“…With the rapid development of large-scale equipment manufacturing industries such as large-scale aircraft, large ships, marine engineering equipment, and large-scale energy equipment, the demand for machining large-scale ship propellers, large turbine blades, large-scale wind turbines, and large aircraft complex whole structural parts is increasing continuously (Ding et al, 2011; Li et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2015a). The machining of large-scale complex parts not only requires high precision but also requires overall machining, short machining time, and high efficiency (Chen et al, 2016; Miao et al, 2017). To achieve high-efficiency machining of these high-precision large-scale complex parts, a major method is to use a large gantry machine tool for composite machining (Guo et al, 2016).…”
