For measuring machines and machine tools, geometrical accuracy is a key performance criterion. Whilenumerical compensation is well established for CMMs, it is increasingly used on machine tools inaddition to mechanical accuracy. This paper is an update on the CIRP keynote paper by Sartori and Zhangfrom 1995 [Sartori S, Zhang GX (1995) Geometric error measurement and…
The methods and results are presented for applying software error compensation to a commercial three axis coordinate measuring machine. The technique incorporates compensation for geometric positioning errors and some thermal effects. Geometric error computation is based on a rigid body model of workpiece motion in the machine coordinate frame. Complete kinematic equations of the error…
The article presents the results of research into the three dimensional measurement process using a classically designed measuring machine. This machine has been retrofitted with laser interferometers to provide a stable metric and is controlled by a minicomputer. Machine motions are programmable in a high level interactive language. Data links are provided to a larger…
