The error compensation technique is used to improve the accuracy of non-contact high-precision measuring system. To ensure the accuracy of the high-precision non-contact four-coordinate blade profile measuring system, the geometric and thermal error compensation model is proposed in this paper. The system is composed of three orthogonal coordinate axes (X, Y and Z) and a rotation axis R. The coordinate transformation matrix can be calculated by the mathematical model of rigid body which is established according to the related theoretical analysis. Three-beam interferometer and standard gauge block are adopted to verify the geometric error of the system. In the thermal deformation error compensation, wavelet neural network model is established. The thermal and geometric error compensation methods are analyzed and the experimental results are given.

On-machine error compensation (OMEC) is efficient at improving machining accuracy without increasing extra manufacturing cost, and involves the on-machine measurement (OMM) of machining accuracy and modification of program code based on the measurement results. As an excellent OMM technique, chromatic confocal sensing allows for the rapid development of accurate and reliable error compensation technique. The present study integrated a non-contact chromatic confocal probe into an ultra-precision machine for OMM and OMEC of machined components. First, the configuration and effectiveness of the OMM system were briefly described, and the relevant OMEC method was presented. With the OMM result, error compensation software was then developed to automatically generate a modified program code for error compensation. Finally, a series of cutting experiments were performed to verify the validity of the proposed OMEC method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed error compensation method is reliable and considerably improves the form error of machined components.

Error compensation technology offers a significant means for improving the geometric accuracy of CNC machine tools (MTs) as well as extending their service life. Measurement and identification are important prerequisites for error compensation. In this study, a measurement system, mainly composed of a self-developed micro-angle sensor and an L-shape standard piece, is proposed. Meanwhile, a stepwise identification method, based on an integrated error model, is established. In one measurement, four degrees-of-freedom errors, including two-dimensional displacement and two-dimensional angle of a linear guideway, can be obtained. Furthermore, in accordance with the stepwise identification method, the L-shape standard piece is placed in three different planes, so that the measurement and identification of all 21 geometric errors can be implemented. An experiment is carried out on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to verify the system. The residual error of the angle error, translation error and squareness error are 1.5″, 2 μm and 3.37″, respectively, and these are compared to the values detected by a Renishaw laser interferometer.

This article intends to provide an error compensation system for five-axis machine tools. A volumetric error model is established with homogeneous transformation matrix method, from which compensation values of both orientation and position errors can be obtained. Thirty-seven errors on a five-axis machine tool are classified into three categories – functional, random, and negligible errors, among which the effect of the first one on volumetric accuracy is considered as great enough to be included in this model. Some typical modeling methods are discussed on positioning and straightness errors, considering both geometric and thermal effects. Then, we propose a compensation implementation technique based on the function of external machine zero point shift and Ethernet data communication protocol for machine tools. Finally, laser diagonal measurements have been conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed volumetric error compensation system.

This paper presents a geometric error compensation method for large five-axis machine tools. Compared to smaller machine tools, the longer axis travels and bigger structures of a large machine tool make them more susceptible to complicated, position-dependent geometric errors. The compensation method presented in this paper uses tool tip measurements recorded throughout the axis space to construct an explicit model of a machine tool's geometric errors from which a corresponding set of compensation tables are constructed. The measurements are taken using a laser tracker, permitting rapid error data gathering at most locations in the axis space. Two position-dependent geometric error models are considered in this paper. The first model utilizes a six degree-of-freedom kinematic error description at each axis. The second model is motivated by the structure of table compensation solutions and describes geometric errors as small perturbations to the axis commands. The parameters of both models are identified from the measurement data using a maximum likelihood estimator. Compensation tables are generated by projecting the error model onto the compensation space created by the compensation tables available in the machine tool controller. The first model provides a more intuitive accounting of simple geometric errors than the second; however, it also increases the complexity of projecting the errors onto compensation tables. Experimental results on a commercial five-axis machine tool are presented and analyzed. Despite significant differences in the machine tool error descriptions, both methods produce similar results, within the repeatability of the machine tool. Reasons for this result are discussed. Analysis of the models and compensation tables reveals significant complicated, and unexpected kinematic behavior in the experimental machine tool. A particular strength of the proposed methodology is the simultaneous generation of a complete set of compensation tables that accurately captures complicated kinematic errors independent of whether they arise from expected and unexpected sources.
