description The thermal error of the high-power grinding motorized spindle, caused by heating, seriously affects machining accuracy. In this paper, an ensemble learning algorithm is used to predict the thermal error of a high-precision motorized spindle. The subsequent problem of thermal error compensation can be effectively solved by a suitable thermal error model, which is crucial for improving the machining accuracy of the actual machining process. Firstly, the steady-state temperature field of the grinding motorized spindle is analyzed and used to determine the position of the sensors. Then, a signal acquisition instrument is used to monitor real-time temperature data. After that, experimental results are obtained, followed by verification. Finally, based on experimental data and the optimization results of temperature measurement points, temperature data are used as the input variable, and thermal deformation data are used as the output variable. The ensemble learning model is composed of different weak learners, which include multiple linear regression, back-propagation, and radial basis function neural networks. Different weak learners are trained using datasets separately, and the output of the weak learners is used as input to the model. Through integrating strategies, an ensemble learning model is established and compared with a weak learner. The error residual set of the ensemble learning model remains within [−0.2, 0.2], and the prediction performance shows that the ensemble learning model has a better predictive effect and strong robustness.
