In this study, the design and analysis of a gantry-type 5-axis CNC machine tool are presented with experimental results on a manufactured prototype. Critical points in the design of a large-scale and heavy-duty machine tool are discussed. Moreover, FE analysis results are also presented with detailed discussion. The measurement results on structural dynamics are shown together with the FE results. Furthermore, the final performance of the machine tool is demonstrated thorough the position and velocity measurements of the axes.
