Abstract: Abstract Machining accuracy reliability is considered to be one of the most important indexes in the process of performance evaluation and optimization design of the machine tools. Geometric errors, thermal errors and tool wear are the main factors to affect the machining accuracy and so affect the machining accuracy reliability of machine tools. This paper proposed a geometric error budget method that simultaneously considers geometric errors, thermal errors and tool wear to improve the machining accuracy reliability of machine tools. Homogeneous transformation matrices, neural fuzzy control theory and a tool wear predictive approach were employed to develop a comprehensive error model, which shows the influence of the geometric, thermal errors and tool wear to the machining accuracy of a machine tool. Based on Rackwite–Fiessler and Advanced First Order and Second Moment, a reliability model and a sensitivity model were put forward, which can deal with the errors of a machine tool drawn from any distribution. Then, a geometric error budget method of multi-axis NC machine tool was developed and formed into a mathematical model. In such method, the minimum cost of machine tool was the optimization objective, the reliability of the machining accuracy was the constraint, and the sensitivity was to identify the geometric errors to be optimized. An example conducted on a five-axis NC machine tool was used to explain and validate the proposed method.
