Abstract: Research on the distribution of machine tool reliability indexes is of great significance to improve the reliability of machine tools in the design and manufacture stages. Owing to the complex structure of heavy-duty CNC machine tools, multi-source and heterogeneous failure causes, etc., the traditional single method cannot get accurate results. In this paper, based on the FTA method, a three-level machine tool fault tree model is established to carry out research on reliability index assignment. Then, as the levels progress, the distribution of reliability indicators is based on probability importance analysis, reliability redistribution method, and AHP respectively. Finally, the top-down reliability assignment results are obtained. After analysis, the structure obtained by combining multiple reliability allocation methods is more in line with the actual situation. According to the results, the weak parts of the machine tool are designed and improved, thereby improving the reliability of the machine tool.
