
Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKMs) offer enhanced motion dynamics and flexibility, bridging the gap between conventional CNC machines and industrial robots. Stiffness, a key determinant of machining accuracy, is often modelled with limited consideration of gravitational effects, leading to reduced predictive accuracy. This paper introduces a novel stiffness modelling approach that integrates a theoretical model without gravity and gravity-based parameter optimisation through experimental analysis. Comprehensive stiffness measurements were conducted to isolate gravitational effects on the machine structure, enabling precise calibration of the theoretical model for accurate stiffness prediction. A six-dimensional stiffness analysis of the X-Mini machine tool using the optimised model demonstrated improved prediction accuracy, reducing errors by 14 %, 21 %, and 8 % in the X, Y and Z directions, respectively. Predicted stiffness and estimated cutting forces were used to compute workspace deformations, which were then compensated by modifying the depth of cut in slot milling. Experimental validation demonstrated the method’s effectiveness, achieving a machined shape error prediction accuracy of 6–9 µm. This approach can be well applied to shape quality prediction of machined parts by robots and machine tools.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
