Multi-axis Laser Engraving Machine Tools (LEMT) are widely used in precision processing of parts with complex surface. The accuracy of kinematic model and parameter measurement are the key factors determining the processing quality of LEMT. In this paper, a kinematic model of multi-axis LEMT was established based on Homogeneous Transformation Matrix (HTM). Two types of unknown parameters, linkage parameters and positioning parameters, were measured in the presented model. Taking advantage of the characteristics of laser processing, this paper proposed a rapid measurement method of linkage parameters by combining the machine tool motion with the laser marking action. For positioning parameters, this study proposed a non-contact measurement method based on structured light scanner, which can obtain the translation values and the rotation values from the Workpiece Coordinate System (WCS) to the Basic Coordinate System (BCS) simultaneously. After the measurement of two kinds of parameters of a multi-axis LEMT was completed, the processing of a spatial curve was performed and the average contour error was controlled at 15.1 µm, which is sufficient to meet the project requirements.

Abstract Five-axis machining center, combined three linear and two rotary axes, has been increasingly used in complex surface machining. However, as the two additional axes, the machined surface under table coordinate system is usually different from the tool motion under machine coordinate system, and as a result, it is very tough to predict the machined shape errors caused by each axes error motions. This research presents a new kind of sensitivity analysis method, to find the relationship between error motions of each axis and geometric errors of machined shape directly. In this research, the S-shaped machining test is taken as a sample to explain how the sensitivity analysis makes sense. The results show that the presented sensitivity analysis can investigate how the error motions affect the S-shaped machining accuracy and predicted the influence of error motions on certain positions, such as the reversal errors of the axes around motion reversal points. It can be proved that the presented method can help the five-axis machining center users to predict the machining errors on the designed surface of each axes error motions.

Nowadays the five-axis machine tool is one of the most important foundations of manufacturing industry. To guarantee the accuracy of the complex surface machining, multi-axis linkage performance detection and compensation of five-axis machine tools is necessary. RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) is one of the basic essential functions for the five-axis machine tools, which can keep the tool center with the machining trajectory when five axes move synchronously. On the basis of RTCP function, a way to detect multi-axes linkage performance of five-axis machine tools is briefly introduced, and linkage error model is built in accordance with the topological structure of machine tool. Based on the feature of the linkage errors of the five-axis machine tool, the error tracing and compensation method is proposed. Some simulations and experiments that verify the error tracing method could locate the linkage error category are established. Therefore, a new attempt to detect and compensate the linkage error of the five-axis machine tool is provided in this paper.

In high-precision machine tools, contour error at axis reversal can significantly reduce the quality of products. Resulting from non-linear friction behaviour, the reversal error is traditionally handled by the velocity controller, which highly relies on a high-performance current servo. However, the widely employed pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter in the power stage of the current servo operates with a severe non-linearity known as deadband. The deadband effect degrades the current-loop tracking performance and consequently hinders the velocity controller in responding to friction disturbances. The result is a significant and oscillatory tracking error, or contour error in a multiaxis system. Unlike other approaches where the deadband is compensated via measurement or estimation, a control system approach is proposed in this paper where the deadband is treated as a voltage perturbation in the current loop. The proposed scheme incorporates a feedforward signal from the current command and schedules the integral action in the current controller accordingly. The proposed scheme was implemented in digital servo drives of a commercial grinding machine. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is an effective and practical solution for this type of problem.

Abstract Models that are able to accurately predict the dynamic behavior of machine tools are crucial for a variety of applications ranging from machine tool design to process simulations. However, with increasing accuracy, the models tend to become increasingly complex, which can cause problems identifying the unknown parameters which the models are based on. In this paper, a method is presented that shows how parameter identification can be eased by systematically reducing the dimensionality of a given dynamic machine tool model. The approach presented is based on ranking the model's input parameters by means of a global sensitivity analysis. It is shown that the number of parameters, which need to be identified, can be drastically reduced with only limited impact on the model's fidelity. This is validated by means of model evaluation criteria and frequency response functions which show a mean conformity of 98.9 % with the full-scale reference model. The paper is concluded by a short demonstration on how to use the results from the global sensitivity analysis for parameter identification.

Cross-coupled controllers have been proposed for improving contouring accuracy of multiaxis machine tools. However, during cross-coupled motion control, increasing contour feedrate may result in larger contour errors. In order to increase feedrate and hence productivity without sacrificing the contouring performance, this paper presents an adapative feedrate control strategy based on a linear perturbed model. The method effectively closes the feedback loop between the contour error and feedrate. An experimental biaxial control system is constructed to implement the proposed strategy. Both computer simulation and experiments have verified that desired contouring accuracy can be achieved.
