“…According to Ramesh et al [ 18 , 19 ], the thermal factors account for 40–70% of the total dimensional and shape errors in machine tools. Much scientific research has been performed to analyze, model, and compensate the influence of thermal positioning error in manually or computer-numerical-control (CNC) machines [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The majority of this research analyzes only the machine tool structure, considering that the used measurement system is not the source of the error by itself [ 29 ].…”
